Our unique tuition programmes complement the UK school curriculum and cater for your child's individual needs, allowing them to study at a rate that is just right for them and will eventually allow them to take responsibility for their own learning. Our English and Maths tuition programmes have been developed over the last 55 years by dedicated instructional teams working across four continents. Content is revised and honed by academics and professionals with postgraduate qualifications in Maths and English. Attendance is on a "drop-in" basis during class times as each child works on their own individual development plan. Children take approximately 35 minutes per subject and attend class once or twice a week. We also offer a correspondence service which means we can offer our tuition services to students from any location, for more details on this please contact us. The Kumon Maths and English tuition programmes complement the national curriculum and work in a logical, sequential way to develop mathematics and English skills. All children are able to work at the most suitable pace for themselves meaning it is suitable for children that are struggling at school through to those that are being held back by school and require additional challenges. Our aim is to ensure that all students are studying above their school level within 6 months. Over 90% of our children study at 6 months above their school level, 25% of which are currently studying at 2 years above their age this is due to the development in potential that the maths and english tuition programmes encourage.
