We have noticed a difference in Amber because of Kumon. We have gone from a situation of her being nervous and dreading maths at school, to being happy and confident and from being slightly behind to being top set at school.

Kumon students significantly outperform their primary school peers.

[H2] A large-scale independent study - 2020
In 2020, the Education Policy Institute (EPI) - an impartial and evidence-based research institute - carried out independent research aiming to investigate the link between studying the Kumon Maths Programme and children’s school performance.
The results revealed Kumon students significantly outperform their primary school peers in maths, leaving them well placed for the transition to secondary school.

[H2] The bigger picture

[H2]
The Findings - Digging Deeper

All pupils attending state-funded schools in England take their Key Stage 2 national curriculum assessments (SATs) in the final term of Year 6. Pupils receive a scaled score between 80 and 120, with 100 labelled the ‘expected standard’.

The 2020 EPI research found that, without controlling for characteristics, Kumon students who had accessed the Kumon Maths Programme for at least three months scored, on average, 5.27 additional points in their maths SATs compared with the national average. This translates to over a year of additional progress.

Given that, as with any specific group, there are a number of characteristic differences between Kumon students and the general population, Kumon students were then matched with children of similar attributes to reduce the potential influence of external variables. When compared with this control group, Kumon students were found to achieve, on average, 1.8 additional points in their maths SATs compared with their matched peers who had not accessed Kumon. This translates to 6.8 months of additional progress.

[H2]
Secondary Ready

Kumon is proud to be recognised as an education provider that delivers proven academic results.By excelling ahead of their peers by the end of primary school, we believe Kumon students have the confidence, study skills, and academic ability to thrive in their transition to secondary school.Kumon study really does help children of any age and any ability to shine.

What is the Kumon method?

At the heart of our method is the desire to develop children who can think for themselves and that have developed independent study skills that will equip them throughout their life. Using carefully tailored worksheets, students are guided to discover their own capabilities, the skills to self-learn and therefore develop a solid learning foundation.

[H2] Individualised instruction

Students start at a comfortable level, allowing them to build confidence, concentration, and pace before progressing on to higher level work. Our Instructors encourage them to reason their answer and offer careful guidance to develop each child’s ability to self-learn. They’ll carefully observe each student throughout, adjusting their level of study based on their individual ability and fluency.

[IMG: Instruction is individualised to the student]

[H2] What makes us the best choice for learning?

[H2]
Self-learning

Kumon’s study programmes place great importance on self-learning, encouraging students to discover how to solve problems for themselves. It is Kumon’s belief that in equipping students to learn proactively and developing high academic ability, they will have the best chance of pursuing their short and long-term goals and aspirations.
When introducing new concepts, worksheets show example answers to help students work out the correct process independently and apply this to other similar questions to increase familiarity. Instructors do not immediately give their students answers to their questions. Instead they carefully guide students to be aware of focal points of questions and think about the information that is given in the worksheet, supporting them to solve problems by themselves. Succeeding independently in their learning gives students a great sense of accomplishment and enthusiasm for learning and the motivation to continue.

[H2]
Small-step worksheets

Kumon worksheets are designed to take students from simple problems to complex problems in very small steps, increasing difficulty a little at a time. This enables each student to develop their skills gradually, studying at an appropriate level and advancing smoothly through the programme. Increasing difficulty in small steps means it is more likely that students will be able to complete worksheets independently, enhancing their self-learning skills.
Some students may grasp particular topics and concepts very quickly and can move up to the next level once their learning is secure. Other students, needing more time on a particular topic, can study this at length until they succeed, ensuring that the pace of learning is right for them and that they develop solid learning foundations and have a positive learning experience. Worksheets are continually revised, learning from our students and Instructors to make our programmes increasingly effective.

[H2]
Expert Instructors

Kumon Instructors are focussed on developing the potential of each individual child. They pay careful attention to each student’s academic ability, personality and how he or she studies and solves worksheet questions. They observe their working processes without interrupting, to see how students are coping with their work and if they are engaged and confident in their activities. Based on their observations, Instructors provide effective support to ensure study at a level that is just right.
When students encounter problems that they are unable to solve, Instructors ask questions to find out how much they have understood and give hints and examples to help guide them to solve the problem by themselves. Kumon Instructors collaborate closely with parents to support each child to succeed in their studies. They acknowledge the growth of each student, without comparison to others, offering them praise and encouragement.
