About Kumon UK

Written by the company

Kumon offers individualised maths and English study programmes, designed to help children of all ages and abilities fulfil their potential. With more than 600 study centres across the UK and Ireland, Kumon is the largest provider of Maths and English supplementary education for children, delivering proven academic success where children learn valuable study skills and improve their confidence, focus and motivation.

Kumon aims to give students the tools they need to enjoy learning and thrive academically. Kumon-trained Instructors guide their students through work that is set at just the right level for them, keeping them engaged and making progress. By studying little and often through daily worksheets and regular class sessions (online and/or in the centre), students steadily increase their ability and fluency, building their skills in small, manageable steps. Parents can choose either the traditional paper and pencil format or digital, with KUMON CONNECT on their tablet and stylus.

Incorporating technology into our tried and tested materials enables Kumon to provide even more support to children, so while they develop the skills to study independently, their Instructor will be at their side between classes, offering individual guidance, marking, and carefully adjusting their individual study plan as they progress.

We’re always thrilled to hear when parents have come to Kumon after a recommendation from a friend or family member

Written by the company

Take advantage of Kumon’s national Refer a Friend Scheme today!
Throughout the history of the Kumon programme, from its origins in Japan in the 1950s, then internationally in the 1970s and 80s, the demand has often been organic and very much from word-of-mouth recommendations from parents, who saw and had experienced the transformative effects the study methods had on their children’s abilities.
We’re always thrilled to hear when parents have come to Kumon after a recommendation from a friend or family member. Whether that’s a recommendation for the Kumon study method itself, or the experience at a particular Kumon centre, a personal referral has certainly contributed to Kumon’s 600 UK and Ireland study centres being consistently recognised as the largest and best provider of supplementary education in the UK and Ireland.
We're excited to be able to introduce the Kumon national Refer a Friend Scheme where you can now gift your friends and family, who are interested in studying with Kumon, with a Free Registration! Not only that, but we’ll give you a £20/€20 reward for each recommended family that goes on to enrol with a participating Kumon centre, meaning that we get the opportunity to thank you for all your recommendations too!

Kumon helped my daughter understand the importance of maths

My daughter hated maths but performing daily exercises with Kumon has helped her understand its importance and build a consistent homework routine. She is now much more receptive and always tries to challenge herself and improve her timing. Susan and her team have done a great job assisting her 🙌

Kumon at St Michael’s church

Mi daughters attend the Kumon centre at St Michael’s Church, and I think I has an excellent environment for children’s learning. The programme is particularly effective in helping kids to improve their maths and comprehension skills, nurturing both confidence and independent study habits.

Overall, It’s a fantastic resource for parents looking to support their children’s academic growth.

I am very pleased with the Kumon…

I am very pleased with the Kumon learning program and the progress it has helped achieve. The structured step-by-step approach has greatly improved confidence, discipline, and independent learning skills. I have noticed significant improvement in kids' concentration, problem-solving ability, and consistency in daily study habits.

The instructors are supportive, encouraging, and always willing to help when needed. The program is well organised and allows students to progress at their own pace while continuously building strong foundations in maths and reading.

What I appreciate most about Kumon is how it promotes self-learning and perseverance, helping students become more confident and motivated learners. I would highly recommend the Kumon program to parents looking for a structured and effective way to support their child’s academic development.
