PARENTS RUSH TO ENROL THEIR CHILDREN IN KUMON ENGLISH AND MATHS!

Kumon has recently launched the English programme in the UK and parents are already rushing to enrol their children in the new programme. There has been huge interest in the English programme and Kumon believe it will be as equally successful as the Kumon Maths programme in the UK. 

Kumon is the largest provider of supplementary education for children in the world and has acquired over 40 years experience. Kumon was introduced to the UK over 10 years ago and currently there are over 40,000 students, studying at 500 after-school study centres, nationwide. 

The Kumon Maths and English programmes are worksheet-based study programmes, tailored to the individual needs of each student. Students work at a level and pace which is ideal for them which helps to build confidence and study skills. Students attend their local study centre twice a week for approximately 30 minutes per subject. On the other days of the week, students complete a small piece of work at home (10-15 mins per subject).

Mr Fujiwara, Managing Director of Kumon Educational UK, says: "With Kumon there is no failing. Each child works at his or her own pace and the Kumon Instructor monitors progress carefully so that work is set at exactly the right level - never too hard, yet not too easy."


HOW WILL KUMON HELP MY CHILD?

The Kumon Maths programme will help your child to develop core mathematical skills and the Kumon English programme will improve spelling, punctuation, grammar and reading comprehension. In addition to improving your child's study skills and attitude to education, your child's improved numeracy and literacy skills will benefit all subjects studied at school and prepare them for the secondary school curriculum. 


WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY?

Pie Corbett, an ex-teacher, OFSTED inspector and consultant for the National Literacy Strategy, says: "Reading makes you intelligent, so I'm really thrilled that Kumon is introducing an English programme which focuses on reading. I have seen what Kumon has done for my own child - Kumon influences the whole quality of the child's life and turns them on as learners."

Pie Corbett states: "Kumon is making a unique contribution to education - it's doing such important work."


Miss Jones, a primary school teacher and literacy co-ordinator, comments: "The progress made by students studying the programme is amazing! If I ever needed convincing, the results speak for themselves."

CASE STUDY:

Victoria Rolfe, age 15, has completed the Kumon English programme and originally began studying it during it's trial stage. Interestingly, Victoria's mother, Ann, was so impressed with her daughter's progress that she decided to become a Kumon Instructor.

Victoria says: "I was already studying the Kumon Maths programme and it was really helping me with my schoolwork, so when the English programme was introduced, I thought it would be fun to 
study that as well. I have really enjoyed studying the programme because it is really well structured and you can work at your own pace." 

Victoria's parents, Ann and Paul, say: "Kumon gives you such a good basic grounding that you become confident in the subject, which means that they enjoy the subject more. Furthermore, the Kumon work reduces the amount of pressure placed on the student because it prepares them well for their schoolwork."
