When will I see the result of Kumon study in my child's school work? |
Of course it depends on the child, but usually after three months children are seeing some improvement. At the 6 - 12 month point, children are usually reaching their class level and find that they have improved dramatically. Upon reaching advance status, students start to show improvement in other subjects. |
If you want to:
 Develop SPEED, ACCURACY and FLUENCY with Math and Reading.
Improve CONCENTRATION
Boost CONFIDENCE and SELF ESTEEM
KUMON CAN HELP!
KUMON'S FORMULA FOR SUCCESS IS AS SIMPLE AS 1-2-3
1. FREE Diagnostic Test
Kumon will test your child free of charge and obligation before enrollment to determine the most appropriate starting point within the Kumon system. This "comfortable" starting point is an important feature of the Kumon Method because immediately, your child will be able to solve a large number of problems quickly and easily...which means he or she will gain self-confidence and the desire to advance from the very start.
2. Specialized Materials
The Kumon system emphasizes self-learning with a unique set of materials which your child completes on his or her own, supervised by a trained Kumon instructor. Math concepts within the system are sequentially organized, so they're easy to follow as they gradually increase in difficulty. The materials are designed to provide your child with the necessary practice of math skills, which promotes both speed and accuracy while building a true mastery of mathematical concepts.
3. Advancement at a Comfortable Pace
Kumon believes that children should advance in mathematics at their own pace and according to individual ability rather than age. With the Kumon Method, students practice and rework incorrect problems as many times as needed until a score of 100% is achieved. Mr. Toru Kumon, founder, explains the philosophy behind the methodology: "The joy of receiving 100% not only ensures subject knowledge but also gives the child the confidence and motivation to continue to the next study level."

Classroom Procedure
At the Kumon Center
All Kumon centers are run by trained Kumon Instructors. Kumon of Loggers Run center opens two afternoons a week from 2:00pm until7:00pm, Monday and Thursday, and student sstay in the center at a designated time for approximately 25 minutes. While they are at the center, they do the following:
-
HELLO! Students come in, get their files and submit their homework. -
5-10 sheets per day. Instructor decides the type and amount of work suitable for each student. Students do 5-10 work sheetsper day appropriate to their skills and abilities. While their work is being graded, students do some supplementary activities. -
100% always. Because students work on the materials that match their abilities, they are able to score 100% or very close to it. 100% gives them confidence. -
Corrections. Should there be any mistakes, students must correct them on their own until a score of 100% is achieved. Students learn from their mistakes. -
Goodbye. When the work is successfully completed, students receive praises and rewards from their Instructors. They pick up their homework and say goodbye.
At home:
Students do a little of Kumon work every day. Onnon-center days, they do a set of work at home each day. It is important to get into a good daily routine so that studying becomes a part of the day. Completed homework need not be checked by the parents. Parents give their children praises and compliments essential in developing their self-confidence.
Tuition includes:
ONE or TWO twenty to thirty minute classroom sessions per week.
All instruction materials.
