About this centre

In-Centre Class available KUMON CONNECT available

The Kumon maths and English Study Programmes offer what traditional tuition gives to your child and more. Kumon goes one step further by helping each child develop self-learning skills, enabling them to tackle challenging work without reliance on a teacher. Our aim is to help any child of any ability to progress and develop a curiosity and love for learning.

Your child will be assessed to enable their Instructor to set work at just the right level for them, enabling them to build confidence in their abilities and progress their maths and English skills in small, manageable steps through daily study. They will visit their local study centre up to twice a week. This allows the Instructor to tailor and adapt each child’s study plan to their abilities, through observing their progress and fluency at each level. Our study programmes are individualised to each child to help them establish strong learning foundations and a positive learning experience, to build skills and confidence for their future.

About the Instructor

My name is Tom Didsbury. I opened the Kumon Bedford North Study Centre in September 2021. I have always been very passionate about education and strongly believe that every child should be given the opportunity to fulfil their true potential. My background is in teaching and education, obtaining a PGCE from Bedford University and I have been a Primary School Teacher across various year groups for over eight years.

What attracted me to Kumon was their commitment to individualised study with strong emphasis in giving each child the tools they will need to achieve for themselves. The sense of achievement and accomplishment a child feels at this stage makes me feel very proud and it is at this stage that many of my parents begin to realise that a whole new world of academic opportunities await their children. But most rewarding is witnessing my students develop their vital study and life skills as confident, independent and enthusiastic self-learners that will help them succeed in school, university and working life.

I will endeavour to help your child improve his or her concentration, study skills, mastery of a subject, and unlock their true potential.

Popular Questions

Kumon is a self-learning programme with each student receiving regular support from their Instructor. The carefully developed worksheets teach students how to find the answer for themselves, whilst their Instructor offers guidance when necessary. The key role of each Kumon Instructor is to observe their students working, either in the centre or their online class, making sure that work is set at the right level and that they are developing at the right pace.

Students can start learning with Kumon from age two upwards. We currently have students as young as two years old studying with us, ranging all the way up to those about to go to university; Kumon helps children of any age and any ability. The sooner children begin, the earlier they can start developing skills to gain the greatest cumulative benefit; as soon as you feel your family is ready to make the commitment to long-term study, Kumon will be ready to help you achieve your goal.

Kumon offers much more than tutoring and differs from traditional teaching in the classroom. Rather than preparing children for a particular test or assessment, Kumon empowers students to learn for themselves, through individualised instruction and carefully developed worksheets.

As well as developing key skills in maths and English, each Kumon student will work towards building their independent learning skills and confidence in their own abilities. This means that a Kumon student will not be dependent on – or limited by – the skills and knowledge of others.

As a global programme, Kumon does not follow a school curriculum, but rather is complementary to curricula across the world. The primary aim of the Kumon Method is to develop independent learning skills. These independent learning skills enhance the students’ performance right across the school curriculum. Kumon operates at exactly the right level for each student – regardless of their age – ensuring that work set extends and develops their skills, confidence and ability.
