About this centre

KUMON CONNECT available

Established in 2001, the centre has a long track record of supporting and helping children to develop skills in preparation for taking exams, and many at the centre have gone on to gain places at Colyton and Torquay Grammar Schools, or to attain top grades in their GCSE and A Level exams.

Kumon is suitable for all ages and abilities and students at the centre currently range from four years and upwards, including some being taught at home. The unique Kumon Maths and English Programmes pursue the potential of each child by developing confident, independent learners through individualised, advanced study. The centre is also experienced in providing effective help for children who may be struggling at school or who may have learning difficulties.

Through daily study, both at the study centre and independently at home, Kumon goes further than traditional methods of tuition by ensuring students maintain a level of development every day.

The classes are held on the upper floor of the grand Regency Grade II listed Dawlish Manor House.

Besides achieving excellent academic results, the Dawlish Study Centre has gained a highly esteemed reputation for its orderly, friendly and informal atmosphere, which both children and parents enjoy.

About the Instructor

Joining the Kumon organisation was a natural progression for me, having previously been a director of a consultancy specialising in education and prior to that, head of Training and Development for Price Waterhouse Management Consultancy Services (covering UK, Europe and Africa) for a period of ten years. During this time, I designed and delivered many different educational programmes at home and overseas on behalf of government and private sector organisations. I have also taught in several primary schools in the Dawlish locality as a peripatetic teacher.

I find helping children to reach their goals and potential through means of the Kumon programmes and hearing about their achievements immensely rewarding.

It is especially rewarding when I am able to help and encourage those children to make sound progress for whom maths and English do not come naturally or easily, and to see the pride and delight this brings their parents.

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.
