"I believe Kumon is the reason why my maths has improved, and without it I wouldn't have achieved an A in my GCSE maths and wouldn't have even attempted A-level!"
Visits to class are enjoyable and confidence boosting, with students receiving positive feedback from Jasvir the Instructor, and his excellent team of assistants –Treesa and Jasdeep.
Children are always welcomed into the class by the staff and are guided through the class routine until it is familiar to them and they are able to organise themselves without help. Independence and self-confidence develop class by class as students' self-esteem increases and they begin to take responsibility for their own learning.
Completed homework is exchanged for new work and while class work is being completed records are updated and changes made to individual programmes of study, if required. In class, students will be working on a variety of topics depending on their position within their individual programme. These include working on the next part of their course, learning new skills or completing an end-of-level assessment. Class work is supervised by the Instructor who gives individual guidance to students, as required.
While work is being marked students can complete additional activities to further develop their understanding of their subject. As soon as work has been marked students correct any errors so that that can complete and understand each piece of work to a 100% on a daily basis. They then see the Instructor to discuss their work and he will provide Feedback on their performance and guidance on their way forward.
Finally, they collect their reward stickers before leaving with their homework assignments. This is just one of the ways in which students are encouraged to complete their work every day. Whatever the activity, the aim of the class visit is to encourage students to aim high and to build self-confidence and excellent study skills that will equip them for life.
