Meet the Instructor

Why I became a Kumon Instructor

I saw an advert for Kumon when my daughter was six and thought that it would be good for her. She had attended a Montessori nursery school and I was impressed with the self learning aspect of the programme. I was fortunate that she is an able child, but was keen that she should continue to fulfil her potential at school – and it looked as if Kumon would fit the bill. There were no local classes at the time, so I opened one, my daughter being my first student. It worked well for her –she managed to obtain a scholarship to a local independent school – and was well able to keep up with the other students, many of whom had attended local prep schools. She has since gone on to study maths at Oxford University.

 

I have run the centre since March 1993 and am impressed with the way that Kumon can help students of all abilities – it is great to see the shy, struggling student become so much more confident after a few months of Kumon study.
