About this centre

KUMON CONNECT available

The centre has been serving the local community since 2005. Students meet in the main hall of All Saints Church Hall, which is towards the rear of the building, providing a quiet study area for students to work at a pace that is tailored to their individual needs.

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 local Instructor will set work for your child at just the right level, 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 for sessions with their Instructor. 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.

Did you know, you can now study Kumon using digital worksheets? This study centre is proud to offer KUMON CONNECT. Click here to find out more.

 

About the Instructor

My name is Csilla Buck and I am the Instructor at the Douglas, Isle of Man Study Centre. I come from Hungary and have been living in the British Isles for nearly two decades. I moved to the Isle of Man in July 2000. My background is in computer programming, which I loved as it involved solving logical problems. My hobbies are reading, badminton, running, family football and studying.

I have a lot of enthusiasm for mathematics, and it makes me sad that so many people dislike it. Maths is one of those subjects where you need to learn the basics and then build on them. Without the basics you can't learn higher-level maths. This is why I love Kumon. From the moment I heard about it, I wanted to be an Instructor. I want to make a difference in children's lives; I want them to like maths.

Since I started the centre, I have already seen Kumon work. Children gain confidence and become happier at school. Maths may even become their favourite subject! I also feel passionate about languages and their correct usage. I have seen children gain confidence in reading and writing with the Kumon English programme and develop a desire to read books in their spare time.

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.
