"It is highly rewarding to be a part of young people's success and to hear reports from school of how they are advancing and often outperforming their peers."
Kumon offers maths and English Free Trial for limited period
11/08/2010
Develop your child's confidence and independent learning skills with Kumon this autumn
Kumon, one of the leading providers of after-school maths and English programmes, is running a two week free trial between August 21 and October 20.
This is an opportunity to experience Kumon's unique method of instruction, which is tailored to the individual needs of each child, at your local study centre. Parents will also gain an insight into how the programmes develop students' independent study skills in order to enhance their academic progress and build confidence.
The offer applies to English and/or maths and is open to families who are new to Kumon, siblings of current students and those already on the programme who are considering a second subject. On completion of the Free Trial the family can choose to keep their child enrolled in Kumon or if they discontinue, no charge is made. The first two weeks will be free of charge, but to experience the lasting benefits of the programme each child will need to make a long term commitment. Should they decide to continue, registration and monthly subject fees are payable from the 15th day of study.
Alyson Smith mother of Kumon students, Leanne and Olivia says:
"Kumon has become an integral part of our lives and had a positive, lasting effect on the girls. We have really seen their academic and personal skills develop since starting their Kumon study. Their confidence has also grown and they aren't afraid to work hard; now they persevere with exercises until the task is completed. As we all know, this is a key skill in adulthood too and one that will help them to lead successful and fulfilling lives."
The Kumon method of learning was developed in 1954 by Toru Kumon, both a parent and gifted teacher from Japan. Like any parent, Toru wanted the best education for his son and began devising a teaching method using worksheets in the core subject of maths. Soon word spread of his successful method and now, in 2010, there are over 4 million children studying Kumon worldwide.
Approximately 63,000 now attend more than 600 study centres across the UK and Ireland.To sign up for the Free Trial please contact the Instructor at your local centre.
