We first met Diya in 2017 when she was seven and appeared in our Kumon advertising. In the past four years, Diya has remained focused on her Kumon and has just completed the Kumon English Programme! Diya’s parents are in no doubt that her excellent relationship with Kumon Instructor, Eirini, has been instrumental to her success so far.

How does it feel to be an Instructor and develop a child through to programme completion?  We spoke with Diya’s Instructor, Eirini Grammatikopoulou, from the Kumon Chelmsford North Study Centre to find out what it’s like to work with the students that she has. 

Living in a time of Covid-19 has prompted new conversations and new perspectives on what’s actually important to us. For many, this time of reflection has led to a reconsideration of career choices. Perhaps the thought of returning to the corporate ‘rat race’ is less than appealing, or maybe the dream of starting a business now feels more achievable. As we gradually emerge from lockdown, many of us are taking the opportunity to explore the idea of a refreshing new start.

At Kumon, every child’s journey begins with a no-obligation, free initial assessment. This is a great opportunity for you to meet your Instructor, discover where your child is placed in their current learning and ability, and find out more about Kumon study. Have you ever wondered how a Kumon Instructor assesses your child? Here, we take you through what to expect at your Kumon initial assessment, step-by-step.

There are a number of benefits to learning a foreign language, and learning while young can have benefits in other ways.

Every parent wants the best for their child at school; to be happy, to grow, and to be nurtured to achieve their full potential. So naturally, “Will Kumon help my child at school?” is often one of the first questions that many new parents ask. And one that Kumon can now confidently answer.
