About this centre

In-Centre Class available KUMON CONNECT available Online Class available

The Kumon Livingston Study Centre is based at the Beveridge Square in central Livingston. The Kumon Maths and English Programmes pursue the potential of each child, developing their ability, confidence and nurturing their independence.

Our dedicated team of staff welcome students of all ages and abilities from Livingston and surrounding areas. Students attend the centre regularly and your class day/arrival time will be arranged at your initial assessment meeting

The centre fosters a positive, encouraging atmosphere, and focuses on developing excellent study skills as an integral part of the Kumon programmes. The centre also has a great deal of experience of working with pre-school children.

Through daily study, both at the study centre and independently at home, Kumon goes further than traditional methods of tuition by ensuring students maintain a level of development every day.

Following a free assessment your child will begin on the programmes at an individually set starting point, laying a solid foundation for effective learning. Their progress through the programmes will be tailored to their individual needs, ensuring your child continues to grow and achieve.

About the Instructor

LIvingston - Emma Nicol
My name is Emma Nicol and I have the privilege of running the Kumon Livingston Study Centre. I have a First Class MA Degree in Primary Education and previously worked as a Primary Teacher for a number of years. I first encountered Kumon as a student and experienced the benefits of the daily study programme first hand. Prior to becoming a Kumon Instructor, I had nine years of experience of working at Kumon as a Senior Assistant and later as the Assistant Manager.

As a teacher, I know the importance of individualised learning. However, I also know that facilitating this in school can be challenging and that, as a result, some students feel left behind and others feel held back when they are ready to advance. Individualisation is a key principle of the Kumon Method and means that students are always working at the ‘just right’ level for them and progressing at a pace which is tailored to their needs. This makes it an excellent solution for those who need some extra practise to develop their English and maths skills, as well as those who are ready for a challenge and wish to encounter new material beyond their school grade level. We are so fortunate to work with students of all ages and abilities to help them to achieve their full potential.

As well as developing strong maths and English skills, we also aim to instil good study habits alongside confidence and a passion for learning. We regularly recognise students’ achievements and make sure that every child leaves class feeling like they have accomplished something new. I also like to keep in regular contact with parents, providing verbal feedback after each class to let you know what was worked on and how you can support at home.

I would love to welcome you and your child to the centre for a free assessment and to find out more about how we can support your child in their learning journey. Please get in touch if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting you soon!

Our pre school daughter has been working with Emma at Kumon Livingston for the past 8 months. The weekly voice messages from Emma have been really helpful in updating us on her progress and guide us to assist our daughter with the workbooks. Emma has also been very supportive with practical advice for improving motivation. I feel Emma has really got to know our daughter and has provided truly individualised student feedback and support. Thank you.

When I told my sons (P6 and P7) that I would be enrolling them in Kumon, they were not very excited about the prospect. That changed when they met Emma in the introduction session who made them feel very welcome and comfortable. They have now been going for a few months and I notice positive difference. First, repetition in doing worksheets and subsequent marking is helping them to notice patterns in their mistakes and motivates them to do better. Second, periodic tests and they receiving certificates boosts their confidence. They also get encouragement from Emma that helps. Third, I receive voice messages from Emma that I find very helpful as a parent to know what areas they are doing well and where they need guidance and support. Overall I feel it was a good decision and I wish I had come to know about Kumon earlier.

My daughters have been attending Kumon English and Maths classes for 6 months and I can clearly see the difference Kumon has made. Both of my daughters have grown in confidence and enjoy doing their homework regularly and have developed a habit of reading books. Emma has been brilliant in planning the homework and her regular and detailed feedback has made it easier to focus on mistakes and improve efficiency and understanding of important concepts for both of my daughters. I am very happy with the progress my daughters have made in just over 6 months, I would highly recommend Kumon.

My 9yr old autistic son is not learning in mainstream, and still at a 5yr old level. I started him in kumon 4 weeks ago and hes taken to it so well. Emma has been excellent in leaving updates and advice on voicemail. This has been very reassuring to me, and Tyler enjoys attending the centre and is getting used to doing the daily booklets

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.
