About our centre

The Kumon Norwich Study Centre was established in 1999 and has a strong history of developing students of all ages and abilities into independent, advanced learners through the Kumon Method of Learning.

Our youngest student joined us at just three years old, while our most advanced student began independently learning calculus at the age of 13. Kumon Gorleston and Kumon Wymondham are our sister centres, launched in February 2025 and September 2026 respectively. Together, the three centres share the same team, philosophy and passion for learning.

Our Instructors – Sam, Sara and Jamie – are experienced and dedicated educators. Unlike traditional tuition providers, we do not simply ‘teach’; we nurture students to become independent, confident and empowered learners who are comfortable tackling unfamiliar work.

Through consistent daily practice, our students take ownership of their learning, progressing one small step at a time. They develop not only knowledge and academic ability, but also perseverance, confidence and resilience.

Johan, a Kumon Norwich student for eight years, describes his experience:

“Kumon taught me that you can achieve anything with hard work and consistency. That by just showing up and trying, you’re already halfway there. With enough perseverance, there is no dream too big, and no dream too small.”

If your child could be our next “dreamer”, we would love to meet you. Book an initial assessment and, from there, your child will follow an individualised study programme designed to provide work at just the right level.

Students complete daily worksheets and attend the Study Centre once a week. Because Kumon work is set according to ability rather than age, your child can revisit topics they find challenging or progress far beyond school material – without restriction.

We look forward to meeting you and helping your child discover what they are capable of.

Sam Rudgley

About your Instructor

My name is Sam Rudgley, and I am the Instructor leading the Kumon Norwich, Gorleston and Wymondham Study Centres.

My Kumon journey began over ten years ago, when I joined Kumon Headquarters in London in January 2015 as an Area Manager. In this role, I supported 25 Study Centres across North London and the East of England, working closely with Instructors and their students. It was only a matter of time before I decided to run a Study Centre of my own!

Before joining Kumon, my professional life was dedicated to teaching and developing others. I am a qualified secondary-school English teacher, having earned both a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree in the Literary Arts. I also spent five years working in the publishing and language-services sector, where, as a manager, my focus was always on recognising and developing the potential of each member of my team.

I draw on all of this experience in my work as a Kumon Instructor, and I make sure that this ethos remains at the heart of all three of our Study Centres. Every child is unique, and every child’s needs are different. As a result, each student’s journey through the Kumon programmes will be different too.

It is my responsibility, and my joy, to work with you and your child to find the right path towards academic success, helping them develop not only their skills and confidence, but also the independence they need to become successful lifelong learners.

The Kumon Norwich, Gorleston and Wymondham Study Centres are fortunate to share an amazing team of leaders. Sara Cordy and Jamie Allin are my fellow Instructors, and together we work closely to support, encourage and celebrate every one of our students across the region. 

Frequently Asked Questions

Both, and every child in between. This is because of our individualised approach to education, which always asks the question: "What is best for this individual child?" Following a diagnostic test, a study plan is set to develop the ability of the child and to progress them beyond the Kumon International Standard (an international approximation of their school level) regardless of their starting point. Kumon welcomes students with special educational needs, gifted and talented children, and all those who believe they can achieve more and fulfil their potential.

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.

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.
