How Kumon Helps To Build Strong Foundational Abilities From A Young Age

The objective of Kumon is to instil in students the right skills and mindset for self-learning. With Kumon’s individualised learning method, children reap the benefits of learning by their ability, not by age. This helps them learn at an optimum level and advance topics beyond their school grades.
Continuous Kumon study helps children improve focus and concentration, cultivate confidence, develop time management skills and become self-motivated, independent problem solvers.
What Makes Kumon So Different From
Other Enrichment Programmes?
Self-Learning Method
Kumon focuses on helping students develop the ability to study and problem solve independently without always asking for the answer. Children will build resilience and use this skill to learn independently at home so that they will not give up easily when solving challenging questions.
Learn Progressively In Small Steps
Our worksheets enable your child to learn and progress optimally in small steps at the pace perfect for him/her before tackling advanced topics and concepts beyond his/her school grade.
Impart Key Life Skills
We do not teach students in a uniform manner but guide them to understand the questions and solve problems independently. Through this, they will develop essential life skills such as determination, independence, confidence and a passion for learning to excel and overcome obstacles in school and beyond.

How Does Kumon Help Your Child to Learn Independently At Home?
Like in-centre classes, the purpose of our remote learning classes is to observe students while they work and only give guidance and instruction when needed. The camera will most often focus on the students’ worksheets, and our instructors will observe how students complete their assigned work before providing specific guidance.
The goal of the Kumon Method is to develop independent learners who can take charge of their study routines and problem-solve homework by themselves through daily practice, learning from their mistakes and developing the “never give up” mentality to do so.
Therefore, the values of independent learning, self-discipline, time management and self-confidence in solving problems that Kumon strives to instil are brought into focus and displayed while doing remote learning, both for school and Kumon.
How Does Your Child Benefit from Kumon?
Achieve Academic
Excellence
At the heart of the Kumon Method is self-learning: we encourage students to read the constantly evolving small-step worksheets, think, and do the exercises independently. We do not spoon-feed students problem-solving methods. Instead, we focus on guiding students to complete exercises on their own so that they enjoy a sense of achievement, are able to master new material independently and constantly push themselves to improve continually.
Develop Strong Foundational Skills
Our focus on numeracy and linguistics ensures students develop a solid foundation to achieve excellence in both Primary and Secondary School. We identify, build and enhance the key skills that students need to become fluent readers and junior Mathematicians, giving them a core of confidence and a lifetime of good study habits that they can draw on as they advance in levels.
Develop A Passion For Learning
Beyond academic success, a natural outcome of the Kumon Method is a solid base for the steep learning curves that come with life. By allowing them to make the choices that support their learning, strengths, and success, your child will develop the confidence to think, do and learn more. This way, he/she develops positive learning and a can-do attitude, turning learning into pleasure and joy.
Our Programmes
Each Kumon student’s learning journey is individually determined by his/her ability. From pre-school to primary school and beyond, the Kumon worksheets will help your child advance incrementally and significantly beyond his/her school grade.
Maths Programme
Maths requires an accumulation of knowledge through practice. While enhancing their calculation skills, students also cultivate their mathematical analysis and logical thinking abilities, which will be indispensable in their lives, now and in the future. This sets the groundwork for solving the problems they will face in life.
Develop mental calculation and reasoning skills
Improve students’ problem-solving abilities
Prepare students for advanced mathematics
Language Programmes
Besides improving students’ reading comprehension skills, we aim to nurture an interest in reading – widely and confidently. This leads them to expand their minds, igniting their curiosity to read beyond the lines, think critically, make connections and come to their conclusions – the key to expanding their knowledge and understanding of the world.
Develop reading skills and reading habits
Improve reading comprehension and critical reading skills
Enrich and expand students’ vocabulary
