Kumon of Morganville

The Kumon Method of learning was developed over 50 years ago in Japan by Toru Kumon, a high school Maths teacher whose son was struggling with Grade 2 Maths. Mr Kumon was convinced that he could help his son improve his Maths by introducing him to the skills one step at a time. With that in mind, Toru Kumon created a series of worksheets for his son to do after school and by Grade 6 his son was able to solve integral and differential calculus problems. He achieved this by spending only 30 minutes a day completing his father’s worksheets.

Kumon is not designed to improve Maths and English skills as an end in itself; it is an educational method which uses Maths and English skills to develop the potential of each child.The aim of Kumon is to unleash each child's potential to love learning, by improving confidence and self-esteem, and encouraging self-discipline and a good daily study habit. There is no failing in Kumon, because each child works at his or her own carefully monitored level.

Toru Kumon: "Every Child An Achiever"

All children from preschoolers to teenagers can benefit from learning with the Kumon Method. Kumon will help students improve or extend numeracy and literacy skills. This includes gifted children and those with learning difficulties. Studying Kumon on a daily basis also has many other benefits.


Confidence & Self-Esteem

Kumon students always study at the level appropriate to their ability. As they progress with their studies, their self-esteem and confidence grows. With increased confidence comes the willingness to tackle problems, not just in Maths and English but also in other subjects at school.


Concentration

Kumon students are asked to focus on their work for 10 to 30 minutes each day. This combination of daily study and carefully pitched work gradually helps to increase concentration, which is essential for all studies.


Self-Study Skills

In the Kumon Programme, each worksheet is slightly more difficult than the one before it. This format encourages students to solve problems for themselves. Independence and self-discipline are encouraged by the instructors. This eventually leads to a love of learning and encourages independent learning.
