Kumon History
In 1958, our founder, Mr. Toru Kumon established Kumon Institute of Mathematics (KIM) in Japan. Being a high-school Mathematics teacher, he discovered that his son was losing interest in Mathematics and falling behind class. Therefore, he designed a series of worksheets to help his son to overcome these difficulties. After revision, the method is established and his son was able to solve integral calculus when he was just in primary six.
Through continuous revision and improvement, Kumon is now helping more than four million students in over 40 countries around the world.
Apart from Mathematics, the Kumon method has been adopted in regional languages learning, such as Japanese, English and Chinese.
Hong Kong Kumon Educational Centre was established in 1988. Apart from Mathematics, we have also provide Kumon English and Kumon Chinese. We work with the parents and seek for the boundless potential of our children.
Mr. Toru Kumon said, "Every child has his or her gifts. If we can provide proper cultivation and instruction, we can release his potential boundlessly. As education practitioners, we should encourage children to enjoy and learn; but not force them to learn."
