Unique Teaching Methods for Outstanding Results
Child-oriented Education The Kumon Method is child-oriented, because it is based on each child's individual learning ability rather than his or her age or school grade. In the world of Kumon, each individual student progressively achieves his or her full potential by learning in an environment free of academic pressure.
Self-learning Ability Unlike traditional learning, students no longer acquire knowledge passively. Rather, they come to understand each subject in a dynamic and interactive process, thus achieving self-learning. The self-learning method not only fosters self-learning ability, it also nurtures motivation to study and passion for learning.
The Most Suitable Starting Point Students have to sit a Diagnostic Test before joining Kumon so that our Instructors can decide the best starting point for them - a point where they can start learning with ease and without stress
Clear Learning Goals Learning goals and progress chart for each individual child are pre-scheduled by the instructors, and are amended whenever necessary, matching with the child's needs and ability for the best learning effect.
Kumon Worksheet Development The Kumon worksheets are specially designed by international experienced educational specialists. The worksheets are designed for different levels from kindergarten to university, from elementary to advanced, with a different focus at different levels. The worksheets are suitable for home study. They aim to improve the learning abilities of students through the practice of independent study, thus enhancing their self-learning abilities.
Significant benefits of the Kumon Method
Self-motivated Learning Students are required to visit their Kumon Centre on a weekly basis to study class work. Worksheets are also distributed to students to study at home. Students are encouraged to cultivate the habit of continuous learning, self-initiation and self-discipline.
Full Satisfaction and confidence from 100 marks In Kumon, students never fail and our instructors would encourage them to find and correct the mistakes made by themselves. Students would then be given full marks and this will motivate them to achieve a higher progress.
Concentration and Speed Enhancement Each worksheet level has a standard completion time, which students have to record their time when working on the worksheets. All Kumon worksheets are designed to improve students' learning abilities by stimulating their efficiency, thus enhancing their concentration and timing concept, which also benefit their daily life.
Analysis and Logical Thinking Advancement The specifically designed Kumon learning method can enable students to reinforce their foundation skills in listening, oral, reading, writing and calculation. With these skills, they do not only improve their Mathematics, English and Chinese results easily, but also their analysis and logical thinking. Thus, they can develop flexible and strong thinking abilities, which can facilitate their adaptation to other academic subjects.
Surpassing Academic Targets Kumon believes every student has unique abilities and potential, which should not be restricted by the general school grades. Under a flexible and unlimited learning system, students can surpass their academic targets without difficulty and pressure.
