About Kumon UK
Written by the company
Kumon offers individualised maths and English study programmes, designed to help children of all ages and abilities fulfil their potential.
With more than 600 study centres across the UK and Ireland, Kumon is the largest provider of Maths and English supplementary education for children, delivering proven academic success where children learn valuable study skills and improve their confidence, focus and motivation.
Kumon aims to give students the tools they need to enjoy learning and thrive academically. Kumon-trained Instructors guide their students through work that is set at just the right level for them, keeping them engaged and making progress. By studying little and often through daily worksheets and regular class sessions (online and/or in the centre), students steadily increase their ability and fluency, building their skills in small, manageable steps. Parents can choose either the traditional paper and pencil format or digital, with KUMON CONNECT on their tablet and stylus.
Incorporating technology into our tried and tested materials enables Kumon to provide even more support to children, so while they develop the skills to study independently, their Instructor will be at their side between classes, offering individual guidance, marking, and carefully adjusting their individual study plan as they progress.
We’re always thrilled to hear when parents have come to Kumon after a recommendation from a friend or family member

- Take advantage of Kumon’s national Refer a Friend Scheme today!
- Throughout the history of the Kumon programme, from its origins in Japan in the 1950s, then internationally in the 1970s and 80s, the demand has often been organic and very much from word-of-mouth recommendations from parents, who saw and had experienced the transformative effects the study methods had on their children’s abilities.
- We’re always thrilled to hear when parents have come to Kumon after a recommendation from a friend or family member. Whether that’s a recommendation for the Kumon study method itself, or the experience at a particular Kumon centre, a personal referral has certainly contributed to Kumon’s 600 UK and Ireland study centres being consistently recognised as the largest and best provider of supplementary education in the UK and Ireland.
- We're excited to be able to introduce the Kumon national Refer a Friend Scheme where you can now gift your friends and family, who are interested in studying with Kumon, with a Free Registration! Not only that, but we’ll give you a £20/€20 reward for each recommended family that goes on to enrol with a participating Kumon centre, meaning that we get the opportunity to thank you for all your recommendations too!

Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear that your son's confidence in maths has grown and that it has become one of his favourite subjects. His progress reflects his own hard work, supported by your encouragement and the careful guidance of his Kumon Instructor. We wish him every success as he continues to develop his skills and confidence.
The study level is excellent
The study level is excellent, but it needs extra days and a change in the intermediate level of mathematics to levels nine and ten.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
We're pleased to hear that you feel the study level is excellent. We also appreciate your suggestions regarding additional study days and the intermediate mathematics levels. Feedback from students and families is always valuable and helps us understand how the programme is experienced.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we wish you continued success with your Kumon journey.
My child attended Kumon for six months
My child attended Kumon for six months. While it may work very well for some children, it wasn't the right fit for my child's learning style. The repetitive nature of the worksheets became boring for him over time, and he eventually started to dislike the work. That said, the instructors were wonderful. They were patient, supportive, and encouraging, and my child genuinely enjoyed attending the centre because of them. The staff did their best to motivate him and create a positive environment.
Unfortunately, despite the support from the instructors, my child did not make the progress we had hoped for during the six months he attended. I believe this was more a reflection of the learning method not matching his individual needs rather than any issue with the staff or centre itself.

We're pleased to hear that your child enjoyed attending the centre and that the Instructors made such a positive impression. Creating a supportive, encouraging environment where every child feels welcomed is something we value greatly, and we're grateful that you recognised the dedication of the team.
We're sorry to hear that your child did not make the progress you had hoped for during their time with Kumon. Every child's learning journey is different, and progress can vary depending on a range of factors. We appreciate you sharing your experience and wish your child every success in their future learning.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your child has had a negative experience.
At Kumon, our aim is to help children develop confidence, independence and a positive attitude towards learning through work that is set at their individual level. The amount of study and homework should be tailored to each child's needs and circumstances, and children should feel challenged but comfortable as they progress.
We are concerned to hear that your child has been upset and would encourage you to speak directly with your local Instructor so they can better understand your concerns and review your child's study plan. Open communication between parents and Instructors is an important part of ensuring that each child receives the right support.
We appreciate your feedback and wish your child every success in their future learning.
Wasn’t for us
Wasn’t for us. We had good results in English but Maths we were already struggling and the emphasis on time and repetition of the same boring simple worksheets until it was completed in under 10 minutes was unrealistic and exhausting for all involved. I now have a disengaged daughter and we are going to try something new.

Thank you for sharing your experience.
We are pleased to hear that your daughter made good progress in English, but we are sorry to learn that the Maths programme did not feel like the right fit for her.
Kumon's approach uses repetition and the development of fluency to help students build strong foundations and confidence in their learning. However, we recognise that every child learns differently, and what works well for one student may not suit another.
It is disappointing to hear that your daughter became disengaged, as our aim is always to help children develop confidence and enjoyment in learning. We appreciate your feedback and wish your daughter every success as she explores new learning opportunities that better meet her needs.

I would of love more communication about were my child is at especially that she has additional needs. I feel that the sources are provided which is great, but you as a parent is doing all the work. I have no information on how she is getting on class, for instance has she improved, totally clueless bar what i see at home.

Thank you for your comment. Regular observation, assessment and discussion with parents help build a clear picture of how a child is progressing, the skills they are developing, and the areas they are working to improve. We are sorry to hear that you have felt unclear about your child's progress.
We would encourage you to speak directly with your Instructor to discuss your concerns and explore ways to establish more regular updates. By working together, parents and Instructors can ensure that each child receives the support they need to succeed and thrive in their learning.

The think i like at least my child is involved in study everyday. The think i don't like it more like memorization than learning a real knowledge. Children do not get fun while learning.

Kumon is a best place to help children learn fast and consistent
One of the best places to keep the practice going for children. All my three children are part of this exceptional learning process. My children have always loved maths and english, thanks to Kumon . Maths which is a daunting subject to many becomes easy because they practice it every day. My youngest daughter who had S&L problems have become an exceptional reader and her teacher praises her for her exceptional spelling and reading skills. Our experience is very good and I can't thank them enough.

We're very sorry to hear this. I'm sure we could have done better. Have you had the opportunity to call to speak to the Instructor outside of class hours? This is usually the best time to schedule some time to discuss your child's progress.

Incredible results at the Kumon Canada centre
Incredible results at the Kumon Canada Water center! My eldest is now 3 years ahead of the school curriculum thanks to Snezhana’s brilliant tutoring. Even my youngest, who struggled with phonics and number sequencing in Reception, was able to catch up and excel with their support. If your child is struggling or needs a boost, this is the place to go. Worth every penny!
