Focusing on the vital subjects of maths and English, we can help your child to develop their learning skills and exceed expectations with our worksheet and study centre-based programmes. At Kumon, we are passionate about your child's development. Whatever their age or ability, our programmes will help your child : ● master maths and English skills ● develop excellent concentration and study habits ● build lasting confidence and self-belief ● improve their all-round academic achievement Kumon offers far more than private tuition. Our aims are not just to prepare children for passing an exam or catching up with schoolwork. We aim to nurture confident, independent learners – children who will be prepared to meet challenges in school and beyond.
What can Kumon do for my child? Kumon's unique programmes complement the school curriculum and provide far more than just maths or English tuition. They cater for your child's individual needs, allowing them to study at a rate that is just right for them and eventually to take responsibility for their own learning. Our exceptional approach means Kumon study gives your child : ● a solid foundation for academic success ● confidence to take on new challenges ● options in school and life that they may not otherwise have had ● strength of character to overcome obstacles With these benefits and Kumon's focus on advanced learning, your child can develop beyond your current expectations.
How does the programme work? Your child will be assessed to determine the right level for them to start on the Kumon programme. They will attend the centre once or twice a week, usually for between 20 – 40 minutes. They will get feedback on their progress and will also have daily worksheets to complete at home. The centre runs twice a week at Altnaveigh House in Newry. Tuesday 3.30 p.m. - 5.30 p.m. and Saturday 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. The work is individually set at a pace that is suited to each student's ability and they are carefully monitored to ensure the work is right for them at all times. If necessary, a level can be repeated until it is mastered before moving on to the next. Kumon works on long-term goals and targets with incentives, motivation and praise to help your child attain their potential.
