Instructors’ Quotes

“The Kumon worksheets were designed to progress in difficulty through small steps which keep students learning one level at a time. Eventually, the process helps students to improve their skills. They can maximise their potential while learning through the examples provided. Many young children are studying advanced material in Kumon. This not only develops their academic ability, but also helps students to make strong progress in terms of their independence, resilience, and enthusiasm for learning. All are key attributes that will help Kumon students to thrive in the future.”

“I understand that squeezing Kumon in with school, all within the confines of home, may be challenging for children and their parents. But children are using their time well to keep learning. In fact, many of my students are actually asking for more worksheets as they have completed their homework ahead of schedule. They are also responding well to pre-arranged video call sessions. I see this is as my students showing a great deal of resilience through the pandemic. This shows to me that it is always possible to bring out the best in every child, in any situation.”

“Some days, Kumon will feel super easy for your child. Other days, students feel that Kumon is too challenging and even impossible, but they learn strategies for overcoming these difficulties. Through the Kumon journey, our students develop resilience. We are committed to supporting your child to embrace the challenges in the worksheets they find difficult, and to never to give up when it gets tough. When Kumon students make mistakes, we figure out why they made the mistake, correct our mistakes and learn from them.”

“The Kumon Method provides students a learning journey with lots of ups and downs. One of the skill sets taught in Kumon Method is resilience, having the ability to overcome challenges encountered from the worksheet and to keep on going. Life provides lots of opportunities and challenges and it is natural that we will face failures. Most importantly we should not be discouraged and should persevere on and overcome them. We will never know unless we try!”
