Tia advances ahead in maths and English

Despite being in Year 3 primary school, seven year old Tia can solve maths and English problems that Year 6 students work through.

Tia developed her advanced abilities through study of the Kumon Maths and English programmes since 2015. Tia studies at Kumon Pakuranga Education Centre.

Kumon is a personalised after-school tuition programmes which allow students to study at their own pace. This means advanced students, like Tia, can go ahead to study content that is above their school grade. Those who may be falling behind can go back to practise and revise.

Tia says Kumon has helped her greatly in school.

“I am more confident and am able to help other kids in my class with their learning”, Tia says. “I find it easy to do my work in school. I am able to learn things quickly.”

Tia aspires to become a doctor when she grows up.

Tia’s parents say that Kumon helped her daughter to develop skills that will benefit her throughout school and beyond.

“Kumon has helped Tia develop the habit of studying on a daily basis and she has become more confident”, they say.

“Kumon helps kids with their learning and it helps in overall child development.”

It takes a village: NIC 2019

On Saturday, June 8, Kumon Australia and New Zealand’s Instructors will travel to Brisbane, Australia, for the 2019 National Instructors’ Conference.

At Kumon, we believe it takes a village to raise a child.

As such, we run this annual event to create a platform where all our 330 Kumon Instructors can meet, network and learn from one another.

Our Kumon Instructors will also hear from a range of speakers. One of whom is Maya Thiagarajan, a former school teacher, education consultant, and author of Beyond The Tiger Mom: East-West Parenting for the Global Age.

In her presentation, Maya will discuss families’ varying cultural attitudes towards education.

From their learnings, our Kumon Instructors will collectively contribute even more to children’s education within their respective Kumon Education Centres.
