About our centre

Welcome to Kumon Lakefield! 

Established in 2025 and proudly owned by Shavanah Lingoomiah, Kumon Lakefield is committed to helping every child unlock their full potential. Whether your child is struggling with learning or is highly gifted, the Kumon Method is designed to cater to students of all ages and abilities, offering a personalised approach to math and English education.

About your Instructor

My name is Shavanah Lingoomiah, and I am the proud instructor of our Kumon Centre, Kumon Lakefield. I hold a BSc in Physiology and Microbiology and am currently pursuing a BA in Audiology. My passion lies in working with children and helping them grow in the most positive and empowering way. Through years of tutoring primary school children, I noticed how easily many of them became dependent on their tutors. That’s when Kumon truly inspired me. The Kumon method fosters independence and confidence, helping children believe in their abilities. I love how the Kumon programmes are tailored to each child’s individual needs, supporting students of all levels—from the youngest learners to the most advanced. It’s a transformative system, and I’m thrilled to bring it to my students!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Kumon is a self-learning programme with each student receiving regular support from their Instructor. The carefully developed worksheets teach students how to find the answer for themselves, whilst their Instructor offers guidance when necessary. The key role of each Kumon Instructor is to observe their students working, either in the centre or their online class, making sure that work is set at the right level and that they are developing at the right pace.

Both, and every child in between. This is because of our individualised approach to education, which always asks the question: "What is best for this individual child?" Following a diagnostic test, a study plan is set to develop the ability of the child and to progress them beyond the Kumon International Standard (an international approximation of their school level) regardless of their starting point. Kumon welcomes students with special educational needs, gifted and talented children, and all those who believe they can achieve more and fulfil their potential.

Kumon offers much more than tutoring and differs from traditional teaching in the classroom. Rather than preparing children for a particular test or assessment, Kumon empowers students to learn for themselves, through individualised instruction and carefully developed worksheets.

As well as developing key skills in maths and English, each Kumon student will work towards building their independent learning skills and confidence in their own abilities. This means that a Kumon student will not be dependent on – or limited by – the skills and knowledge of others.

As a global programme, Kumon does not follow a school curriculum, but rather is complementary to curricula across the world. The primary aim of the Kumon Method is to develop independent learning skills. These independent learning skills enhance the students’ performance right across the school curriculum. Kumon operates at exactly the right level for each student – regardless of their age – ensuring that work set extends and develops their skills, confidence and ability.
