About your Instructor
I hold a B.Com degree and have worked in the accounting field for many years. Working with numbers has given me a deep and abiding love for mathematics, even though as a child I was one of those students who was ‘left behind’ by the school system.
My experience as a Kumon assistant cemented my desire to help children. My personal belief in leaving no child behind was perfectly aligned with Kumon’s stated purpose of developing the potential of every child.
In the centre, I watched as children who were struggling with maths and/or English when they started the programme, who were shy and uncertain of themselves, changed before my very eyes into confident learners with a budding desire to know more.
I try to stimulate learning and curiosity in my students as much as possible. Children are all scientists at heart. They observe, they question and they experiment. These are the tools they use to become academically astute, and I believe they are also the tools that lead them to fulfilling their potential as people and as citizens of the world.
In the centre, you will often hear me repeat the following phrase: This is a stress-free zone. I prefer a learning environment where children feel comfortable and calm; this is conducive to study and to building self-esteem.
In short: Everyone is welcome at the Welkom Kumon Centre!.
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
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.
