About our centre
The Kumon Altrincham Study Centre offers both maths and English study programmes. Unlike traditional tuition centres that teach, Kumon goes one step further by equipping each child with techniques and self-learning skills, enabling them to tackle challenging work, independently. We aim to help any child of any ability to progress and develop a curiosity and love for learning.
The centre opened over 13 years ago with children from the age of two through to 18, studying with us each week, so we’re now a well-established part of the community. Classes run at the Bowdon Parish Centre and we provide a comfortable afterschool setting for parents and students alike. Our in-centre classes are currently three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Attending class allows the Instructor and a team of around three class assistants, to observe their methods, progress and fluency at each level to tailor and adapt each child’s study plan according to their abilities.
Each student’s assigned study is set at just the right level, enabling them to build confidence in their abilities and progress their maths and English skills in small, manageable steps through daily study. Our study programmes are individualised to each child to help them establish strong learning foundations and a positive learning experience, to build skills and confidence for their future.

About your Instructor
My younger daughter studied both Kumon programmes, and I was blown away by the results. I witnessed her develop in confidence and find a love for learning, approaching any task with a curious and self-reliant attitude. After experiencing Kumon as a parent and with my maths teaching background, I was drawn to the Kumon Method of Learning and trained to become an Instructor. I love developing children of all ages and abilities in the centre. Kumon supports the development of several soft skills as well as the academics of maths and English.
Kumon helps children to become independent learners and develop core skills which will help them succeed in all aspects of school life, including the Trafford Selective School entrance examinations and GCSEs. Whether your child is struggling in school or not being challenged enough, Kumon can help them discover their maximum potential. I look forward to welcoming you soon.
Frequently Asked Questions
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 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.
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.
