We first met Diya in 2017 when she was seven and appeared in our Kumon advertising. In the past four years, Diya has remained focused on her Kumon and has just completed the Kumon English Programme! Diya’s parents are in no doubt that her excellent relationship with Kumon Instructor, Eirini, has been instrumental to her success so far.

How does it feel to be an Instructor and develop a child through to programme completion?  We spoke with Diya’s Instructor, Eirini Grammatikopoulou, from the Kumon Chelmsford North Study Centre to find out what it’s like to work with the students that she has. 

At Kumon, every child’s journey begins with an initial assessment. This is a great opportunity for you to meet your Instructor, discover where your child is placed in their current learning and ability, and find out more about Kumon study. Have you ever wondered how a Kumon Instructor assesses your child? Here, we take you through what to expect at your Kumon initial assessment, step-by-step.

Every parent wants the best for their child at school; to be happy, to grow, and to be nurtured to achieve their full potential. Naturally, “Will Kumon help my child at school?” is often one of the first questions that many new parents ask.

Dawn Willoughby, the Instructor from the Kumon Henley-on-Thames Study Centre, and Angela Buckley, fellow author and experienced teacher, have recently written and published a handy guide called Back to School After Lockdown: How to prepare your child. They have kindly agreed to share their tops tips with us and hope that their experience and guide will help parents to support their children as they settle back into the classroom.

Donika enrolled her son, Joel, with the Kumon Mill Hill Broadway Study Centre shortly after he turned four. We caught up with Donika to hear about the positive changes she’s seen in him so far, and how they kept his Kumon study going throughout the lockdown.
