About our centre

The Cheltenham Bishop’s Cleeve Kumon Study Centre has been part of the local community for many years and offers maths and English programmes for children of all ages and abilities. Set in the beautiful Tithe Barn, sessions have a calm, quiet, focused atmosphere allowing children the right environment to develop independence, concentration and confidence while also developing their academic ability.

The Kumon maths and English Study Programmes enable children of any age and ability to develop key foundations for learning. Our unique study method focuses on enabling children to work independently, giving them confidence in their abilities. They progress through small steps to gradually develop ability and fluency before moving on to the next topic. Kumon study is not based on school curriculum or age, allowing children the flexibility to revisit and build skills where they need to and progress beyond school level where their ability allows. Unlike traditional tuition, Kumon study fosters students’ skill in self-learning, building confidence and lessening reliance on a teacher.

Your child will be assessed to enable their Instructor to set work at just the right level for them. Through daily worksheet study they develop ability and fluency. Your child will visit their local study centre for study sessions up to twice a week, where their Instructor will observe their learning growth and set work accordingly. Kumon’s aim is to develop each child into a confident, independent and enthusiastic learner.

As an Ofsted registered centre, parents can make considerable savings through various schemes.

Tom Baldwin

About your Instructor


My name is Tom Baldwin and I am the Instructor of the Cheltenham Bishop’s Cleeve Study Centre. I am a qualified primary school teacher with experience in a range of different educational settings. I am very passionate about education and truly believe that students can learn and develop to their maximum when they are given the right support and tools from teachers, parents, carers and instructors. Each child has the potential to excel when there is a great mix of fun and learning. The unique Kumon method ensures that each child is given the best chance to a good start in life.

Through my education experience I have developed the skills to plan, assess, support and communicate to help children reach their true potential. Each and every little success is important to me and I ensure children's work and effort is always celebrated. The Kumon journey for a child will start with me meeting the child and assessing their current ability to create a unique study plan tailored to meet the individual needs of the student. Through daily study, both at the study centre and at home, children will develop independence, fluency and a love for learning. The parents' role is invaluable and they are always welcome to contact me to discuss the children's progress outside the centre hours.
 

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.
