About this centre

Free Trial available Ofsted Registered In-Centre Class available Childcare vouchers accepted KUMON CONNECT available
The Kumon Maths and English Study Programmes enable children of any age and ability to build key learning foundations. Our programmes will not only help your child to become a confident learner, they go one step further than traditional maths or English tuition by equipping them with the skills to learn for themselves. Self-learning is an important skill for children as they journey through education and beyond, building independence and ability to progress without reliance on a teacher. Our study programmes provide an economical way to equip your child with the skills that they need to build a bright future.
After an initial assessment, your child will follow an individualised study programme with work set at just the right level. They complete daily worksheets building skills and fluency in small manageable steps, as well as attending tuition groups at their local study centre up to twice a week. An Instructor will monitor and guide your child’s learning development to ensure work remains challenging. Kumon study does not follow any curriculum and work is set regardless of age, enabling children to revisit topics or advance far beyond school material without restriction.

This study centre is proud to offer KUMON CONNECT. Click here to find out more.

About the Instructor

Dartford Instructor - James Afolayan
My name is James Afolayan, and I am the Instructor at the Kumon Dartford Study Centre. I strongly believe in the value of education and its power to equip children to achieve their future dreams and goals. From my teenage years, I have been passionate about mathematics and working to develop young people.

I have worked in numerous roles in my 15-year career in education, ranging from teacher, head of year, head of mathematics to assistant headteacher. This provided me the opportunity to support children in building good habits and achieving outstanding results in GCSE and A-level examinations. During this period, I also worked as part of the UK government's national strategy team to develop a coherent curriculum that would improve the quality of mathematics education.

I am extremely passionate about the Kumon programmes as they provide a coherent curriculum for both mathematics and English, built on the principle of mastery of the core ideas that form the foundation of advanced and complex knowledge and skills. As a Kumon Instructor, I individualise the learning of each child by setting work at just the ‘just right’ level and prioritise the development of study skills that ensure each child builds strong learning foundations and transferable skills that will help them achieve their goals across all subjects.

It is of the utmost importance to me that each child attending my centre grows into a positive and confident learner who believes in themselves. I believe that with the structure we provide here at the Kumon Dartford Study Centre and the support of parents and guardians, the sky is not the limit but the starting point for our children.

My child started his tuition with just maths. It took us a while to get used to his schedule. But once my son was settled we were absolutely delighted with the progress he has made. The teachers there (James and Tolu) they are the best teachers anyone could get. Very polite, calm, always smiling and on top of that ready to help every possible way they can and easily approachable. I am so glad my son takes tuition with Kumon Dartford. I am seeing the impact of Kumon in his class homework. It might take time but it will definitely help with the studies. I have referred many friends there. Thank you so much 😊

James and Tolu are brilliant! Both my kids attend their Kumon centre in Dartford and I am very impressed with the progress they are both making. The team provide a tailored learning curve for both my kids that supports their individual development. Additionally, they create a safe environment for my kids to learn and instil confidence. The comms is very clear and I receive prompt response from them. As a parent who has been using Kumon for a long time, I am very happy I chose this centre.

Popular 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.

Students can start learning with Kumon from age two upwards. We currently have students as young as two years old studying with us, ranging all the way up to those about to go to university; Kumon helps children of any age and any ability. The sooner children begin, the earlier they can start developing skills to gain the greatest cumulative benefit; as soon as you feel your family is ready to make the commitment to long-term study, Kumon will be ready to help you achieve your goal.

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.
