About this centre

KUMON CONNECT available In-Centre Class available
The Kumon maths and English Study Programmes offer what traditional tuition gives to your child and more. Kumon goes one step further by helping each child develop self-learning skills, enabling them to tackle challenging work without reliance on a teacher. Our aim is to help any child of any ability to progress and develop a curiosity and love for learning. 

Your local Instructor will set work for your child 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. They will visit their local study centre up to twice a week for sessions with their Instructor. This allows the Instructor to tailor and adapt each child’s study plan to their abilities, through observing their progress and fluency at each level. 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 the Instructor

Erith - Richard Bonful
My name is Richard Bonful, and I am thrilled to be the instructor at the Kumon Erith Study Centre. With over 13 years of experience in education, my journey to becoming a Kumon Instructor has been fuelled by a passion for mathematics and a commitment to seeing students grow. Throughout my career, I have fulfilled various roles, including teacher of mathematics, literacy and numeracy coordinator, lead practitioner, head of mathematics, and assistant principal. Each of these roles has enriched my understanding of effective teaching practices and student development.

In my previous role at a school, our unwavering dedication to excellence ensured we consistently ranked in the top 11% for student progress. We also achieved outstanding ratings in all categories during our last Ofsted inspection, a testament to the high standards and exceptional educational outcomes that I have been a contributor to.

I am a strong advocate of the Kumon Method, having witnessed its remarkable impact on children, including my own son. I was amazed by how it fostered his independent learning and critical thinking skills. This transformative experience, along with countless success stories from children around the world, solidified my belief in the Kumon approach.

At the Kumon Erith Study Centre, I am dedicated to helping each child unlock their full potential. My goal is to create an environment that encourages exploration, self-learning, and growth, laying a strong foundation for future success.

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.
