About this centre

In-Centre Class available KUMON CONNECT available

Please note: Saturday classes are held at Old Finchleians, Southover, N12 7JE.

The Kumon Finchley North Study Centre has been serving the community since 1996.

Our dedicated team is committed to nurturing confident, independent learners on Kumon’s unique maths and English programmes. We aim for students to reach a high level of study, whilst helping them develop valuable non-academic qualities such as concentration, perseverance, time management and a positive attitude towards learning from mistakes; skills which will allow them to excel in every field.

Students’ progress through the programmes is entirely based on their individual ability, regardless of age. Currently, our students range between three and 19 years old.

Students typically spend 20-60 minutes at the centre for each subject, depending on the work they are doing on the day and are encouraged to attend as frequently as possible.

Interested parents are invited to book one of our information sessions for prospective Kumon parents. At the session, you will receive detailed information about the Kumon Method and have the opportunity for questions and answers. We will also assess your child and present you with a long-term study plan and projection. This meeting can take place at our centre or conveniently in your own home, lasts up to two hours and is free and without obligation.


Did you know, you can now study Kumon using digital worksheets? This study centre is proud to offer KUMON CONNECT. Click here to find out more.

About the Instructor

Finchley North - Giles Hardwidge

After first establishing the Kumon Finchley North Study Centre at the Trinity Centre in 1996, I enjoyed a long career working at a senior level within Kumon Europe & Africa. Since taking back over Finchley North in 2013, I have been drawing on my experience of Kumon around the world with the vision of making Finchley North a world-class Kumon centre.

Great program so the kids learn at their own pace. Instructor at this centre is very familiar with the curriculum so they can assign appropriate work to help the kids learn as fast or slow as they can manage. Very important for the learning method to work.

A terrific centre that is genuinely concerned about the children's learning and development. Two of my children are enrolled with Kumon at this centre. Giles communicated the development plan clearly to us parents and keep us abreast of their progress. He is very encouraging and supportive when he works with the children. He understands learning is beyond getting all the worksheets correct but also having the children develop the right learning attitude and habits. In the short few months that we have been here, my children have grown from initial hesitation to do work everyday, to making it part of their routine, and now looking forward to the challenge everyday - a result from both the positive reinforcement from Giles and the ability to self-learn at their own pace with the curriculum.

Without a doubt I can say the instructor and staff here have always put the children's needs first which shows why they're the best and care so much. You can be sure that your child's best interest will be front and centre, as I have seen countless occasions how all the staff encourage and support their many range of students. My time at this centre as always been a pleasure!

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.
