About our centre

The centre provides maths and English programmes for students of all ages and abilities and has been providing a valuable service for the local community since 2002.

Currently, the youngest student is three years old and the oldest is 18. The centre has a friendly but studious atmosphere and there are a team of dedicated assistants on hand to assist students when required.

A number of motivational items are used such as stickers, certificates, prizes and medals. Feedback is given to students each week with praise, encouragement and guidance and feedback is also communicated with parents by phone, email or briefly at class.

The unique Kumon maths and English Programmes pursue the potential of each child by developing confident, independent learners through individualised, advanced study.

Unlike the process of a traditional tuition provider, Kumon encourages students to take their learning into their own hands. The role of the Kumon Instructor is to provide guidance, support and encouragement, allowing the student to develop their own independent learning strategies.

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

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

About your Instructor

Hello, my name is Alessandra Lacerda, and I am the Instructor at the Islington Study Centre.

I have studied AAT accountancy courses to explore my options in this field and I also have a masters in Languages & Literature. I have worked with children for over 20 years, which I really enjoy. I have had the privilege to work in different countries such as Brazil, Germany and in the UK and now I am permanently based in the UK with my family.

Being a teacher is very rewarding but has its challenges. One of them is to make sure your student is capable of being an independent critical thinker, but as a teacher, how do you accomplish this difficult task? Kumon method has over 50 years of trying and successfully obtaining that aim.

That is exactly my motivation to have a Kumon Centre. As an Instructor, I can see and develop my students’ potential to the maximum, and more importantly, to confirm that they can self-learn, discover their own potential, and use their abilities to the maximum. To achieve that, as a teacher, it is necessary to create a mindset that we believe in our students and that makes the difference for their academic and personal lives.

To make the Kumon experience complete I hold conversations with the parents frequently and a progress meeting annually.
 

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.
