About our centre

The Kumon Northfield Study Centre opened in May 2013 and supports children in the local area and surrounding areas in the south of Birmingham. The centre, run by Instructor Alina Loi and her team of Class Assistants, helps children to grow in confidence and truly fulfil their potential.

Children of all ages and abilities are welcome to start their Kumon journey at the Northfield centre. There is a designated area for supported work with our younger students, before eventually moving to the independent study area. Classes run from upstairs in the multiuse Pastoral Centre where there is free parking.

Study of the Kumon Maths and English Programmes help each child develop self-learning skills, enabling them to tackle challenging work without reliance on a teacher.

At Kumon, rather than ‘teaching’ students, we encourage them to become independent learners who feel confident in their own abilities and able to face unfamiliar work. These skills will support children to easily grasp new topics in school and approach examinations such as SATs, GCSEs and their 11+ exam in the most effective and efficient ways. Our aim is to help any child of any ability to progress and develop a curiosity and love of learning.

Alina Loi

About your Instructor

My name is Alina Loi and I first began my journey with Kumon as an Area Manager at the Birmingham regional office in May 2010. It was my decision to start a family that prompted me to open my own centre – while I loved working with the Instructors and helping them to develop their centres, I realised that running my own would let me nurture students directly and play a greater role in helping students to succeed.

The Kumon Northfield Study Centre opened in May 2013 and has gone from strength to strength. After more than 10 years of operation, we have helped hundreds of local children receive the benefits and skills that Kumon study provides. Most of our Classroom Assistants are former students and are now helping to guide, encourage and support future generations in their further studies. The students continue to inspire and amaze me every day as they embark on their Kumon journeys, and I am so grateful to be part of such a fantastic organisation and enable children to reach and fulfil their potential.

I feel privileged and humbled that, through the Kumon Method of Learning, I’m able to help the children in my local area build confidence and become independent learners, giving them the life-long skills which they need to grow and succeed. I look forward to being able to offer the same service to your child.
 

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.
