About this centre

Discounts available KUMON CONNECT available In-Centre Class available Online 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

Truro - Zaya Gilchrist
My name is Zaya Gilchrist and my Kumon journey started in 1993 just two years after Kumon UK was established.

My mother, Carol Henderson-Clayton, was one of the initial four Kumon Instructors and I assisted her in her two large centres in Hampstead and Sloane Square in London.The opportunity arose three years later for me to take over the Kensington/Olympia centre making me the youngest Instructor aged twenty-three years old.

I ran the centre for seven years until I decided to relocate to the South West. A decision I did not make lightly as I really enjoyed running the centre. I was able to offer Kumon Maths and English by correspondence with students all over the UK and worldwide.

When I was offered the chance to start up a walk in centre again in Cornwall, I grabbed it with both hands.

With over 25 years of experience, I believe in the Kumon Study Programmes and have witnessed many success stories over the past two decades. I am delighted to start up the first centre in Cornwall and look forward to enabling each student the opportunity to reach their full potential

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.
