About our centre

The Kumon Maths and English Study Programmes enable children of any age and ability to develop key foundations for learning. Our unique study method focuses on enabling children to work independently, giving them confidence in their abilities. They progress through small steps to gradually develop ability and fluency before moving on to the next topic. Kumon study is not based on school curriculum or age, allowing children the flexibility to revisit and build skills where they need to and progress beyond school level where their ability allows. Unlike traditional tuition, Kumon study fosters students’ skill in self-learning, building confidence and lessening reliance on a teacher.

Your child will be assessed to enable their Instructor to set work at just the right level for them. Through daily worksheet study they develop ability and fluency. Your child will visit their local study centre for a study session each week, where their Instructor will observe their learning growth and set work accordingly.

Kumon’s aim is to develop each child into a confident, independent and enthusiastic learner.

The centre benefits from sufficient, unrestricted free parking opposite the centre.

We look forward to welcoming you at the centre.

Kelly Skinner

About your Instructor

Hello, my name is Kelly Skinner and I am the Instructor of the Kumon Whitley Bay Study Centre.

In 1996, I graduated from the University of Sunderland with a degree in teaching and have been teaching in a primary school for 18 years. I have worked with students of all ages and abilities and have taught all curriculum subjects.

I decided to become a Kumon Instructor after seeing the huge difference that the Kumon programmes have made to my daughter. The maths programme has helped boost her confidence and develop the right study skills to help her tackle challenges with independence. She loves being able to work out calculations by herself, giving her a great sense of achievement.

Many of the students that I have worked with have lacked confidence and struggled at school and I have found it really motivating to see these children improving and achieving in their studies as a result of their hard work. I look forward to the students sharing their school success stories with me and to see how proud they are of their own achievements.

I look forward to welcoming families into the centre and setting the children off on their Kumon journeys!

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.
