About the Instructor

My name is Simon Percival and I am the Instructor at the Kumon York Clifton Study Centre.

Having been a teacher of both adults and young learners, in a number of schools around the world, for over 15 years, I have seen a range of different educational establishments and approaches. I believe that Kumon’s 'just right' level approach is the most effective way of maximising a child’s potential in both maths and written English, as well as helping them to develop the related transferable skills which can be applied to any other field of learning.

By starting the child at the 'just right' level, encouraging them to take small steps further every day, tailoring the path and monitoring how those steps are made, the Kumon method helps the child quickly gain the confidence and independence necessary to becoming a self-learner, and to study material far beyond their school-grade level.

Parents and caregivers are welcome to contact me at any time outside of class, by email or telephone, to ask more about the programmes, or to discuss their child’s progress.

Simon is fantastic with the kids. Couldn't ask for a better Kumon Instructor. Simon makes Kumon fun and enjoyable, while encouraging the kids to take learning seriously. Our little one has grown in skill and confidence rapidly. If you would like your kids to improve their English, Maths, problem solving (and be ahead of the school curriculum), give Kumon a try. We can't thank Simon enough for his help and guidance.

I am delighted to share my positive experience with Kumon Maths, and the transformation I have witnessed in my children’s mathematical abilities. The curriculum offered by Kumon Maths is meticulously designed, taking students on a step-by-step progression through various mathematical concepts. The learning caters to each student’s unique needs and pace. As a result, my children have been able to progress at a comfortable speed, gaining confidence with each achievement. Using the Kumon app makes leaning streamlined we can access Kumon anywhere with an internet connection. The instant feedback you receive on your answers helps you understand and correct mistakes easily. The regular assessments and progress tracking at Kumon Maths allows me, as a parent, to witness progress in my child’s abilities. Simon Percival at Kumon has been incredibly supportive and encouraging , offering guidance and motivation at every step of the way. I cannot recommend Kumon Maths and Simon highly enough. It has proven to be a game-changer in my children's education.

We’d heard good things about Kumon, and after the initial, and very insightful, assessment with Simon we loved the fact that you can progress at your own pace and there is flexibility in the program. By doing Kumon our child was able to get extra practice and move on to the next topic when he was ready. The fact that we can monitor the time it takes on the app means we can work well with Simon to ensure our child is spending approximately 20 mins a day which is keeping his interest, stretching him without it being a chore. After 5 months it’s great to see the progress he is making and the confidence he has developed.

For my daughter, We started Kumon almost a year ago. Simon is instrumental in her academic performance. The improvement in completing tasks assigned in Maths and English over the period until now is magnificent. I can easily find the change in her way of completing assigned tasks in timely manner. Proud of her and it wouldn’t have been possible without Simons patience and right guidance, support for her. Yes it took time as you said in the beginning but it is worth the wait. Thank You.

I would be more than happy to thank Simon for his support and guidance for my daughter. Simon has worked closely with her and it’s been almost 1.3 years that we started Kumon. The progress made is remarkable and I can see the difference in confidence level and impact on school performance Simons support has had. The difference before starting Kumon to now is beyond words. Thanks again.🙏☺️

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.
