FAQ

What is the difference between Kumon Method and Tuition?: Kumon does not use a traditional classroom learning style or a one-to-one tutoring method. Instead, worksheets are designed based on a “learn by doing” principle. Kumon encourages students to think for themselves. The goal of the program is to develop students’ confidence so that they will first try to solve a problem on their own before asking for help. The Instructor provides guidance, praises and assistance when needed.

The sole objective of the Kumon Method is to help students develop the ability to work on “high school materials through self-learning”.

Kumon helps each student to develop the skill to work on new materials without much assistance and to rely on their own mastery of previous concepts. Guiding students to this point and encouraging students to reach materials beyond their school curriculum level is what makes Kumon uniquely valuable to each student's school success.
