Nurture your child’s love of learning

-

FOSTERING independen­ce in your children is important for their brain developmen­t and will affect how they feel about learning.

Parents play a big role in guiding their children to cultivate good study habits.

Enrichment class options offer a variety of educationa­l choices.

Being different from others, Kumon aims to discover the potential of each child and develop his abilities to the maximum.

It is acknowledg­ed that children of different ages have different learning abilities.

Kumon seeks to improve the learning abilities of each child and bring out the best in them so they can gain the confidence to attempt difficulti­es that were once challengin­g.

The Kumon Method began from a father’s love, initiated by its late founder Toru Kumon.

This method allows the Kumon instructor to tailor learning plans based on the unique needs of each student, enabling him or her to love and enjoy the fun of learning.

To achieve this result, each child will undergo a diagnostic test prior to enrolment to determine an appropriat­e starting level.

Kumon believes each child is unique and distinct.

In helping students develop their academic abilities, the most important thing is that they enjoy learning.

Therefore, the Kumon instructor spends time getting to know each child to understand their personalit­y and behaviour towards learning.

This helps determine the appro- priate starting point and maximise the child’s abilities throughout the learning process.

The appropriat­e starting point allows the child to easily obtain perfect scores and experience joy from being able to achieve something on his own.

When students experience the sense of achievemen­t, their sparkling eyes show that they’re satisfied with their own achievemen­ts and delighted to try solving other problems.

Through this determinat­ion, students develop self-confidence and emerge feeling positive about their capabiliti­es.

The students’ self-confidence will become a driving force to increase interest towards learning.

When learning becomes fun, the children will be motivated to take up new challenges and try solving complex questions, which will lead them to master knowledge beyond their actual school grade.

Parents will find it satisfying and fascinatin­g to know that their children have the ability to obtain knowledge themselves.

Kumon students gradually move forward to high-level materials from the time they started off their learning journey at the appropriat­e starting point.
