| 1. Success from the Start |
| Students begin at an appropriate starting point - determined by results of the diagnostic test - with assigned worksheets that can be easily completed. As a result, they master the basics and gain proficiency. |
| 2. Step-by-Step |
Kumon uses neither a classroom nor a tutoring model, but rather a guided "self-motivated-learning" approach. Worksheets assigned by the Instructor provide an example illustrating the concept to be learned.
Each new learning focus is introduced in minute steps. The progression is gradual so that students are able to acquire the skills needed to move on to another learning focus. |
| 3. Speed + Accuracy = Mastery |
| Before your child can advance from one assignment to the next, the material should be completed with a perfect score within a stipulated period of time. All work are graded and recorded to determine when your child has a total command of the material and is ready to progress. |
| 4. Practise Makes Perfect |
Worksheets are assigned to students daily. This is to ensure optimal comprehension and retention of concepts, thus, establish a strong foundation for more challenging learning focus. This will also instil good study habits, self-discipline and perseverance among students. |
| 5. Realising Each Child's Potential |
| The Kumon Method allows students to advance steadily at a comfortable pace set only by their abilities and initiatives. We believe that we are able to develop student's ability to the maximum through individualised instructional methods and skills and carefully designed worksheets. |
