The Kumon program is a three-way partnership for the success of your child. Kumon is most successful when the student, parent and Kumon Instructor work together to ensure that the child advances continually to the best of his or her ability.
The role of the Parent
Kumon parents generally find that their children end up with more time to pursue other interests because they’ve developed far more efficient study habits, along with the skills to do both Kumon assignments and schoolwork quickly and accurately without wasting time.
Take the first important step of enrolling your child in the program
Bring your child to the center twice a week
Help establish the routine by setting up a 'Kumon' time and suitable study environemnt for your child
Give positive feedback and encouragement for the child
Check that assignments are timed and graded accurately and completed daily
Know what what child is studying and why
Discuss that child’s progress with the instructor
The goal is for Kumon students to assume most—if not all—of the responsibility for their own study.
The role of the instructor
Kumon Instructors regard themselves more as mentors or coaches than teachers in the traditional sense. Their principal role is to provide the direction, support and encouragement that will guide the student towards performing at 100% of his or her potential.
Students who grow with Kumon may find their relationship to their Kumon Instructor to be among the most rewarding and productive of their academic careers.
All Kumon Instructors share a passion for education and an earnest desire to help children succeed. They will invariably apply these along with their talent and training in the Kumon Method to make the most constructive contribution possible to your child’s future.
The Role of the Child
Children have to cultivate the discipline and perseverance that will help them with more than just Math & Reading.
