THE UNIQUENESS OF THE KUMON METHOD

With over 60 years of global experience and 30 years in Malaysia, Kumon has become one of the most recognised and successful educational programmes in the world. In fact, we’ve been proudly recognised as the Largest Mathematics and English Enrichment Centre in Malaysia.

What sets the Kumon Method apart?

It’s our unique approach that emphasises self-learning, personalised instruction and daily practice. By building strong foundational skills, fostering independence and nurturing self-discipline, Kumon helps students unlock their fullest potential—at their own pace.

• Self-Learning at the Core

At the heart of the Kumon Method is the principle of self-learning. Rather than relying on direct instruction from teachers, students are encouraged to learn independently. The programme’s worksheets are designed to guide children through a step-by-step process, allowing them to discover concepts and solve problems on their own. This promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills while encouraging children to take ownership of their learning.

Self-learning not only enhances academic ability but also builds essential life skills such as resilience and persistence. When students encounter challenges, they are encouraged to persevere and find solutions independently, rather than depending on others for answers. This approach fosters a strong sense of accomplishment and confidence, as students learn that they are capable of overcoming challenges on their own.

• Individualised Learning

One of the key distinguishing factors of the Kumon Method is its emphasis on individualised learning. Unlike traditional classroom settings, where all students move at the same pace, the Kumon programme allows each child to progress at their own speed. Students begin with worksheets that match their current ability level, ensuring that they are neither overwhelmed nor underchallenged.

The Kumon Method doesn’t follow a fixed curriculum for all students. Instead, it tailors learning to each child’s specific needs, ensuring that they have mastered each concept before moving to more complex concepts. As students gain confidence and proficiency in one area, they are gradually introduced to more advanced materials. This approach enables students to develop strong foundational skills that support long-term academic growth.

• Developing Strong Study Habits

Consistency and discipline are central to the Kumon Method. The programme requires students to complete their worksheets every day, helping them build strong study habits and a sense of responsibility for their own learning. This daily routine teaches time management and the value of consistent effort, both of which are essential skills in academics and life.

Kumon encourages students to challenge themselves with progressively more difficult tasks, cultivating a strong work ethic and preparing them for future academic demands. These habits, once formed, stay with students throughout their educational journey and beyond.
