How the Kumon Method Began
The Kumon Program is designed to advance your child’s math and reading skills and love for learning — providing an academic advantage throughout school. The lifelong benefits often go far deeper. Kumon sparks critical thinking, establishes a pattern of success, and builds confidence that can lead to accelerated learning throughout life.
Kumon was created by a dad who wanted the
best for his son.
Over 60 years ago in Japan, a math teacher named Toru
Kumon wanted to give his son, Takeshi, a love for learning. He also wanted to prepare him for high school, college
and beyond.
Short, incremental assignments helped his son
master new concepts.
Takeshi completed these assignments every day, mastering each concept
before learning a new skill. The method was so successful
that by sixth grade, he was solving calculus problems.
As Toru’s son started studying far beyond grade level,
other parents took notice.
Takeshi’s abilities improved, and interest in Toru Kumon’s
unique, step-by-step, self-learning method grew. Today, Kumon has helped over 4 million students in
49 countries.
KUMON CAN GIVE
YOUR CHILD A LIFETIME OF
ADVANTAGES.
Kumon goes far beyond
tutoring.
This structured, self-learning program imparts the critical thinking skills and mindset
to learn new materials independently. It helps your
child develop a more positive attitude about learning.

Your child progresses at his or her own pace.
Regardless of academic level, your child progresses step-by-logical-step at a comfortable speed. Conquering challenge
after challenge builds confidence and puts your child
on the path to achievement.
Kumon delivers results in school
and beyond.
With our disciplined worksheet approach, many
Kumon Students are studying above grade level, which
opens a new world of educational opportunities.
WHAT SETS

Our worksheets and individualized lesson plans are the keys to success.
Kumon Worksheets are designed to help your child develop self-learning skills that can last a lifetime.
• Kumon Math Worksheets progress from counting through calculus and beyond.
• Kumon Reading Worksheets move from pre-reading skills to Shakespeare.
• Every worksheet is a step more advanced than the one before, ensuring your child grasps a fundamental skill before moving on.
• Daily assignments take about 30 minutes to complete, and often include examples of how to solve problems. This empowers Kumon Students to learn new concepts on their own.
• Two days a week, your child completes assignments at the Kumon Center. The other five days, worksheets are completed at home.
