ABOUT THE COMPANY

info

The Kumon Method of Learning has been designed to help any child, no matter their ability, reach their maximum potential and become an enthusiastic, life-long learner. With over 60 years of experience, Kumon has established itself as the largest global supplementary education provider.

Today, over 600 franchisees run their Kumon centres in the UK, and around 3.6 million children are part of its worldwide network.

The Kumon Maths and English Programmes help learners think for themselves and develop strong problem-solving skills. Kumon Instructors guide their students through work set at just the right level for them. By encouraging students to work out answers for themselves, children develop increased self-belief and confidence, which translates across all subjects at school, and beyond in the wider world.

WHAT DOES KUMON DO?

info

With over 60 years of experience, Kumon is known for being the leading provider of supplementary education globally and in the UK.

Kumon offers so much more than tutoring and differs from conventional classroom teaching. Rather than preparing children for a specific test or assessment, we empower children to learn for themselves through a combination of individualised instruction and carefully developed worksheets. This means that a Kumon student will not be dependent on – or limited by – the skills and knowledge of others.

Kumon students achieve academic excellence: An independent 2020 study conducted by the Education Policy Institute found our students significantly outperform their peers in Key Stage 2 (Year 6) SATs. They achieve scores that place them over a year ahead of the national average and more than six months ahead of their matched peers in maths.

TESTIMONIAL

info

“In my five years of experience, I have many anecdotes: I have seen students’ confidence and self-belief flourish in a matter of weeks, and observed children who were struggling with a topic progress to working above their school year level within a year or less. I have seen students become readers for enjoyment; children winning awards for public speaking, critical thinking, progress and high achievements. Crucially, I have seen students become independent learners, who not only take charge of their learning in Kumon, but in other areas of their life too.

There are so many benefits that come with a small business that has a global name. If you want to be an educator and if you would like to help change lives whilst having the autonomy to be your own boss, then this has great potential.”

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Initial Investment: £3,000 for your licence fee (this covers £1,500 per subject for English and maths).

You will require an additional £1,500 - £2,000 for marketing across the first 12 months.

You will also have to allow for rent / hire of premises, plus further minimal running costs.

If you are buying an already established Kumon franchise then a fee goes to the outgoing Instructor for taking on their business.
