What are Kumon’s benefits versus traditional tutoring programs?
1) Kumon students master fundamental skills before moving on to advanced material. Traditional tutoring often focuses on immediate assignments or tests, without addressing gaps in all foundational skills necessary for sustained success. 2) Students develop study habits for the long-run—with just fifteen to twenty mintues of targeted practice each day. Kumon’s proven method enables students to advance steadily while avoiding burn-out and stress. 3) Each student gets i) individually planned assignments that precisely match his/her current skill level each day; and ii) individualized assistance when needed. The Kumon instructor has training and computerized tools to analyze each student’s progress weekly. Graphical tracking of results on-screen enables every students easily see his/her progress and to stay on track.
