Can I do Kumon online?
In March 2020, Kumon Instructors throughout Ireland and the UK coped remarkably when centres were, almost overnight, required to close their doors due to the outbreak of the pandemic. Many immediately took on the unfamiliar challenge of running classes online.
Online study turned out to be so successful over the subsequent months that many Kumon Instructors have decided it’s here to stay. For families wishing to enrol at Kumon, the choice is now often very much theirs – online classes via Zoom from home, or in-person classes with their Instructor at the Kumon centre.

Why is Kumon called Kumon?
As it’s not an instantly recognisable word within the English language, you may be wondering where the word ‘Kumon’ comes from, and how the world’s leading supplementary education provider came to acquire its famous name.
Kumon is in fact named after its founder - Mr Toru Kumon. Whilst many Kumon students are familiar with his story, what’s perhaps less well-known is the extent to which Toru’s own philosophies on life are woven into the Kumon Method itself.
