Is a total break from all studying over the summer really helpful?

Living in a time of Covid-19 has prompted new conversations and new perspectives on what’s actually important to us. For many, this time of reflection has led to a reconsideration of career choices. Perhaps the thought of returning to the corporate world is less than appealing, or maybe the dream of starting a business now feels more achievable. As lockdown measures gradually ease, many of us are taking the opportunity to explore the idea of a refreshing new start.

We’re always thrilled to hear when parents have come to Kumon after a recommendation from a friend or family member.

We are excited to be able to introduce The Kumon UK & Ireland Refer a Friend Scheme where you can now gift your friends and family, that are interested in studying with Kumon, with a Free Registration!

We first met Diya in 2017 when she was seven and appeared in our Kumon advertising. In the past four years, Diya has remained focused on her Kumon and has just completed the Kumon English Programme! Diya’s parents are in no doubt that her excellent relationship with Kumon Instructor, Eirini, has been instrumental to her success so far.

How does it feel to be an Instructor and develop a child through to programme completion?  We spoke with Diya’s Instructor, Eirini Grammatikopoulou, from the Kumon Chelmsford North Study Centre, in Essex, England to find out what it’s like to work with the students that she has.

We'd like to thank mums everywhere. Happy Mother's Day.
