About the Center

Welcome to our Kumon Math and Reading Center. For more than 60 years, Kumon’s after-school academic enrichment program has helped children achieve success worldwide. We strive to instill in children the desire to achieve and the motivation to learn on their own. Whether your child is seeking enrichment, needs help catching up or is just beginning his or her academic career, Kumon is designed to help him or her develop a love of learning.

Students advance through the program at their own pace. Our emphasis on individualized learning helps your child become focused, motivated and self-reliant. We monitor each child’s progress to ensure comprehension before moving on to a new concept. With a strong academic foundation, critical thinking and problem solving abilities, your child has the potential to achieve whatever he or she desires.

The Kumon Math Program is a comprehensive curriculum that develops the necessary skills to help children progress from counting through calculus. For more information about the Kumon Math Program.

The Kumon Reading Program begins with basic phonics and progresses all the way through advanced reading comprehension. For more information about the Kumon Reading Program.

  Center Assistant Duties

  Assisting Students
  
  Kumon Students can enroll as early as age three all the way through high school, so one main responsibility of any Assistant is to support our students. Unlike tutoring, this support is offered on an as-needed basis in order to encourage students to find the answers on their own. They provide hints to guide students through their work and help keep them motivated. Based on their observations and interactions with students, Center Assistants provide valuable feedback to the Instructor who can then adjust a student’s learning plan and goals if needed.
  
  
  
  Working with Early Learners
  
  Many Center Assistants work specifically with Early Learner students who have particular needs and are still learning basic skills.Some of these young students need to learn basic skills like how to hold a pencil and write their letters and numbers neatly before other skills can be developed. They also need help learning the Kumon routine and how to work through worksheets independently. The Instructor will set a specific set of goals for each early learner which may vary from day to day and week to week, so a bit of hands-on guidance from a Center Assistant helps keep them on track.
  
  
  
  Grading & Recording Student Progress 
  
  For school-age Kumon Students, correcting their mistakes is a critical part of the learning process. Having worksheets graded immediately after completion, allows them the opportunity to review and correct mistakes. This helps to accelerate their learning as they can learn from mistakes, master material more quickly and move on. Some Assistants at the Kumon Center called Graders, will grade both student homework and classwork.They also help record student results so that the Instructor can focus on tracking student progress, refining lesson plans and setting goals. 
  
  
  
  Communication
  With so many students to support, communication is vital. Center Assistants help to ensure that students know what they need to do and help keep the center organized. For example, they might help students check–in and check-out on class days, respond to customer inquiries, or communicate updates to parents. They’re the Instructor’s eyes and ears, help keep the center running smoothly and help students focus on learning.
