The Center’s Philosophy

Instructor Monica Kim feels that her Kumon Center can be likened to a theater production, with students taking the leading role. The instructor is the director, motivating students in their learning, while parents work "backstage" to support and direct their child. The center's support staff are the “audience”, witnessing students excel in ways parents may not have thought possible.

BASIC CENTER POLICIES

Class Timing:

1. Mondays and Thursdays from 3 to 7 pm. 

2. Duration of class – New Kumon Students: Kumon is an individualized program of study. Student class and homework times vary. Brand new students working at their “comfortable starting point” often spend less time in class than longer-term students. This helps students adjust to Kumon. Initially, expect 15-20 minutes, but this time will increase as students move into more complex concepts and grade levels.

3. Duration of class – Experienced Kumon Students: Students studying new concepts or in more advanced study can expect to spend 20-30 minutes per subject, just like at home. Please work with the instructor to reduce schedule conflicts with Kumon class, and to adjust workload to balance Kumon goals with student activities.

4. Kumon Center Office Hours: The instructor keeps office hours on Mondays and Thursdays (1-7 pm) and Saturdays (9:30 am - 1 pm).

Class Expectations:

1. Students are expected to attend class twice per week. Excessive absences and missing assignments will cause students to fall behind and lose motivation.

2. Kumon of Orland Park - South uses a classroom approach for instruction. Student independence and self-learning are core principles of the Kumon Method which involves individualized study, not one-on-one tutoring.

3. The instructor and assistants circulate through the classroom to provide assistance and guidance, hints and tips to students. However, our goal is to help without helping – hints and examples, not answers. Students are also asked to try and figure out the problem on their own using provided examples. This stimulates self-learning.

4. Students are expected to swap out their own homework, and return completed and graded assignments.
