Kumon is one of the oldest and largest franchise businesses in the world. In North America alone, nearly 130,000 students are enrolled in the Kumon Program at more than 1,400 franchised centres. In fact, the Annual Franchise 500 listing in the January 2003 issue of Entrepreneur ranked Kumon first in the Tutoring Services category. Located in nearly every corner of the globe, Kumon Math and Reading Centres offer the premier after-school supplemental education program to over three million students worldwide.


Kumon Math and Reading Centres help students to reach their full potential through unique step-by-step mastery of skills. The ultimate goals are success in higher-level math and advanced reading comprehension. At Kumon, we believe that all children have the potential to excel when they are given the proper materials and are placed at a level of study appropriate to their ability. With the Kumon method of learning, each child can develop a solid foundation in math and reading as well as improved concentration and enhanced self-confidence. The key to learning with Kumon is to start the child at a comfortable point, where he or she can consistently solve 100% of the problems in a given amount of time. This approach increases self-confidence and allows the student to experience success right from the beginning.

The Kumon method of learning

This method was developed over 40 years ago in Japan by Toru Kumon, a high school math teacher whose son was struggling with second grade arithmetic. As an educator, Mr Kumon realized that a strong foundation in the basics was needed for success in higher level math. With that in mind, he created a series of worksheets for his son to complete after school. Through daily practice and a commitment to mastering each concept, his son was able to solve differential equations and integral calculus problems by the time he was in the sixth grade. The first Kumon Centre in North America was opened in New York in 1974.

As parents take a greater interest in their children's academic development, supplemental education is set to become one of the fastest growing industries in the years to come. Kumon plans to meet this demand by increasing the number of franchised centres in North America. We are seeking enthusiastic, highly motivated and achievement-oriented candidates who are committed to helping children achieve their full academic potential. Kumon Centres are independently owned and operated by the instructors. Following an extensive training period, instructors become certified to instruct in the Kumon method of learning.

In the UK & Ireland, there are nearly 40,000 students enrolled at over 500 study centres. As a Kumon Instructor, you will play a key role in applying a world leading learning method which truly enables students to realise their full potential. You will develop your skills as an educator within a network of skilled and committed Instructors.
