Kumon offers individualised maths and English programmes to help children of any age and ability shine. With over 60 years of experience, Kumon has established itself as the largest provider of supplementary education in the UK. Today, Kumon has over 600 centres in the UK and Ireland and over 65,000 students enrolled nationwide. We are a globally recognised brand in 60 countries with 3.5 million students worldwide and an expanding network of franchised Instructors.

The Kumon Method, founded in 1958 in Japan by Toru Kumon, is designed to help children at any starting point to progress to their maximum potential and become enthusiastic learners. Rather than being taught in the conventional sense, Kumon helps children develop through the acquisition of independent learning skills. Each child becomes equipped with the ability to self-learn, helping students to take ownership of their own education and develop the confidence to strive for their goals and aspirations.

Kumon is also at the forefront of education technology with our digital service KUMON CONNECT. Operating on the same principle of active recall through writing as the traditional paper programmes, students complete digital worksheets using a tablet and stylus. This helps them to better retain what they are learning, and the digital functions, such as a playback feature, allow Instructors greater analysis of a student’s work habits to allow for faster progress to be made.

Start your career with a trusted global brand and be part of our growing network! We are looking for determined individuals who are passionate about education and helping children reach their full potential. As a Kumon franchisee, you’ll develop and run your own successful and thriving business. You will receive world-class training and support from the very start of your Kumon journey, including guidance from a dedicated Area Manager who will help you make sound business decisions. You could be the proud owner of your own study centre in as little as three to six months with an initial franchise fee of just £3,000, one of the lowest levels of investment required in the education franchise sector.

Kumon Instructors come from a wide range of diverse backgrounds and different careers. With former teachers, bankers, IT professionals and others running thriving Kumon centres, you don’t need prior experience in education to train as an Instructor. To be accepted, you will need to be degree educated, as well as demonstrate the desire to help children build their confidence and become independent learners. As the Instructor of your own Kumon study centre, you will reap the rewards of making a significant contribution to your community by helping children achieve a brighter future.
