Kumon Finchley Central Study Centre

"Thank you Kumon Finchley Central for supporting my daughter
over the last few months (in particular). My daughter has been at the centre for nearly 3 years and despite the pandaemic and the practical difficulties it brought along with it, Alpa has managed to keep my daughter (and me) on track with regular zoom sessions. I am happy to hear you are reopening the centre in September."

Summer closure dates. The centre will be closed on Wednesday 23rd August, Friday 25th August, Wednesday 30th August and Friday 1st September. First class day back will be Wednesday 6th September.

Why do we have to continue studying every day over summer when schools don’t?

Whilst the summer holidays are often jam-packed with energetic activities including bike rides, swimming, and football, it is just as important to keep children’s minds active as well as their bodies.

Studies have shown that on average, students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months (Cooper, 1996).

I aim to set students work which will equate to around 30 minutes of study each day. This level of work will ensure steady progress, without overburdening them, which could prove demotivating. Incorporating this 30 minutes of study into your holiday routine will ensure your child continues to progress and learn without interruption.

We often find students who break from Kumon study must take a step back and return to work previously mastered, this can be disheartening for the student.
Whilst it is of course your decision to take a break, I would highly recommend you maintain your child’s study routine, even whilst you are away. We could discuss reducing your child’s workload over this period, as the most important thing is to keep the momentum going. Please use the form to let me know when you will be going away if you plan to.
