Educational
Kumon Lane Cove
At Kumon, we personalise each student’s program, right from the beginning. Students start at a level that allows them to build self-confidence from day one, and progress according to their ability rather than their age. Over time, our students develop the study habits, attitude and skills that will allow them to study advanced material confidently and independently.
During August, you can try Kumon for Two Weeks for FREE! You will need to attend an assessment & orientation prior to commencing, and spaces are limited.
Find out more about the Kumon Method of Learning by watching our introductory video (kumonglobal.com/kumon-a-foundation-for-the-future/) or booking an Orientation Meeting directly with Sheryl at [email protected].

We have prepared all sort of games like: charades, I spy, crosswords, word search, bingo, treasure hunt, memory cards, and more!
What parents say:
“Your zoom classes have been fantastic. The teacher keeps the children engaged and focused throughout the class”
“We would love to try F2F lessons, however the online versions – which is all we know – are very effective I particularly appreciate the small class sizes and the fact that everyone has a turn to practice. Keep up the wonderful work!”
“The interaction with other kids is brilliant (even via online lessons) the different activities kept the kids engaged and interested.”
