About our centre

Welcome to the Kumon Kilimani Study Centre

“When the student is ready, the teacher appears. When the student is truly ready, the teacher disappears.”

This profound wisdom perfectly captures the heart of the Kumon Method. Our ultimate goal is not to be a permanent guide, but to equip each student with the ability to become their own teacher, fostering a lifelong love for learning and the confidence to tackle any challenge independently.

Witnessing the Transformation

Nothing is more gratifying than witnessing the transformation in our students. We see children gain confidence as they move from learning support into mainstream classes, their foundations solidified. Equally inspiring are those talented  moving to advance complex material within  the programme through self-learning working way beyond school curriculum. Each student's success story is a testament to the power of the Kumon Method.

About your Instructor

A Journey of Discovery, Spanning Decades

My own journey with Kumon began over 27 years ago, sparked by a moment of recognition. As a teacher, I was dedicated to creating daily practice materials to sharpen my students' maths skills. A parent, noticing the striking resemblance between my own worksheets and those from Kumon, shared an example from a relative in the UK. I was immediately captivated by the method's logic and effectiveness.

Two years later, I was honoured to be invited to establish the Kilimani Kumon Centre, which I have been running ever since. This year, we are excited to extend the Kumon Method to more students through our new Kumon for School programme at Key International School, which has been met with tremendous enthusiasm.

I am grateful to the late Mr Garb for his belief and inspiration, and to the wider Kumon fraternity for their support, which has made this world-class educational programme a thriving reality for families in Kenya.
It is a privilege to guide your child on their own journey to self-discovery and academic excellence.

Frequently Asked Questions

As a global programme, Kumon does not follow a school curriculum, but rather is complementary to curricula across the world. The primary aim of the Kumon Method is to develop independent learning skills. These independent learning skills enhance the students’ performance right across the school curriculum. Kumon operates at exactly the right level for each student – regardless of their age – ensuring that work set extends and develops their skills, confidence and ability.

Kumon offers much more than tutoring and differs from traditional teaching in the classroom. Rather than preparing children for a particular test or assessment, Kumon empowers students to learn for themselves, through individualised instruction and carefully developed worksheets.

As well as developing key skills in maths and English, each Kumon student will work towards building their independent learning skills and confidence in their own abilities. This means that a Kumon student will not be dependent on – or limited by – the skills and knowledge of others.

Kumon is a self-learning programme with each student receiving regular support from their Instructor. The carefully developed worksheets teach students how to find the answer for themselves, whilst their Instructor offers guidance when necessary. The key role of each Kumon Instructor is to observe their students working, either in the centre or their online class, making sure that work is set at the right level and that they are developing at the right pace.

Both, and every child in between. This is because of our individualised approach to education, which always asks the question: "What is best for this individual child?" Following a diagnostic test, a study plan is set to develop the ability of the child and to progress them beyond the Kumon International Standard (an international approximation of their school level) regardless of their starting point. Kumon welcomes students with special educational needs, gifted and talented children, and all those who believe they can achieve more and fulfil their potential.
