Parents know that it is their primary role to prepare their children for a better life in the future. This is the reason why parents would do anything and everything to ensure that their children are educated, providing them with the best education they can afford.
These days, tutorial centers are becoming more and more popular as parents wish to ensure their kids do better in school and create a strong foundation of learning. And as you might have noticed, Kumon centers are also opening across many places in the country.
What is Kumon?
According to its website, Kumon is the world’s largest after-school learning program. It was created in 1954 by Toru Kumon, a secondary school Math instructor who wanted to help his son, Takeshi, develop the love for learning, particularly in Math.
The loving dad developed assignments for his son to complete after learning basic concepts. Soon, Takeshi was improving so much that he was solving calculus problems by sixth grade!
Impressed by Takeshi’s progress, his teachers and other parents took interest on his dad’s learning methods. This is how the Kumon method spread.
Today, there are more than 24,700 Kumon centers around the world, offering reading and math lessons. In the Philippines alone, there are over 200 centers spread out across the country.
How to Franchise Kumon?
