Kumon is a worldwide tutoring center for pre-school through secondary-school students. Kumon is a teaching method started by Toru Kumon to help his son perform better in school; the technique utilizes small, manageable goals and more than 20 skill levels, so forward-progress is always felt by the child and helps him or her have a higher morale and a better success rate. Kumon offers programs for both children who are struggling to catch up and children who are ahead of the curve and want additional enrichment.
