My two sons have been attending Kumon North Cheam for the last three years, and I'm very happy with their progress. While the work seems never-ending, it's definitely worth it! Simi, the center owner, and her team are fantastic. They're always helpful, supportive, and well-organised. For parents looking to establish a strong academic foundation early on, we highly recommend Kumon North Cheam. Thanks, Simi and her team!

My daughter was struggling to do simple math when she started year 1 so I found Kumon North Cheam a year ago. Now she is amazing with numbers and able to calculate very quickly in her head. I am so pleased to see her improvement. Thank you for Ms Simi and her team for the great support. Kumon method is the best which I did when I was a kid growing up in Japan.

My five year old daughter started lessons with Benedicte over a month now and shortly after the start my daughter begged me to increase to two sessions a week. The sessions are very interactive, fun, good content and my daughter is very comfortable with her and is always looking forward to the next lesson. She has given her the confidence that learning a language is accessible to anybody. Highly recommend her!

Bénédicte is a fantastic tutor and I’m thoroughly enjoying the lessons with her! I’ve had other tutors in the past and she is by far the best one I’ve had. Lessons are structured and she always listens to your needs and tailors lessons accordingly. I would very highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing French tutor!

Bénédicte is a great teacher. My daughter loves her classe every week. We speak French at home but Bénédicte has given her the confidence to read and write in French too which is exactly what she needed. I could not recommend her more !

My son, who is 4 years old, has been attending French lessons with Bénédicte. He very much enjoys the sessions and cannot wait for his next lesson! Bénédicte is patient, professional and supports his development. Initially I was wondering how a young child could learn a new language but Bénédicte is able to help familiarise him with different sounds and words. She is very patient and supportive. We are both very happy with these lessons!

My daughter has been attending Maths and Physics tuition with Waruna for over a year, and he has been absolutely phenomenal. His tutoring has led to a significant improvement in her performance in both subjects. Waruna is very professional, considerate, and accommodating with scheduling, ensuring that his students receive all the necessary support. His clear explanations have made a substantial difference, and my daughter loves his classes. Over the past few weeks, her confidence in Further Maths has improved tremendously. Thank you, Waruna!

Waruna has been a very supportive teacher to my son. His guidance and teaching has helped my son secure A* in physics in A level.He understands the student’s individual needs and gaps in learning and focuses to help the student achieve. Thank you once again.

I wanted to express my heartfelt thanks for the incredible support and dedication Waruna has shown in helping my nephew improve his skills in math and physics.

We are deeply grateful for the positive impact you’ve had on Steve’s A-level journey. Thank you for going above and beyond to make learning engaging and accessible.

My sons in Y4, Y8 started Kumon last year and they already made a huge progress in Maths. It's really helpful to build a habit of studying everyday. Practing a few pages a day makes a huge difference:) Sheona and her team are very helpful and fantastic. Highly recommend the Tadworth Kumon Centre.

My sons have been Kumon for more than 6 yrs, with the Tadworth Kumon centre, we had Louise and now Shona and team, they are excellent. They are all very friendly, approachable and willingness to support children in learning and developing their Maths and English skills. We found the maths very helpful and my sons are doing well in the maths. The work is in a relaxed environment and virtual and we have tried both and change depending on school activities. Has worked very well for us. Thanks to Kumon team, both my boys are confident and doing well in Maths. :-)

Focused and fun, Vincent was incredible. My son enjoyed every lesson, turning a predicted 5 into a 9 exam result. A truly lovely man that we feel blessed to have found. Can’t recommend more highly.

Rating: 5 / 5

We are incredibly grateful to Vincent for helping our son excel in his GCSE French. Thanks to his guidance, our son achieved the top grade! Vincent was thorough, knowledgeable and had a clear strategy for success. He not only helped him master the subject but also built his confidence throughout the process. We highly recommend Vincent to anyone looking for expert and supportive tutoring.

Vincent helped my son with his Common Entrance, various school exams and GCSE preparation. All the exams were successful including achievement of GCSE grade 9. Vincent is a passionate teacher and my son always enjoyed his classes. I highly recommend Vincent.

Vincent worked with my daughter for her GCSE French. He was always on time, prepared for the lesson and totally professional. He built my daughter’s confidence up and she got an excellent result in her exams. I would not hesitate to recommend Vincent as a French tutor.

Rosanna at Powertutors connecting us with Christine who has been a lovely teacher for Psychology for our son. She is patient, calm and can break down difficult concepts into easier words. This has helped our son with ASD and I recommend her for children with special learning needs. Thank you for your help PT!

Karen was a wonderful tutor for our son Edward during an emergency period of EOTAS. She really met him where he was with different elements of his learning and helped start to address the very significant gaps arising from the poor educational standard at his previous SEN school, slowly building his confidence and self-belief. Her gentle but determined style helped him start his recovery from a period of school trauma and help ease his anxiety. Karen adapted her approach to suit, motivate and inspire him. We are very grateful for her thoughtful, diligent and patient work with him, the impact of her skilled teaching on him is clear. We all miss her and wish her all the very best for the future.

Our daughter passed the Grammar school exam under Yasmin’s guidance. Yasmin was very thorough with her style. We also found out that in person teaching was highly beneficial. The practice papers were provided as print outs which were then completed by the child and reviewed in the next session. We really appreciate the support we received last year with constructive feedback provided. Thank you for all your support!

Rating: 5 / 5

My son joined STS tutoring February of Year 5 after finding his old tutor was unable to work positively with him. I called Yasmin fairly worried that my son would be changing tutors so late in the 11plus journey. She was incredibly supportive and set a date to trial him and see how much he knew. Straight away she told me he was doing so well and he was definitely on the right track. Each week from then on, Yasmin was nothing but kind and positive about his learning. When I had a worry, she took the time to give me reassurance and even ideas of how to improve certain areas of learning. She kept up with last minute changes in the exam criteria and made sure my son had the up to date papers to work from, something other tutors in the area didn’t do. She tailored the work for his weaknesses and went above and beyond to help him feel confident. She also was truthful when she felt he could improve his learning or even his attitude towards the work in any way. My son has a place at Sutton Grammar starting in September 2024 and couldn’t be happier. My younger son will be starting with Yasmin when his journey starts. Yasmin is dedicated, kind and so personal, perfect for our family.

Yasemin is an experienced and excellent tutor with a kind and calm manner. She effectively covered a huge amount of Maths and English content with my daughter, supporting her through the 11+ process and ensuring she is confident going forward in the transition to secondary school. She gives regular feedback and provides plenty of materials necessary.

Rating: 5 / 5

Yasmin has been an incredible tutor through both my 11+ and GCSE examinations. She has provided invaluable resources (such as past papers, worksheets, predicted papers and more) and has never hesitated to explain a concept I struggled with understanding. She has always challenged my abilities and pushed me to do better when I make silly mistakes! I can say for certain that without Yasmin, I would not have done nearly half as well on both examinations as I would have without her guidance. Thank you for everything!

Throughout my time at Kumon, the help and advice that I have received has always been to a very high standard and has enabled me to expand on my mathematics skills. Continuous practice has allowed me to grow in confidence with topics I initially found quite challenging, whilst also helping me to develop other important skills, such as independence and perseverance. The friendliness and dedication shown from Gina and the instructors has helped to create a good working environment, which has made the experience really enjoyable. I would highly recommend the Kumon programme to anyone who is currently considering as I can assure you that the teaching provided will help to improve their learning abilities.

Rating: 5 / 5

The maths program at Kumon has allowed me to develop a deep understanding of A Level mathematics (achieving a* in both maths and further maths,) and provided me with essential problem solving skills. Completing the program teaches you to be resilient and to have discipline, as you'll be trying to learn concepts that are 2-3 years above your school curriculum. Gina and the staff are very friendly, they will help and assist you with anything you may find difficult and often provide support even when you are not at the centre.

Rating: 5 / 5

I joined Kumon from the ages of 5 years old -13 years old as I wasn't very confident in my Maths and English skills. However, Gina's supportive nature has pushed me to believe in my full potential and since leaving the centre I have scored top marks at GCSE/A-Level Maths/English where I even scored full marks in my A-level English Literature exams, I've graduated from a top ranking university and now work in finance at a competitive corporate firm. I plan to enrol onto a teaching degree and hope to teach English Literature in the future. This reality is crazy to me because I never would've thought I had the potential or the passion for Maths or English without Kumon. Both programmes provide you with so much practice of core skills you'll need at every level of academia, even once you leave! So big thank you to Kumon and Gina especially for teaching me the skills of patience and perseverance at such a young age! I would highly recommend this programme to anyone, it's so worth it :)

My son has been studying the Kumon maths program since year 1 primary school. The program provided him with a life skill to mentally resolve problematic equations. This allowing him confidence not only in maths but in other core subjects like physics and statistics. Gina has played an integral role in my sons learning journey, her patience, mentoring and guidance has made my son a confident mathematician. Gina has always been a supportive tutor for my son when tackling challenging topics. I am really pleased that we made the right decision to enrol him on the Kumon math program.

I cannot recommend Shine Tutors highly enough. My son started attending sessions with Lynnette in year 4, which ultimately helped him receive offers from both Tiffin School and Kingston Grammar School. The tuition and guidance received from Lynnette was invaluable to achieving this. Her sessions both supported and stretched my son academically but also gave him the knowledge and confidence needed for the entrance exams. Lynnette also provides lots of information to parents to help guide them through the school entrance exams process.

Rating: 5 / 5

Lynnette provides an excellent structured setting whereby most of the class gain top school offers. The extra focus and individual feedback that Lynnette provides in the run up to key exams made us feel confident of success. Moreover, if you are looking for your child to develop an enthusiasm for learning beyond exams then Shine provides that breadth. You know it’s good if they miss the lessons long after the exams are over!

Rating: 5 / 5

My son has been offered a place at Tiffin and whilst he is a bright child we know that that isn’t enough to be successful in these exams, especially coming from a state primary school. Shine Tutors provided a structured and thorough programme of work and practice for these exams, with Lynnette’s long experience of the requirements for different schools and high expectations for both children and parents on the commitment and standards needed and we know we made the right choice for our son.

I highly recommend taking private lessons with Shine Tutors. L. is an amazing tutor and very professional. She helped my child to reach another level indeed and prepared him so well. He enjoyed her class so much. Shine tutors accurately identified my child's strengths and weaknesses so they could work on them effectively. The methods used are perfectly aligned with the tests, and the follow-up and correction of exercises are consistent. Thanks to the weekly follow up with a lot of good learning homeworks material our child succeeded in all his 11+ exams. It's hard work and effort at first but it all pays off. He got offered a place at Tiffin in the first round as well as other independent schools such as Hampton Boys including Upper Latymer scholarships. We are so grateful for the outstanding work L. has done to stretch our child and accompany him with consistent diligent work to succeed in his exams. She has also provided lots of information to us, has been a strong guidance for all of us in this journey and particularly in the school entrance exams process. Thank you again for your amazing engagement with children.
