About our centre

The Kumon Maths and English Study Programmes enable children of any age and ability to develop key foundations for learning. Our unique study method focuses on enabling children to work independently, giving them confidence in their abilities. They progress through small steps to gradually develop ability and fluency before moving on to the next topic. Kumon study is not based on school curriculum or age, allowing children the flexibility to revisit and build skills where they need to and progress beyond school level where their ability allows. Unlike traditional tuition, Kumon study fosters students’ skill in self-learning, building confidence and lessening reliance on a teacher.

Your child will be assessed to enable their Instructor to set work at just the right level for them. Through daily worksheet study they develop ability and fluency. Your child will visit their local study centre for study sessions up to twice a week, where their Instructor will observe their learning growth and set work accordingly. Kumon’s aim is to develop each child into a confident, independent and enthusiastic learner.

About your Instructor

Hello, I’m Grainne O’Donnell, Instructor at the Douglas study centre.

Prior to Kumon, I worked in London as a mathematician in investment banking and oil trading for ten years. I received an award for the highest results in Ireland in Leaving Certificate maths, and graduated top of my class in both my engineering degree and master’s degree.


In 2008 I spent four months working in a school in Tanzania. I thoroughly enjoyed helping children develop academically and personally through positive motivation and support, it was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.


I first came across Kumon when I was working in London and a number of colleagues had children enrolled onto the programmes. They were hugely impressed with how it taught them how to study effectively. After the birth of my third child I did a lot of research into ways I could fulfil my passion for education and I recalled the high praise for Kumon. I was inspired to open my own centre in Douglas as I know the Kumon Method would hugely benefit so many.


What I love about Kumon is that I can work individually with all of my students and tailor their development accordingly. I will ensure that they only progress to new concepts once previous ones have been mastered.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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 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.
