When my daughter finished Reception in July 2019, I noticed her maths skill wasn't great. So I looked for private tution and she joined Kumon in maths in September 2019. For thr first few months, probably like most children, she got frustrated and ended up in tears. I started to ask myself:" Is Kumon right for her?" I talked to Berta and she explained Kumon development wasn't quick and it was a long-term plan. She encouraged me to give her more time. So my daughter didn't stop then and carried on her Kumon learning. Surprisingly my daughter's concentration got better slowly and she finished her work daily and her mental skill got much better! She started her English in June 2021 and her hand-writing and comprehension have been a lot better since then. Generally school work is now easier for her. Thank you Berta for setting up work and up-dating my daughter's progress and identifying weak areas. I am so glad my daughter didn't stop Kumon after first few months and I regreted I didn't let her start English earlier! Looking forward to a further Kumon learning journey with Berta. If any parent asks me about Kumon, I would say it is not easy for both child and parents. But if you would like your child to do well in academy, Kumon is a great way to achieve solid foundation! Both child and parents' hard work will pay off!!

I am glad that I chose Kumon with Berta for my Son. He has just been 2 months with her and I can already see a good progress in his Reading skills. I would highly recommend Kumon for kids as it improves their focus and attention through completing workbooks regulary, Berta plays a major role in encouraging them to do so. Berta gives individual feedback on the kid's progress and also never fails to steer the parents in the right direction with her feedbacks. Above all, I am happy that my son loves coming to Berta's classes.!!!

My children have been attending Kumon classes since June 2019. Our first initial appointment with Berta was carried out very professionally. Berta gave lots of information for us to help make the desicion to love forward with Kumon. Since then both our children have flourished. When my daughter started school August 2019 you could see from only a few months of Englisg Kumon work that it had a real benefit, she continues to excel with her reading and English and due to starting Maths Kumon early 2020 his becoming more confident with her maths work also. The difference this has made to our 9 year old son is tremendous, he is becoming more confident with his English and understands more about the comprehension side of English and it has also done wonders for his hand writing, he also started Maths in 2020 and continues to grow in confidence. I would highly recommend Berta if anyone asks, she is very approachable and will help and encourage not only the children but also the parents. I can't thank her enough for encouraging both my children and myself to get them to where they are today. All I have left to say is a massive THANK YOU and we look forward to continuing our Kumon journey together.

My son joined Kumon in January 2019 through a recommendation of a friend located in a different town. She told me how good the program was and she was certainly right. The program has helped my son greatly in his English skills; both written and spoken. Berta is an amazing instructor and advisor with so much passion for what she does. She takes the time to speak to me both via telephone and messenger to update me on my sons progress. Even during these very difficult times she has been consistent with her work. She really has the child’s best interest at heart. I would definitely recommend this program to every parent who wants their child do well academically.

The experience we’ve had with Kumon has been excellent.My children,boy and girl,both go to Kumon.When the boy started attending his weekly visits,it was quite a challenge to engage him in any school related work.We saw a big change when he started with Kumon.It was like a light bulb moment where,not only did his confidence grow but his desire to learn grew.He enjoys school work now and if it wasn’t for Berta’s patience and encouragement,our son would not be at the level he is now.Berta is always there when you need her and is positive with her advice. I would highly recommend any parent to try out Kumon’s style of learning and l can guarantee a positive attitude in your child’s approach to Maths and English.These two subjects are essential in this world.Maths,we are constantly calculating without knowing.English,the common language for business.

The programme and support we have received over the last 18 months has been brilliant.. during such a hard year for various reasons the Kumon programme has remained consistent for my children. This could not of happened without the support from Berta. Thank you for investing your time and effort to ensure the children receive the tools in a timely manner.

Initially I was a bit sceptical about Kumon, I thought it was just worksheets that the children do daily but it is so much more! Kumon helps the children build discipline, understanding and motivates them to do better. My Son, Ethan, joined Kumon during Year 5 and has been going to Kumon for 18 months now. He enjoyed maths at school and although he wasn’t struggling he didn’t find it particularly challenging and lacked the commitment and motivation to do better. Berta identified his strengths and weaknesses and has pushed him to do better and set a challenging but achievable pace for him to work at. Under Berta’s guidance Ethan passed his Kumon level G and achieved a silver award and is now working through Level H. I am really pleased that he has reached such a level before starting secondary school and I am sure he will continue to rise to the challenges Berta sets and push himself further. Joining Kumon has had such a positive impact on my children I would highly recommend Kumon to any parent. Thank you Berta for all your patience and time and dedication, keep up the good work!

My son has been going for Kumon classes for two years and has excelled academically in school. I would highly recommend Kumon for Maths as well as English for our young children under the coaching and guidance of Miss Berta. Miss Berta’s Kumon teaching comes into its own with her structured approach and disciplined regime. Under her guidance, our children’s development outside of school will be enhanced and will prepare them for the future when they go to University. This manner in which Miss Berta conducts the self taught classes is a proven concept and guarantees academic success for your child. Kumon is not easy sometimes for our young ones and you may experience some resistance from them but Miss Berta knows how to encourage our children and to keep going with the aim to succeed. Our schools are too overcrowded with 30 in a class and individual attention by the teachers is impossible. Miss Berta uses Kumon to employ a method of learning through repetition and gradual increase in complexity which draws our child into the learning through small incremental successes thereby enabling confidence and self development. When i learnt about Miss Berta, she was recommended by good friends, and when i met her i knew she had the recipe for my child’s success and now he will excel in his class for both Maths and English. Me and my wife both feel fortunate to have had Miss Berta come into our lives for the betterment of our only child.

My son has been attending Kumon with Miss Berta for over 2 years now. She has give him structure, discipline and focus to support him in his young age. We have noticed a huge difference since our son had attended kimono. During the covid pandemic Miss Berta has been offering online session which has proven extremely helpful. She takes pride into teaching all her students and most importantly my son loves attending kumon. I would highly recommend this centre.

My son started Kumon (English) a year ago. Since starting, he has gained some much confidence in his reading, writing and spelling. We have developed a nice daily routine of learning every evening. He looks forward to his spellings and i see how keen he is when spelling out some of the words in his English Kumon. He has recently started Maths and Berta has been fantastic in helping me include this to his routine. She always provides regular constructive feedbacks. She highlights his area of weakness and guides me on how to help him. I have to say that Berta’s passion for educating is very infectious. I definitely recommend Kumon with her. It can be demanding on parents as we have to bring out time everyday despite having a busy work schedule but I won’t have it any other way. I see the daily progress my son makes and i can not thank Berta enough.

My daughters have been doing Kumon for 9 years and my elder daughter has completed the English programme. Kumon has helped them both in many ways like climbing the academic ladder, staying focused and being disciplined in their work. The journey has not been easy when the girls wanted to give up because they were not motivated and found things difficult. Berta has been extremely helpful and supportive at all times and her invaluable guidance has helped us all carry on. I would recommend Kumon to any child because this would boost their Maths and English skills.

V. B.

Both my girls have been attending Kumon since 4 years old, with oldest one doing Kumon for 9 years now. Berta has always been a great support and an excellent tutor to my girls in motivating them whilst challenging when she know they can do better. I would recommend Berta to anyone wishing to join Kumon enabling a bright future and confident kids. Both my girls are doing very good in school due to Kumon Maths programme. Thank you once again, Berta.

Both my daughters started Kumon in September 2018, since joining the daily worksheets have built their confidence and helped them understand topics. Aswell as giving them good foundation skills- attention to detail, following instructions and focussing. Berta as an instructor is fantastic from the initial assessment she makes of your child and the support which she provides is next to none, she really knows your child well in terms of behaviour considering she only sees them for the 30-60 minute kumon session a week. Kumon and Berta can definitely add another dimension onto your child's learning and it is important to say as parent your commitment to Kumon has be just as much as your child, making sure books are done every day and keeping on top of marking as this all contributes to your childs learning.

My daughters only joined Kumon few months ago and their progress has already been phenomenal. My youngest only just turned 4 and is starting school in September 2020 whilst her elder sister is 5+ We always struggled to get them to focus and concentrate on learning. However, since joining Kumon, coupled with the coaching and guidance from Berta Rapoz, we have noticed an immediate improvement in their general attitude and performance. They now focus more, are more independent, confident and disciplined. We are very thankful they joined Kumon and are very proud of the progress and transformation they have made in such a short period of time. The worksheet given to them weekly has helped alot as they no longer grumble when it is study time. My eldest daughter now does her work sheet independent . My youngest is looking forward to starting school in September whilst my eldest always looks forward to when she is moved to a different study level either in school and at kumon. I would recommend Kumon to all parents who are keen on on their child's progress,confidence, discipline and academic performance

Kumon has been and continues to be a great help for my daughter. I signed her up one year before she started school as she was not too confident and with us speaking a different language at home, I also wanted to build her English skills.. When she started school,she was already able to read almost fluently, her confidence had dramatically improved and is amongst the top pupils in her class. We have now started her on math too and she is really enjoying it. Berta's support has been "key" during this journey too, she has been a fantastic help and showed me tips on how to improve my girl's performance and her confidence, I would recommend kumon to everybody.

X. E. P. G.

Since my boys have started at Kumon (March 2017) they've both grown in confidence and are excelling at the subjects they're doing. My husband and I particularly like the fact that they're engaging their minds every day for just a short period of time, which helps with their attention span and focus. Berta has been amazing at giving us regular feedback on their progress and she earned their respect from day 1. We are so excited to continue seeing them thrive at English and Mathematics and looking forward to when our daughter can join them at classes.

We’ve started Kumon after a very good friend of ours recommended it to us. I’ve signed up both of my girls Back in March 2018. My main aim was to fill in the gaps in their maths education and improve their mental maths skills as I had impression that they were not very confident . My older daughter was at the time in a Year 5 and although she was finding it initially very hard, especially that she had to go back to basics at first...very soon she started to become quicker at her mental maths and more accurate in her calculations. By the end of year 6 ( so only year and a half later) she started GCSE maths work enabling her to achieve the prestigious 'G' and was presented this award at a ceremony by the mayor of Northamptonshire this year in February. She is now very confident in her maths and works so quickly in comparison with other children in her class that she is very often praised by her teachers. Of course there are children that have achieved even better results through Kumon but we are still very proud of her. Although she still says that it’s a hard work, she is proud of her results and appreciate that she had a chance to do the programme. My younger daughter always struggled with maths and lacked confidence so we were very concerned about her learning. She had so many gaps that she had to start at a very basic level and still struggled with simple addition/subtraction as well as with being able to concentrate on her task. Berta has adapted her work so she could cope better with the workload and although it has been challenging at times she has now managed to catch up and gained a lot of confidence. In a way, she has benefited from the programme more than her sister. she has improved radically at school and her teachers are very impressed with the progress she made. Kumon can work for children with a different abilities but it requires dedication and determination from parents and children.

The Kumon programmes in English and Maths have helped my two children develop not only their academic skills but also their self-confidence and discipline. I can see the benefits of starting them at a young age too.

My son started Kumon Maths after taking his SATS. I thought it was a bit too late to start and my son was not particularly struggling at school, but one of my friends said that Kumon can help secondary school students, as they need to be able to calculate rapidly and accurately for GCSE Maths. In the beginning, I could see that his concentration was easily disrupted. It took about a year for his concentration to improve. Along with this, we saw an improvement at school. Now, he has more confidence not only for maths, but also for the other subjects. Without instructor Berta's guidance and support, he couldn't have got to his current standard, near the top of his class. She has extensive experience and boundless enthusiasm for children's education and future prospects.

My daughter only joined Kumon few months ago and her progress has already been phenomenal. She only just turned 4 and is starting school in September 2018. My wife and I always struggled to get her to focus and concentrate on learning. However, since joing Kumon, coupled with the coaching and guidance from Berta Rapoz, my wife and I have noticed an immediate improvement in her general attitude and performance. She now focus more, she is more independent, enjoys learning maths and english and she is also more disciplined. We are both very thankful she joined Kumon and are very proud of the progress and transformation she has made in such a short period of time. She is more confident and looking forward to starting school in September. I would recommend Kumon to all parents who are keen on on their child's progress,confidence, discipline and academic performance

My son has joined the Kumon South centre for nearly 3 years now. I am very happy with the way Berta instructed us through with our child’s learning. I am also impressed by her ability to take care of every details about each child and helped them in a personalized way. The support throughout lock down situation was tremendous which helped my child thrive. Myself personally received wise advices from Berta about raising the kids as parenting has always been a really hard job and sometimes I just did not know what to do. A huge thanks to Berta and her team for their hard work and dedication.

My daughter Alexandra has been studying Maths and English with Kumon for a year now. She has always loved school and the challenges set for her. At first she found the work very easy as they all have to start at the basic level. Over the last few months, she has found it more challenging moving up through the next levels. Alexandra was given extra work last Summer, as Berta thought she was doing well and could aim for the Maths bronze level. Even though she is a hardworking, motivated student, it wasn't always easy to get her to do the work, especially when we were on holiday. Alexandra was really proud to achieve her bronze award on the 'Award Ceremony day', seeing all the other children and what they had also achieved really boosted her confidence in her own abilities. Alexandra recently passed the assessment and was awarded a place at the school she really wanted. We realise this is largely down to the Kumon study. The program encourages hard work, resilience and perseverance, providing an excellent foundation for advancement in education. Kumon provides an invaluable service, instilling a desire to achieve in this ever challenging world we live in.

My three children did kumon. My daughter did maths and my other 2 children did both maths and English. After joining kumon all my children did well on both maths and English in school. My daughter is now doing GCSE and her strong subject is maths and is doing well in maths, after joining all my children are doing well in both the subjects. I would recommend kumon to anyone . It is a very good programme and Berta is a very good instructor. She is very kind and explains well for the parents. As a parent we also have to support both the child and the instructor. Thank you Berta .

My Daughter Started Kumon 10 Months ago. Initially started with English after joining kumon she has improved writing, reading and vocabulary skills. She gained lot of confidence in speaking English with others. Now she started with Maths she also performing well in Maths. So I strongly recommend kumon and especially thanks to Berta for her support and guidance. Regards NK

I registered my daughter a few years ago for Maths and English kumon and because of the impact it had on her, I decided to register my 5 year old son with English in July 2018. I can boldly say that I am very impressed with my son's progress in his school work. He can read any book fluently,his writing and vocabulary skills is unbelievable. Berta's energy and commitment has really helped to boost my son's self confidence and development in his approach to his work and on this basis would strongly recommend Kumon. Regards Tope

I started Kumon for my son last year to rebuild his confidence in Maths and encourage him to challenge himself. I am very pleased with his results both at school and at home and how he is more confident whilst doing all the work. Thanks Berta.. really appreciate all your dedication and hard work. " I was not very happy doing all the work given to me at Kumon but slowly I realised that all the work was rebuilding my confidence and making me better and quicker ."

Our child joined Kumon 7months ago and this has had positive impact on his academics.His hand writing ,number formations, finger spacing, attention to details and concentration on his Kumon and class work has improved and was also acknowledged by his class teachers . Thank you Berta for your effort to make the best out of every child regardless of their abilities.

My son joined Kumon during year 5, he is now in year 6. We have found the structure of the work and environment has helped with entrance exams for secondary schools. The work completed in Kumon in both English and maths has helped him achieve a school report where he is exceeding in all areas! He enjoys the work and the challenge of the work.

m. t.

Kumon has been great and its the best decision I have made for my two daughters. The programme is perfect as both girls study Maths and English and have daily work to do. The benefit of Kumon is that your child works at their individual level and they dont move on to the next until they have mastered the level, this has given our girls so much confidence. Berta Rapoz has been amazing she provides support for both parents and the students and constantly monitors progress with regular feedback. Both my dauhters are top in the class at thier school and their confidence is sky high and they enjoy maths so much more as they are mastering skills which they have not even started at school.

My Child Joined Kumon 14 months ago. She has been studying both subjects from the very start. She has always been good at English, but the Kumon method, has ensured her basic English is shockproof and has encouraged her to work at speed and know the basics instinctively. With Maths, in the beginning she wasn’t that confident but with Berta’s help and Kumon method combined she has excelled. Children repeat the same worksheet over and over again. And yes this method has really helped and catapult her maths understanding high. It is true that repeating help kids get faster at their maths and practice does make perfect. From finger counting to not finger counting just working out the equations in the head. It’s been amazing to see the progression in my child. This has helped my child focus on improving her arithmetic, which means when she comes across a maths problem, the arithmetic part of the question she finds it easy. Though through this journey sometimes has a parent, they has been challenging times, when I have felt I can’t tutor my own child because she is not cooperating or very tired from school or we are too busy with little time to spare but yes I have managed with Berta’s helpful advice, understanding and encouragement, Which has been fantastic. In addition to this learning alongside my child has set an amazing positive example. Also this has encouraged her to try to work things out by herself with guidance where needed. However It's definitely something you have to stick at for the long-term to see benefits. If you only want to do it for a year or so, then it's probably not the right thing for you. Thank you Berta for the amazing work you have done with my child.

I have joined Kumon for my son Janav. He has gained his self confidence since he has joined. I can see further development in his skills. All credit goes to Berta who has been really working hard. I would highly recommend. Berta is always helpful and answers any questions. Berta always resolves any issue or concern I have for my son. Thank you so much Berta for playing an important role in my son's life. I really appreciate.

My daughter studied with Berta from the age of 3 and the only reason we had to leave the centre was because we moved. My daughter benefited incredibly from Kumon and this is the reason she is academically where she is today, which I appreciate so much. The work that went into my daughter archiving what she did is down to Berta. On the back of that I then gave my son the option to do Kumon and he chose to do it. We were previously at another centre but had to move due to unforeseen circumstances and now he is with Berta at Kumon centre where my daughter originally started. They are both very different children but Berta has been able to get him to achieve many goals from reading to writing correctly to not having to count on his hands. This is a great achievement. Personally I am very grateful to Berta and to how much work she puts in. My children have benefited considerably and for that reason I recommend Kumon to anyone.

V. A.

My son started doing Kumon in Feb 2018 and he will start mainstream school in Sept.He is doing really well and able to recognize sentences and his vocabulary is wonderful. His discipline and focus has improved as well.We are grateful to Berta for the help&support.I hope that he will do really well in school. Thanks, Vinu.

S. S.

Having been with Kumon, and specifically under the guidance of Berta, it is without reservation that we would recommend Kumon. The structured approach of Berta, together with a strong commitment from us has culminated in our daughter being in a strong and confident position to meet the academic challenges of school. Highly recommend this programme to give your child the best possible start with their education.

K. B.

I strongly recommend kumon, it brings discipline in your child's life and teach them to focus in their studies. Their programme is so well designed that it makes your child self dependent. Kumon is the best example of how to learn with your mistakes. I have seen a big improvement in my daughter's studies and she also got very good school report. She already got gold in maths and is half way of the english .Iam very happy with kumon and I really appreciate the hard work and efforts of instructor Berta.

f. o.

My son have started kumon (early 2016) and later my daughter and son joined in (2017). My children have excelled in their subject my sons has started to grow in confidence in areas they use to dislike such as reading and writing while my daughter has grown confident in maths. I am forever grateful for the work Berta does for my children. In fact of it was not for kumon my son would have passed his year 2 SATS.

j. j.

I have my two daughters at Kumon Northampton south.They did both maths and english. Kumon method of study and it's international standard made them good progress in the school. Kumon method made them learn independently and if they are struggling Bertha was always there to support them. I would recommend Kumon Northampton south study centre.

G. B.

Kumon has delivered for my children what it says on the tin - my boys both joined just before they started school and it has helped to give them a clear head start in English and subsequently maths when they took it up. The daily practice of these subjects cannot be underestimated. Thank you Berta for your dedication to driving excellence in our children.

L. A.

Very pleased with all the hard work that Mrs Berta did for all the children that are in the kumon family and specially for my daughter. A massive "thank you" for continuing her job during this pandemic, with online classrooms and great support for my daughter who continued to work hard for achieving the gold medal. Thank you for creating great minds and for your dedication!

My 4 year old started Kumon (English) in July 2018 and his progress ever since has been excellent. We have been doing the booklets every day ever since, seemed hard in the beginning, but once the child gets into the routine he will ask for them. Berta has been very supportive, she keeps a thorough record of the child's progress and when doing the review for the next level up will provide a predicted evolution. I was really impressed with that! Since December we also started doing the Maths programme. I am very pleased, as the programme helps the child develop a work ethic, not only English and Maths skills. Sometimes it is hard, especially when the child needs to do his homework for school, as it is extra work, but once we worked that out, the programme really helps the child develop literacy and maths skills. I am very pleased with the programme and I highly reccomend it.

j. j.

My son had a significant improvement in English and Maths since he joined Kumon Northampton . His school teachers also confirmed it .His daily activities and routine work pattern gives him more confidence .Tutors in grange park are very friendly and Bertha gives us honest report, feedbacks and regular tips to support him well. Thank you Bertha.

My little girl has been attending Kumon for the last couple of years. I must admit, it wasn't easy in the first year, trying to get her to do extra work after a full day at school. But, perservence does pay off. She has improved drastically in Arithmetic. Her speed of solving problems is quicker and more importantly accurate. Noticeable change in the past year is her overall focus when she attends the classes and does her worksheets. It is pleasing to see her capitalise and utilise her time and intelligence in a constructive manner. Kumon has helped her gain confidence in her ability of Maths and problem solving.

J. B.

As an undergraduate at university, Kumon helped improved my academic capabilities in English, thus allowing me to undertake English Literature at A-Level and ameliorate my writing skills. I also worked as an employee at Kumon while at college as I wanted to give back. This centre has a positive working environment and it was encouraging to be part of an institution that shapes and encourages young minds. English was instrumental in pursuing my career goals which are focused on Media Studies; English is essential in this field whether it is writing articles or scripting, and my time at Kumon has proved to substantially help me achieve top grades both at GCSE and A-Level for Media Studies and English, consequently granting me admission into my top choice of university.

K. A.

My son started Kumon's Maths and English classes last year September 2017. He has since established a lot .. like daily study routine more confidently and had a great progess in both the subjects.
