About our centre
The Brackenhurst Kumon Study Centre has been helping students grow in confidence and ability since 1998. With over 250 students ranging from preschoolers to high schoolers, we tailor each child’s learning journey to their unique abilities, allowing them to progress at their own pace. Through Kumon’s proven maths and English programmes, we aim to equip students with strong study skills, a love for learning, and the confidence to tackle challenges independently.
At the heart of our centre is a dedicated and experienced team. Our instructor, Kathryn Van Meter (BSc in Mathematics, Postgraduate Certificate in Education), was once a Kumon student herself and has worked at the Brackenhurst centre for over a decade. She trained under our previous owner, Jill, who has over 30 years of experience in education and holds a Bachelor’s in Education. Jill continues to work with our youngest students, laying the foundation for their academic success. Our English department is overseen by Jessica (BA in English, Literature, and Linguistics), ensuring students develop strong reading and comprehension skills.
We believe in fostering a warm, encouraging environment where students feel supported in their learning. Communication with parents is a top priority, as we work together to help each child reach their full potential. Our open-plan centre allows for close observation of students, creating a space that is both structured and welcoming. Conveniently located on Roy Campbell Street, we offer ample parking and on-site security for peace of mind.
At Kumon Brackenhurst, we are committed to nurturing confident, independent learners. We look forward to partnering with you in your child’s educational journey!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
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.
