STUDENTS FIND THE flexibility which Kumon offers helps in their learning process. Kumon's method allows students to study subjects at a much higher level than they are taught in the classroom.

A primary student with ability can advance progressively to tackle maths, Chinese and English-language courses usually taught in Form Four or Form Five.

Barry Wo, 12, a Form One student, who recently finished the whole Kumon Chinese syllabus, said the Kumon method removed restrictions on learning and allowed him to advance to higher-grade materials.

'It enabled me to learn and study at my own pace instead of being confined to my school grading. I can now go forward according to my ability and I am able to study Form Three or Four materials in Kumon,' he said.

Wo, who has studied in Kumon for more than seven years, said it was a good learning experience with interesting study materials.

'Despite the increase in homework, studying in Kumon is not a burden. I can manage my school and Kumon studies well. It also provides an opportunity to temper myself and develop an important virtue in life - perseverance,' he said.

'The opportunity to study higher-grade courses helps build an analytical mind, which will guide me in my future development. It is my dream to become a scientist.'
