What is KUMON?

Kumon is a method of learning initiated in 1954 that started as home education for mathematics. Toru Kumon (1914-1995), of Japan, was a high school math teacher, as well as the originator of this method of learning. Toru's approach to teaching mathematics was a direct result of his own wish to instruct his son more thoroughly. The success of this educational strategy is without question, and because of its effectiveness it has risen in popularity and is now used in forty-seven countries and regions, with 4.43 million subject enrolments worldwide (as of March 2012).
