With decades of experience, Kumon knows how to help franchisees create businesses that are emotionally and financially rewarding. You’ll guide kids through a long-term program that ensures they master math, reading and writing while building essential skills for success like setting goals and developing the grit to achieve those goals. You’ll work close to home, build relationships and contribute to your community.
Your Branch Manager and Field Consultant will support you, and the connections you make at trainings and conferences will provide you with a ready source of business-building ideas and encouragement.
Kumon is unique among education franchises because it’s not tutoring (despite Entrepreneur ranking us #1 in the tutoring category for the past two decades).
Instead, you’ll guide kids through an enrichment program that complements schoolwork while ensuring nothing is missed in math, reading and writing. Kids can stay for years as they work through the levels of the program, and parents often enroll all their kids, offering you financial stability.
With Kumon, you can offer parents a long-term solution to help their kids excel academically in ways they never thought possible. Kumon helps all kids develop critical thinking, increase focus, improve study habits, become more organized and learn to be problem-solvers.
The extra enrichment kids receive in Kumon helps them catch up, but it’s seeing them advance to work at levels well above their current grade and the skills they develop, including grit, time management and focus, that have parents so excited about Kumon. Offering Kumon to teachers and parents to help kids reach their full potential will benefit the entire community, and will make lots of parents (and teachers) happy!
