Learn about Kumon

The Kumon franchise was established in Japan by high school maths teacher Toru Kumon.  The paper-and-pencil tutoring program which encourages students in self-learning, is an English and Maths-based tutoring system that has been operating in Australia since 1984. Today there are nearly 300 franchisees across the country,working with more than 48,000 students.

Esther Head, public relations division leader at Kumon Australia and New Zealand, said “Our student enrolment numbers are more than business indices, they are indicative of the contribution Kumon makes towards society by supporting the learning of Australian children.

“Kumon’s individualised learning method can be tailored to suit the unique needs of each student. We want to provide as many Australian children as possible with the opportunity to learn with Kumon. We are looking for the right people to become Kumon franchisees to help us bring this goal into reality.”

Franchise support

To support with the opening of new centres, all new franchisees receive a kit that includes an initial supply of worksheets, learning materials used in conjunction with the worksheets, student enrolment kits, business cards, and promotional materials including an A-frame, flyers and posters.

Kumon worksheets are supplied to franchisees as part of the royalty costs. Kumon Australia covers the freight of these worksheets, and other materials from our warehouse to a franchise, for up to two shipments per month.

All signage and fit-out for new centres opening in commercially leased premises is provided by the franchisor, who also provides advertising materials to franchisees and supports the brand with corporate social media channels and broadcast campaigns.
