At Kumon, you are both the business owner of your own franchise and the Kumon Instructor . You have to manage the day-to-day business operations and work with Kumon students. 

Typically, training takes place at the local offices. It is compulsory for candidates to attend this training. Upon completion of the 4-week New Instructor Training course, follow-up training are provided after the commencement of your Centre to ensure that the operations of your Centre meets the strict requirements of Kumon.

Topics covered in the training include:

• Kumon principles
• The Kumon Method, curriculum, and learning materials
• Student assessment and enrolment
• The effective implementation of study programmes
• Communication with parents and students
• Centre management strategies
• Centre administration, policies, and procedures

At Kumon, we believe in providing greater accessibility for students to attend Kumon. As such, we will evaluate the opportunity in locations nationwide. The decision will be made and discussed during the application process.

All new Kumon Instructors must offer both the Maths and English programmes within their Kumon Learning Centre.

Each test covers a range of basic arithmetic and reading comprehension exercises in English and/or native language.

We do not believe in charging our franchisees high at the start and making a one-time sale to support our business model. Rather, we want to support those who share the same belief as Kumon and are passionate about the education of students. Do you know that it only requires anywhere between RM 100,000 to RM 150,000 to set up a Kumon centre on average— inclusive of franchise fees, renovation and rental?

Yes, you can! Many of our franchisees came in with little to no experience in teaching, from professionals, executives to homemakers etc. The instructor training is specifically designed to impart the principles of effective teaching by providing a range of theory and practical skills for instructing Kumon students, as well as communication skills and knowledge in centre management.

As the curriculum and learning materials are standardised in every Kumon learning centre, the programme fee is thus fixed. However, our franchisees are responsible for managing variable costs that may impact their bottom line, such as rental, salaries etc.

Since each Kumon franchise is independently owned and does not report its total income to us, we cannot provide a hard number. However, as part of your franchisee training, you’ll develop a business plan that can assist you in projecting your revenues and expenses. Join us at our Franchise Orientation to find out more! We also encourage you to speak directly to fellow franchise owners for more information.
