Kumon Maths & English / Dubai Silicon Oasis Centre
About Kumon
Kumon teaches maths and English through short, step-by-step daily worksheets, with each child working at their own level rather than their school year. There are Kumon centres across Dubai, from Business Bay and City Walk to Mirdif and Dubai Silicon Oasis. Families can choose to study in the centre or online, on paper worksheets or a tablet, and every child starts with a free diagnostic test. Each centre has its own instructor, class days and contact details, and pick a branch on this page to see them. At Dubai Silicon Oasis, instructor Bushra MV holds a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Mathematics and started at Kumon as an Assistant Instructor; that team sends parents a daily note on whether worksheets are done and meets every parent monthly to go over progress.
The activity
Maths Tutor, explained
Kumon is a self-learning programme in maths and English built on short daily worksheets. Each worksheet is one small step harder than the last, and a child only moves on once they have truly absorbed an idea, so progress is steady rather than rushed. The worksheets include worked examples, which lets children work out new topics for themselves, and the work is timed to build fluency as well as accuracy. An instructor watches children work, checks their pages and sets the right level. Daily work takes about 30 minutes per subject, done in the centre or at home, and the worksheets run from counting to calculus and from early phonics to Shakespeare.
Who it's for
Children who want to build maths and English skills, whether they are catching up, building foundations or working ahead of their school level. Kumon says it welcomes children with special educational needs as well as gifted children. The starting age depends on the centre: Dubai Silicon Oasis, Dubai Hills and Mirdif welcome children of all ages, while City Walk, Furjan, The Greens, JVC, The Sustainable City, Business Bay, Dubai Knowledge Park and Sobha Hartland say 6 and up. Ask your centre if you are unsure.
What to expect
Start with the online enquiry form or a message to your centre; the instructor then arranges your child's free diagnostic test, a short test that shows their current level and the topics to work on. After that your child begins an individual study plan under the instructor's eye, in the centre or in an online class, on paper or tablet. Daily work takes about 30 minutes per subject, and on home days parents mark the worksheets with answer books Kumon provides. Class days differ by centre and class times are not published, so ask the centre you pick.
