Lynn Fernandes - Kumon Instructor

Lynn has been the Kumon Instructor in Barnet since 1996. She has four children of her own, all of whom have studied Kumon so she knows at first-hand the benefits of long-term Kumon study. Having previously been an accountant, Lynn opted to become a Kumon Instructor after she decided to change careers following her full time return to work after the birth of her fourth child.

Lynn was initially attracted to Kumon as a system which she immediately saw would help so many children. The extra practice of basic skills coupled with the all-important focus on the child working at their own pace makes the Kumon programme stand out over any other programme. Lynn was delighted to discover that Kumon was of equal benefit to those high-flying children who can sometimes become bored with their maths and English lessons at school. She realised that these children still need to build their basic skills and mental agility, but they also need to be challenged and to develop their self-learning skills and independence as they study work ahead of their school grade level.

Lynn says:
"It is very exciting to be able to help those students who are struggling with their school lessons, as well as challenging those students who are excelling in maths and English. I love the opportunity to be involved with the education of individual students over many years, often seeing them develop their skills from primary school to GCSE level and beyond."

In September 2011 Lynn was presented with a certificate by Kumon Educational UK to mark her 15 years as an Instructor.

In a statement she said:

"Thank you so much to all my students, both past and present who have helped to make my time as a Kumon Instructor so rewarding. Thank you also to all my assistants who have helped make the Barnet Kumon Centre so successful in helping children achieve their potential in both maths and English."

About Us
When new students arrive at the centre, they swap their completed homework for new work for the following week and are given feedback on their completed homework. They then sit down and complete their classwork. Students would typically be in class for 20-40 minutes per subject.

The class work may be a test, or new work which the student may need guidance to complete. Whilst the student is completing their class work, their homework is being checked and recorded by the centre's team of assistants. Along with me, the team is on hand to provide guidance where necessary.

When the student has completed their class work it will be marked by an assistant. Once the work has been marked students must correct any mistakes made.

As motivational tools we have a sticker system in place for completion of homework and students may receive special 100% stickers for perfect class work. Stickers are saved on a card and every full card can be exchanged for WH Smith vouchers. Students also receive certificates whenever they successfully complete tests for a level of work.

Twice a year we celebrate the student's achievements and hopefully motivate other students to aim high by providing students who have reached exceptional levels for their age with special bronze, silver and gold certificates. Students completing the whole programme receive a framed Completer certificate, and other milestones are marked along the way.
