Kumon Warradale Education Centre, in Adelaide’s southeast, is now operating under the guidance of a new Instructor, Jovie Chong!

Jovie has a 15-year career spanning different industries. He has also worked with children in a volunteering role, and it is this passion that he is hoping to pursue as the new Instructor of Kumon Warradale.

“I’ve spent time volunteering with pre-schoolers and working closely with students of different ages, helping them with schoolwork and encouraging them to take pride in their learning”, Jovie says. “I love seeing that spark in a child’s eyes when something clicks. I’m here to help make that happen.”

Jovie says the development of self-learning skills is the most valuable aspect of Kumon for students. He wants each of his students at Kumon Warradale to acquire the skill of self-learning.

“[Kumon] is the programme to guide students to solve problems on their own and cultivate good habits and skills sets to solve problems on their own”, Jovie explains.

“This self-learning encourages the students to study independently from an early age and develop both a high level of academic ability and ‘self-learning’ ability. As a result, our students build self-esteem, learn that they can do anything if they try, and develop the ability and skills to take on new challenges for themselves.”

Kumon Warradale Education Centre is located at The Corner Uniting Church, 93 Oaklands Road, Warradale, SA 5046. Classes operate on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday afternoons from 2pm to 6:30pm.
