Kumon is now open in Helensvale, on Queensland’s Gold Coast, to help all local children develop confidence in the basics of maths and reading.

Kumon Helensvale Education Centre is led by Amy Zou, a former high school teacher and financial manager. Amy chose to become a Kumon Instructor to follow her passion for education and to make a difference in her local community.

“Having taught locally in the past, I understand the unique needs and aspirations of Helensvale’s students”, Amy says. “Now, I want to take that insight into Kumon, offering a program that not only strengthens academic skills but also fosters the confidence and discipline children need to thrive, both in school and beyond.”

“My goal is to make my centre a welcoming hub where families know their child’s progress is cared for by someone who genuinely understands and cherishes our community.”

Amy says she looks forward to working with each individual student, and watching them grow and develop under her guidance.

“What excites me most about becoming a Kumon instructor is the opportunity to witness each child’s progress closely”, Amy explains. “Kumon’s individualised approach to learning allows me to guide students at their own pace, ensuring they build confidence and mastery step by step. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a child’s face light up when finally grasp a concept they once struggled with.”

“I love that Kumon focuses on long-term growth, not just short-term results. As an Instructor, I would have the privilege of nurturing students’ foundational skills in maths and reading, helping them develop self-discipline, independence, and a love for learning that will benefit them for life.”

Kumon Helensvale is located at 4/1-9 Lindfield Road, Helensvale, QLD 4212. Classes operate on Mondays and Fridays from 3pm to 6pm, and Tuesdays and Thursdays on 8am to 9am and 3pm to 6pm.
