- In building confidence, self-esteem and providing results for your child
- All children can succeed if given the right support
- Learning can be fun

English (Including vocabulary development and grammar)
KMEC provides tuition for students in mathematics between the ages of 5-17.
Students are taught to understand each new concept. The computer programs, textbooks, individual teaching and homework are used for practicing each newly introduced topic. The curriculum covers all the concepts that students between age 6 and high school graduation are expected to learn in school.
The Maths and English programmes are carefully designed so that each student works on their independent learning plan developed after the initial assessment. A student can start anywhere within the KMEC programmes at exactly the level suited to his/her current ability and knowledge.
What drives us – the global challenge
Imagine for a moment, if you can, if you were unable to use a computer because you could not read. If you were unable to fill out a form, apply for a job, read a novel, read a menu, drive a car, decipher a bus timetable, follow directions or protect your children from harm because you cannot read a label.
- According to UNICEF, nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names. Two-thirds of them are women.
- With almost 7 billion people on the planet, 1/6th of humanity is classified as illiterate.
The impact of illiteracy affects every community, every justice system and every economy in every country. People with the lowest levels of literacy are the least likely to be employed.
