AN AFTER-school learning centre in southern Geelong has relocated to a new venue.<\/p>\n

The Kumon Armstrong Creek Education Centre has opened the doors of its new home in Charlemont and renamed itself to Kumon Charlemont.<\/p>\n

Naik brings extensive experience and a passion for nurturing students’ confidence in mathematics and reading.<\/p>\n
