Education is the means by which children prepare for life. As a KUMON instructor, I hope to instill in each one of my students a feeling of success so that he or she may grow to have many opportunities in life.

I grew up in Tokyo, Japan, where KUMON has been widely known and respected as the leading supplemental education program for nearly 50 years. I am grateful for the opportunity to operate a KUMON Math & Reading Center in Park Slope, where our mission is to guide students to master the complex math and reading skills that are the foundation for all learning.

I share KUMON’s belief that every child can succeed. The program is student-centered and goal-oriented. It is differentiated to meet each individual child at his or her independent level, without frustration. KUMON students are directly involved in setting and meeting their own goals, so they recognize that they are a big part of their own success. This self-paced, individualized study program enables each student to become a confident, self-motivated learner, poised to achieve his or her full potential. KUMON truly is a learning method that empowers students to ultimately succeed on their own!

I hope to have the opportunity to make a constructive contribution to your child’s future.
