Ready to Unlock Your Child's Learning Potential?

Juma Forazi

I grew up in Bedford Park—my journey began at PS 8, just two blocks from this center, and continued through MS 118 Pace Academy, Brooklyn Technical High School, and Hunter College, where I graduated cum laude with a degree in Human Biology. This is the community that raised me, and now it’s the community I get to serve.

I’ve been part of Kumon for ten years, starting as an assistant and now leading a center that has served this community for almost three decades. A big part of how I connect with students comes from being in their position not too long ago. I understand what it feels like to balance school, expectations, and everything happening outside the classroom. That understanding shapes the way I encourage, challenge, and support each student.

My goal is simple: to meet each student where they are, help them strengthen their foundation, and build the kind of confidence that lasts far beyond the classroom. I look forward to meeting your family and showing you what your child is capable of achieving.
