Sonakshi Mondal
Sonakshi Mondal was in Kindergarten when her parents enrolled her into Kumon Math program in Jan 2019. Within months her parents noticed the change in Sonakshi’s mental calculation skills and decided to enroll her in the reading program as well.
She transferred to Kumon Bartley Square in July 2021. She was already a strong Kumon student and had developed all the skills of an independent learner.
Sonakshi says “I am happy that I am in Kumon. Kumon has helped me become more dedicated, determined and focused in my studies. One day, I want to become an Astronaut, Teacher and a Writer. I am aware that if I don’t study, I will not be able to achieve what I want to. Kumon has made me smarter ‘
Her parents are equally committed and believe in the Kumon program. “Kumon has increased her confidence immensely not only in studies but in life as well. She is very happy if her teachers and friends and family praise her. She knows that studies are important to grow in life. Kumon has helped Sonakshi focus, be disciplined, determined, dedicated towards her studies. She is an intelligent child and I am happy that Kumon is challenging her to excel in her academics. Challenges are important in life to grow. We all know Knowledge is Power. If a child has a strong base, nothing will be impossible to achieve in this life. With these skills we would like to encourage her to compete in Math Olympiad and spelling bee competitions which will boost her confidence”. Sonakshi’s mom adds “I am really thankful to the teachers and their team who are doing tremendous hard work and dedication, are guiding the Kumon students to excel in life.”
Sonakshi’s hobbies are painting and drawing, playing her piano, learning new songs, writing stories. She is very much interested in playing basketball, soccer, reading different kinds of books specially about space and astronauts. Along with this her extracurricular activities include Taekwondo and learning the classical form of dance, Bharatnatyam.
Sonakshi has a bright future and with her dedication and commitment along with constant support from her parents, she is on the right path to success!!!

Kumon Rocks!!!
One of my students decided to do a "KUMON ROCKS" Zentangle for a recently organized virtual Zentangle Art session during the pandemic.
"Hi, I'm Surmeet, I joined the Kumon reading program when I was 6. It helped me learn how to read, and now reading has become my hobby. This motivated me to join the Kumon math program, which is helping me to enhance my problem-solving skills and perform good in school."
