Hello, my name is Sharon Naik and I am the Kumon Instructor of the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Chanhassen.
The Kumon Method, with its emphasis on mastery-based learning, appeals to me and I see it working every day with students from all backgrounds and learning levels. Nothing beats the joy of taking a 4 yr-old from learning the alphabet to becoming a fluent reader or seeing a student who is struggling with addition transform into a confident, eager student solving complex algebraic equations in middle school. And all this happens with no tears, no struggles, and no fears thanks to an excellent curriculum that presents the concepts in small, incremental steps.
My goal as an instructor is not only to help my students become excellent in math, reading and writing but also to make them excellent learners for the long run. I want them to develop an inquiring mind that engages with the larger world around them, and with Kumon, they will!
