Chiara's Kumon Journey
I have been a Kumon-Schonsee student since grade 3, and almost 6 years later I am beginning grade 10.
Saying that Kumon-Schonsee has been a great helping hand within my academic journey would be an understatement. Starting at a young age, I did not know Kumon would be a part of the reason of my academic success. I was a student in an Accelerated Math and Science program for junior high, but was able to learn well above my grade level at Kumon, which prepared me for the new and challenging material I would be learning at school.
Though Kumon does not offer a science course, I definitely felt as though I had the upper hand when it came to math-heavy topics like chemistry and physics. Year after year, semester after semester, I have obtained honors across all my subjects and graduated grade nine with a specialized math and science award. Kumon-Schonsee helped me at a young age become what some would call an “academic weapon.”
This has been a place where I can truly become the best student I can be, and I strongly believe it will continue to help me flourish for years to come.
Chloe's Success Story
Hello everyone! My name is Chloe Mok and I’m a former past student at Kumon Schonsee.
Currently I'm a highschool student and employed at the centre where I first started my Kumon journey. I'm here to talk about how Kumon has shaped me to become a successful individual through the Kumon program at the Kumon Schonsee location.
Kumon did not only improve my English but to accomplish a successful academic combat.
When I first started Kumon in 2015, I was only in 5th grade and my reading level was far behind where an average 5th grader should be. I've always believed that my English language was not at the same level as my peers whether through English classes or even having conversations with my friends. I was determined to overcome my fear and to improve that by starting at Kumon.
When I first started attending Kumon, comprehension was the number 1 struggle for me in school and soon made it a weakness for me, this was because English is my second language. In the beginning, Kumon was difficult for me because it's all a learning process. An example that can be considered is struggling to understand a certain paper after reading. It was extremely difficult for me because vocabulary wasn't always something I've worked on or had my best strength in. Kumon allowed me to expand on my vocabulary and how to properly understand how to comprehend certain readings. With lots of repetition, reading more often at higher levels, doing more homework and overcoming challenging exams at Kumon, I'm able to attempt higher level reading as well as understanding it too! During my years at Kumon, I successfully increased my reading ability and achieved Grade 9 level Reading in 8th grade by 2021. My most feared weakness is now my most proudest achievement. It helped me through the years of Junior High as well as High School because of how I was able to make myself a confident and determined individual.
This is my success story.
