Student of the month for November 2022: Olivia
We are proud to announce November's student of the month: Olivia.
Olivia reached level C by grade 1, which is a huge milestone and an outstanding achievement!
Olivia has been a Kumon student for almost a year now. She is in grade 2 and is currently more than halfway done C level math (multiplication and division). She started in 3A math back in November of 2021.
We love her dedication and willingness to learn, she is a pleasure to have in our class. She works diligently and efficiently, and is one of our most focused students!
Something Olivia enjoys about Kumon is the style of teaching and the easy way of explaining the concepts for students to understand.
Olivia is proud of herself for her progress and success in multiplications. She did not expect that she could grasp and understand it very quickly, and knowing the multiplication makes everything about division very easy.
Her next goal is to start formal division, while watching her alignment and focusing on where to put her quotients. And after that? The sky is the limit!
Student of the month for October 2022: Edwin
We would like to introduce October's student of the month: Edwin!
Edwin has been a Kumon student since may of 2016 (that is almost 6 and a half years!); when he started, he was on level B math and level 2A for reading. He is currently in grade 9 and completed the reading program in June of this year. In his photo he can be seen holding his award for completion. For math, he is on level L, with only 3 more levels to go, and then he will be a 2 subject completer. What an amazing Kumon path he has had so far!
When we asked Edwin what he was most proud of himself for, he said completing the reading program. His favourite story in the Kumon worksheets was Shakespeare's Hamlet, found in level L, and a story he found challenging was Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen. For math, his favourite notion is factoring and working with quadratic equations, and something he found challenging was graphing parabolas.
Edwin's advice to other Kumon students is to be patient and work through the hard times. It will pay off, he says.
The most helpful and rewarding thing Kumon has taught him is to endure and work hard!
We are so proud of Edwin's hard work, resilience and dedication. We hope the program will serve him well in high school and in his future academic pursuits.
