Josie’s Story
Josie is 10-years-old, studying three years above her grade level in the Kumon Program. In fact, she’s studying the same math material that her mom, who is an eighth grade teacher, teaches her students. Imagine that, a 10-year-old transforming equations, working with linear functions and simplifying monomials and polynomials. She’s well on her way to advanced algebraic expressions and she isn’t even in middle school yet.
One of the things that Josie likes most about Kumon is the fact that she’s studying above her grade level.
“Kumon gives me confidence because I know how strong of a student it has made me,” says Josie. “I know that I can do and learn anything if I do the work and practice daily. Kumon has taught me about the importance of focusing and to not be afraid of challenges, but to enjoy them and work through them because I know I can overcome anything.”
Josie embodies everything that Toru Kumon had in mind when he founded the Kumon Method. He felt that students would experience the true benefits of the Kumon Method if they acquired the study habits necessary for self-learning and advanced study.

Jenan is an amazing woman who is very sweet and good with the kids. She is professional, helpful and accommodating when it comes to scheduling issues or needing extra help. She gives the student teacher relationship a whole new meaning. My kids ask to call her everyday. I am glad we chose her center over anyone else.

My son Patrick was struggling in school, and he has flourished now since we started Kumon. The combination of the owner’s attention and passion for her work, coupled with the disciplined design of the program has aided my son’s ability to read, write, and do basic math at a much quicker pace. Again, I really appreciate and can’t say enough about the owner/manager’s passion for her work and her staff reflects this as well.

My husband and I decided to enroll in Kumon for support in reading for our 6 year old daughter. With virtual learning and homeschooling she became less engaged and not wanting to read. We are so happy with our decision! Kumon and her teacher, Jenan, are amazing!! In just one month her confidence was back and she wanted to read all the time! She was excited to read to us and her teacher! Her report card stated she was “growing as a reader and writer by leaps and bounds !” Thank you Jenan for helping our star shine and feel she can take on any word or sentence!! We love Kumon!
