Josie’s Story

Josie


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.

Future problem solver - Third place

Akshara

“Your success will be determined by your own confidence and fortitude.” —Michelle Obama Kumon plays a huge role in building your child's confidence to take on greater challenges in life. This has been completely true in my daughter's case. The academic success that she has achieved prompted her to try out new things as she entered middle school this year.


4rth place Spelling Bee

Abhigna modified

From being a dyslexic child to achieving 4th place in their spelling bee, in a K-8 school, beating 8th graders is almost like a miracle to me. We trusted the Kumon process 100% and hence the results.


What parents are saying

Kumon is what was missing in my daughter’s education. School math was not a challenge, and now she is not only continuing to excel, but winning competitions and is more intellectually curious. Speed and accuracy drills work, period. Kumon will push your child, and the rewards will be amazing. Coupled with increased difficulty at an appropriate pace, the program makes me believe she can achieve great things in mathematics. I can’t think of a better investment to make in her future. The staff are also incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. I enthusiastically recommend it to every parent.
