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.

Vasee's Story
Vasee joined Kumon’s Reading Program six months back. In the initial Kumon days, my son was little bit bored and not interested in reading and writing in the class, as well as at home. We did not lose hope and made a decision to stick with Kumon classes. Mrs. Mehak and I came up with an alternate approach like changing his class timing, reducing the homework, etc. Finally it worked very well. Three months later we saw great improvements with him and now he is only 4 yrs old and has started to read the kindergarten books so well; thanks to Mrs. Mehak (Kumon Instructor).

Nicholas's Story
When someone asks me about my experience with Kumon, I only have excellent comments.
We have been enrolled at the Kumon Center for almost 9 months, and I have seen a vast improvement in my son's reading and comprehension. His math skills are also impressive as he is now one of the top students in his own class.
I would highly recommend Kumon to others and will enroll my younger children in Kumon very soon, too!
