Thavaisya's Success Story
Hi! I'm Thavaisya and I'm 11 years old. I'm now in level J in
Reading and level I in Math, and have acquired my G by 5 stars for both subjects. Since I've been doing Kumon since the age of 4 it's kind of like having a part of school with me at all times. But I guess this "Kumon schoolwork" helped land me into the gifted program for math and reading in my elementary school. I couldn't have done it without Kumon's supportive "network" of Kumon assistants. They've helped me through all the times I thought my head would burst, and most of all motivated me to keep reaching, and of course never hesitate to ask for help. Eventually, when I was reaching, I caught hold of something big, and in my case I landed myself in PA, or Project Arrow, a program in which you do work two years above your grade level in middle school. But there's a big difference from school and Kumon. In school I'm the one who has the answers as I have already learnt through Kumon. In Kumon I'm the one who needs them. There's no level in Kumon that I could've mastered without the help of the Kumon Instructor. Also, I couldn't have mastered the art of pushing myself in school without Kumon's help either. Kumon continues to teach me a BIG lesson, and such lessons don't just apply for school, but also helped me improve in being a self learner and a successful student. Just because you're good at something it doesn't mean you can't be better!

I am Alison and I started Kumon at Mr.Vasee's center in 2011 when I was in first grade. It has been helping me a lot with my Math calculations. In school, when I do the same thing over again in Math class, it feels like I am reviewing and I'm also much more confident. Now I can do my Math calculations faster. I also attend the Kumon Reading program. It has increased my vocabulary and helped me a lot with my reading comprehension. Now when I am reading books, I understand what I am reading. I think both Kumon Math and Reading has helped me a lot with my school work.
Prarthana's Success Story
My name is Prarthana and I have been enrolled in Kumon for the past 7 years. I started with both Math and Reading programs at age 5 and currently doing Math only. I am in 7th grade in school and in Kumon Math program I am in Level K. I am more than 3 years above my grade level. Kumon has helped me in various ways. Ever since I started, I have been ahead in class. Kumon has also helped me remember concepts, hence allowing me to easily teach other students.
Recently, at school, I was given an amazing opportunity of skipping a grade level in Math. I was supposed to be doing Algebra I (9th grade Math) in 7th grade. My teacher, believing I was too advanced, gave me the opportunity to skip 7th grade and go to 8th grade-Geometry. Kumon has been a huge factor in me getting this opportunity. I am very thankful to Kumon for helping me achieve so much, and I am sure it will continue to help me as well as other fellow Kumon students.
