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.

Words from a Happy Parent
My 4th grader recently started Kumon Ramsey for Reading and Math. She was in 2nd grade when the Covid stay-at-home orders were put in place and we switched to remote learning. For a 2nd grader and then a 3rd grader, it was tough for her to remain focused and engaged in online learning and her academics suffered. She was behind in reading and struggling with Math. I was considering another math only enrichment center but ended up going with Kumon Ramsey because they offer both the Math and Reading enrichment at one location.
So far it has been amazing for my daughter -- She has shown a lot of improvement and interest in learning after joining here and is starting to enjoy reading were it almost seemed like a chore in the past. The staff is responsive, and Ms. Lee is always checking in on how she is doing. I can't say enough good things about our experience so far with Kumon Ramsey.
