Matthew's Story

Matthew

Matthew began Kumon at a very early age. From the small tables and tiny chairs of the Kumon Center, Matthew embarked upon a journey that is destined to last him a lifetime. The courses have not only strengthened his Reading and Math skills, they have opened his outlook on the world. “Kumon gives me confidence,” he says. “When I am in class, I can confidently answer questions and understand what is being taught. And, when I travel with my family, I am able to connect with other cultures through Math and Reading.”

Often the passages in the Reading section are interesting and expose Matthew to subjects and places he might not have otherwise known about. What he likes best is that he can work at his own pace and take it with him wherever he goes. In fact, he has taken his Kumon with him to Japan, Korea, Italy, New York, Iowa, and Canada!

Now in 7th grade, Matthew has completed the entire Reading program and is on track to finish the Math program by high school. He admits it hasn’t always been easy. With baseball, piano, mathletes, and regular school homework, it doesn’t always leave a lot of time for Kumon, but he does it regardless. Matthew sums up his experience best, “I know in the long run, Kumon is helping.”
