About Your Instructor
Kim Kennedy
Q: What inspired you to become a Kumon Instructor?
A: My journey with Kumon started as a parent when my daughter was struggling with math. I decided to try Kumon - not only for her but for all three of my daughters. We made it a family goal to improve our math and reading skills together, and the results were incredible.
Q: What changes did you see in your children after starting Kumon?
A: In a short time, all three of my daughters were working above grade level. The phrase “I’m not good at math” disappeared from our homework table. One of my daughters, who rarely picked up a book before, began reading on her own - and really started to enjoy it.
Q: How does your background as a teacher influence your role as a Kumon Instructor?
A: As a former classroom teacher, I understand how challenging it can be for parents who want to help but aren’t sure how. I stepped away from traditional teaching to assist families with similar internal messages like mine. Kumon provides the structure, parents provide the discipline, and I, as the instructor, provide the small, manageable steps to help children achieve great things.
Q: What makes Kumon different from other learning programs?
A: Kumon is more than just math and reading practice. It nurtures independence, self-learning, time management, and confidence. It’s a proven global program with over 60 years of success, helping millions of children develop skills that last a lifetime.
Q: How does Kumon personalize learning for each child?
A: Every child learns at their own pace. At our centre, we tailor the Kumon method to meet each child’s individual needs - whether they need to catch up, stay on track, or move ahead. This personalized approach builds both skills and confidence.
Q: What kind of environment can parents and children expect at your Kumon Centre?
A: Our centre is a warm, family-focused space where children are encouraged and supported. We work closely with parents, offering regular feedback and flexible scheduling to fit busy family routines.
Q: Why should families choose your Kumon Centre?
A: Having experienced the benefits of Kumon personally, I’m passionate about helping other families unlock their children’s full potential. With our supportive team and the proven Kumon method, we’re ready to guide your child’s learning journey - one small step at a time.
We’ve experienced the power of Kumon in our own home, and we’re honoured to share that experience with your family. Let’s build something great together!
