Welcome to the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Seattle - Queen Anne! My name is Byron Bekins and I have been involved with Kumon for 10 years and love the opportunities and benefits it has offered countless students. In addition to my love of Kumon, I'm also very passionate about the local area. I was born and raised in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle, just up the hill from where our center currently stands. This is my community and I'm excited to partner with local families to help them achieve their goals!
I'm a father of two young children, including my oldest son who is enrolled in both the math and reading programs. I've seen first hand how helpful this program is in motivating my son to learn and practice his math and reading skills.
As an extensively trained and certified professional instructor, I serve as a mentor who guides your children through their work while also providing direction, support and encouragement. I create an at-home study plan in addition to monitoring classroom assignments, and I emphasize the importance of accurately completing each assignment within a designated time frame. This has helped many of my students increase self-confidence, thus becoming more self-reliant. My favorite part of the Kumon program is that it can help all different students with various learning styles.
I hope to meet you soon to hear about your family, community, and how we can partner together to help your child succeed!
