Varnica's Story
I am Varnica and Kumon is a key part of my life. I have been in the program for over 10 years and I have learned so much. Kumon taught me important life skills along with the Math and Reading programs it offers. I learned so much more than Algebra, Calculus and critiquing the Literary content from Shakespeare and other classics.
Kumon helped me in so many ways academically and inspired me to learn more. I can complete my school work with ease and have an academic edge over my peers since I have been introduced to many of the concepts in Kumon that are being taught in school. Because of Kumon, I was able to spend time doing what I was interested in without having to worry about falling behind at school, allowing me to spend time learning about coding, robotics and doing other activities that interested me. I was able to experience and learn so many new things, because of the advantage I had been given through Kumon.
I was one of 55 students selected to attend the 2018 Kumon Student Conference in Calgary, Canada. It was an honour to attend the Student Conference. It was an amazing experience to meet my fellow students and the speakers for the event at the 2018 Kumon Student Conference in Calgary!

Karim's Story
I believe Kumon provides children with great opportunities to help them excel in school and even after finishing school. Throughout my school years, Kumon has helped me so much, since I had already learned most of the material I was being taught in class. Thanks to Kumon, I was able to stay ahead and maintain high grades. Even after completing the program, I continue to find the material being taught in my math classes simple and easy as I had already been taught most of it through Kumon.
Additionally, Kumon has not only taught me math and English skills but also a good work ethic and dedication. After having done Kumon for several years, I developed the skills to stay focused and persist until I finish the task at hand and I am able to apply these skills to assignments in school and even things outside of school.
An accomplishment that I am proud of is having a part-time job, which so happens to be at Kumon itself through which I am able to guide students with their Math and Language skills. This wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the skills I learned through the Kumon program.
