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.

Mateo C.'s Story!!!
Truly Grateful for the Kumon Program. When our son Mateo started, he had ZERO Confidence.
Four years ago, our son was so far behind his grade level that he was lost and confused. He wasn’t getting the extra help he needed at school. But, I also didn’t know how to help him get where he needed to be.
Kumon has changed our son to be a truly confident child. Gone are the days of confusion. Truly grateful for this program, not only in helping him reach above grade level, but for making him a confident child that has lots of goals in life.
He now truly believes he can do anything he sets his sights on
Mateo has been enrolled for 4 years as Kumon student doing both Reading and Math.
He has learned to be an independent student. Even when traveling on vacation, he wakes up early to finish all his homework so he is free for all his daily adventures. All of this, with out being told to do so! I say this is a Win Win
Thank you Kumon.
