Josie’s Story

Josie


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.

Emmanuel's mom shares, "this center is ran by amazing people who care about the individual child. My son was struggling in school and academically and his teacher suggested Kumon. Within a month of being enrolled his teacher noticed a huge improvement in my sons demeanor. He is now in month four with Ms. Nirali and received his first award at school for most improved. He is no longer getting in trouble at school either. Surprisingly increasing his confidence academically helped his behavior tremendously. He now enjoys school and 1st grade has become fun. Thank you to Ms. Nirali and all the staff."
