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.

Czar and Ayanika
We are Czar and Ayankia and we are 2nd graders and kindergarteners.
We have joined Kumon Westford since June 2020. We have always enjoyed doing math as we are both getting really good at our school. Our teachers gave us really high marks and we are both well ahead of our grade level and we are always top of our classes. As we progress more, it is getting harder and more challenging for us.
It is good that we can study Kumon together and see who can finish the worksheets first. Thanks to both Mrs. Tsai and our parents working with us, we can keep progressing. We can not wait to receive additional medals.
Sharvi
My name is Sharvi and I am a first grader.
I have been with Kumon Westford since September 2022 for both reading and math program. I have always enjoyed reading many different books that Mrs. Tsai has provided for me. I also love reading various stories from my Kumon Reading List. Because of Kumon Reading Program, I can read stories and books a lot faster than my friends.
Since I have been taking Kumon Math, I can now do math problems above my grade level. I can even answer some questions quicker than my family and my friends! I want to thank my instructor Mrs. Tsai, and my parents for helping me on my learning journey at Kumon. Because of the Kumon Program, I can do even better at my school to get excellent grades.
