Ayaan's Story
My name is Ayaan A. I joined the math program at Kumon several years ago. I am in 5th grade but working years ahead, which I’m proud of. Kumon has been great for me because I have learned to be confident in myself. It has taught me to be accountable and learn to solve problems. I may not learn something at first but if I keep trying and persevering, I will figure it out. What’s cool to see is that I’ve motivated my sister to start Kumon too and she wants to learn math just like me.
