About Your Instructor
Juma Forazi
I am Juma Forazi, and I am a long-standing resident and member of the local Bedford Park community. My educational journey began just two blocks away from our Center, at PS 8 and continued through MS 118 Pace Academy, Brooklyn Technical High School, and Hunter College, where I graduated cum laude with a degree in Human Biology. I’ve worked at Kumon of Bedford Park for 9 years– first as an assistant, and now as the Instructor– and I’m honored to lead a center that has supported local families for over 25 years.
Kumon is not just a business I own and run; it’s part of who I am. Having been a student not too long ago, I know what it’s like to juggle school, expectations, and life at home. That perspective helps me connect with students in a way that feels real and motivating. I strive to understand each of my students’ individual abilities and foster an environment where they feel encouraged to grow, fill in the gaps, and take pride in their progress. I look forward to meeting you and your children and helping you all feel like joining Kumon puts you on the path to academic success.
