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.

Langalibalele's Kumon Journey
My 12 year old son is thoroughly enjoying being part of the Kumon Program. The instructors have worked with him patiently by making sure that they cover fundamental math concepts that form basic building blocks to his understanding of math topics. We have seen so much improvement in his overall math test scores since he started this program!
What stands out the most to him about the program is that the teaching method adapts to his learning style and that has made him love practicing math daily!
As a parent, I appreciate the open communication and care that the owner shows. I am pleased to have enrolled him in Kumon and would strongly recommend it to his peers and my friends too!
