– Ayisha Warfa has been a life-long educator. As a former teacher and assistant principal, making learning meaningful and fun for young minds has always been a passion. When she witnessed her two daughters excelling academically through the Kumon Math and Reading Program, it sparked an idea to give back to the youth within her community in a new way. Ayisha noticed a significant increase in confidence in both of her children – especially in one of her daughters, who had never enjoyed math previously. Over ten years later, her older daughter has graduated high school with a full scholarship to college in the fall, with her younger daughter expected to do the same next year. The enthusiasm for self-learning she saw in her daughters was something Ayisha felt the need to spread. She is now successfully doing so as the proud owner and Instructor of Kumon of Tomball – South.
“Having the foundation of Kumon was undoubtedly a factor in both of my daughters placing at the top of their class, year after year,” said Ayisha Warfa, owner of Kumon of Tomball - South. “I want the same success for my students – and with Kumon’s individualized program, each child’s ‘just-right’ learning level will be reached in a way to make that possible.”
“These results translated into a self-esteem boost that I didn’t anticipate,” Ms. Goldman said.
Teachers are recommending students who can benefit from Kumon’s instruction and, with parent involvement, are making the enrichment center an official partner in the learning process.
“The idea is not for Kumon students to be ‘tutored’ per se but to ‘self-propel’ through the material,” says center director Naomi Sazuki…
Even if your child prefers roving work stations to a dedicated desk, identify appropriate study spots and make sure she has all necessary supplies. “Try to pick the quietest areas in your home that will have as few distractions as possible,” advises Rima Muth from the national math and reading enrichment program Kumon.
