– Katherine Pryce had a dream of a career in hospitality management. With a bachelor’s degree in hospitality, she spent the early part of her career as a hotel front desk manager but felt like something was missing. Wanting to do more with her professional career, she recalled the time spent providing educational opportunities to students from low income households as an active volunteer in the greater New Orleans school district while she attended Tulane University. That renewed inspiration motivated her to take the leap of faith and open Kumon Math and Reading Center of Naples – North.
Pryce isn’t new to Kumon though. In fact, she was first introduced to the franchise when her parents enrolled her in the math and reading program when she was 10 years old. Throughout her academic and professional career, she always recalled her experience as a Kumon Student and the positive impact it made. She will provide a rare perspective for her future Kumon Students.
“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.
