Mikhail Kim\u2019s relationship with homework was anything but positive. Every evening brought the same challenge of homework that often ended in frustration. \u201cFor a parent, it was difficult to watch\u2014knowing he was capable, but not seeing that confidence,\u201d said Mikhail\u2019s mother. That began to change after Mikhail enrolled in Kumon. Not all at once, but gradually, as his family built Kumon into their daily routine. Mikhail\u2019s mother described it as \u201ca new routine, a different way of practicing,\u201d referring to the steady and daily learning Kumon instills in all students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When students first begin the program, they start at a just right <\/em>level, designed to rebuild confidence and restore a sense of ease in learning. For Mikhail, this approach made homework feel doable again, rather than something that left him feeling defeated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest shift in Mikhail\u2019s Kumon journey came when he switched to Kumon Connect. Learning was no longer tied to a specific place or time, giving him the flexibility to study \u201cat his own pace, in his own space, with a sense of independence he had not felt before,\u201d his mother shared. Kumon Connect, the tablet-based version of Kumon\u2019s traditional worksheet program, made daily practice more accessible and helped Mikhail take ownership of his learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To better understand this shift, we asked Mikhail\u2019s mother to share more about her decision to switch to Kumon Connect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mikhail\u2019s Kumon journey has transformed the way he sees learning. With the accessibility of Kumon Connect and the independence it helped him build, Mikhail has taken ownership of his learning and that ownership has grown into motivation that extends beyond academics. His mother shared, \u201cNow, I see real results\u2014not just in his improved skills, but in his mindset.\u201d Once hesitant to take on challenging work, Mikhail is now more willing to try new things and stay resilient when difficulties arise. Learning, which once felt like something to avoid, has become something he takes pride in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Today, he is studying math two years ahead of his grade level, a true testament to the confidence he has built through the program. For Mikhail, Kumon Connect helped turn daily practice into meaningful growth, building confidence that extends far beyond the classroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \nMikhail Kim\u2019s relationship with homework was anything but positive.
