They most likely don\u2019t have homework every day, and when they do, it often involves large shapes, bright colors, and simple number exercises. This wasn\u2019t enough for Alvina. At just six years old, she noticed a classmate bringing unfamiliar and advanced work to school, that he would complete during their breaks. Alvina learned this was daily worksheet study for the Kumon Math Program, and wanted in. She begged her parents to enroll her, and promised she was ready for the new commitment of homework every day on material she had never seen before. Just three years later, at age nine, Alvina is studying quadratic equations \u2013 advanced high school level math \u2013 after she spends the regular school day in the 4<sup>th<\/sup> grade with her peers.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-large wp-image-7230\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20190714_160029-e1570817223446-146x300.jpg\" alt=\"Alvina figure skates wearing a pink fleece top and black skirt\" width=\"146\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20190714_160029-e1570817223446-146x300.jpg 146w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20190714_160029-e1570817223446-768x1580.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/20190714_160029-e1570817223446.jpg 1960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 146px) 100vw, 146px\" \/><\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>\u201cMy desire and motivation to go beyond my grade to learn more than what I was being taught at school convinced my parents to enroll me in Kumon,\u201d said Alvina. \u201cI have since learned where my weaknesses are and how to persevere through them, which has increased my self-confidence while demonstrating that practice really does make perfect.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>Alvina is studying several years beyond her grade level through the Kumon Math Program, which has left her ample time to focus on her extracurricular passions. An avid figure skater, her dedication and extra time helped her achieve an award for most improved individual skater in her league. Off the ice, Alvina enjoys participating in church choir and drama club, practicing piano, scouting, and volunteering. She maintains a spot on the Spirit of Math National Mathematics Honor Roll, enjoys learning foreign languages, and has recently taken a liking to public speaking.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s clear that Alvina is always looking for a challenge and that doesn\u2019t stop with her career aspirations.

She traveled to Chicago, Illinois for a day of critical thinking, connecting, and learning with Kumon students just like her.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>What do you enjoy most about Kumon? <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Since Kumon allows me to learn new material without limiting me by my age or school grade, I enjoy overcoming the challenging problems in the worksheets by pushing myself a bit further to test my ability.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>How has Kumon helped you both in and out of the classroom?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Kumon has helped me get through my schoolwork easily and efficiently!\u00a0 It saves me time not having to struggle with my homework so that I have more time to explore other new things and expand my knowledge. Outside of the classroom, I am learning piano by myself without taking any piano class.\u00a0 I think this is very similar to the Kumon Method because Kumon taught me the benefit of self-learning.\u00a0 I seek out the information on how to play songs by myself.\u00a0 For instance, I learned how to read the notes on internet sites and some apps to guide me on how to play the tunes.\u00a0 Without my Kumon experience, I probably would not have attempted to self-learn how to play piano.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height: 12px;\"><\/div>\n<h4><strong>What achievements are you most proud of?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I strive to make the impossible possible! Last year, I received the \u201cMost Improved Individual\u201d at the Richmond Hill Figure Skating Club.\u00a0 I always want to take a step up the ladder to improve my skills, techniques, and knowledge &#8211; not only in skating, but in everything I learn.
