Naman's Story

Naman

Naman was a Kumon of Saanich student who is currently attending university. He visited us recently and made some positive comments about his experience at Kumon:

"Kumon made sure I was fundamentally secure all the way through high school and I found that the study habits translated well into first year university where learning is much more self-guided. Thank you, Linda!"
