Kumon is right for both advanced students who need to be challenged and for students who need help catching up. The math program begins with basic counting and continues through calculus and beyond; the reading program starts with basic phonics and continues through advanced literature and comprehension. Whatever their current academic level or abilities, your children will begin at a comfortable starting point and advance at their own pace. Timed assignments and a required perfect score on each worksheet ensure children have a complete understanding of a concept before moving on. Daily worksheets nurture continual measureable improvements. The instructors guide the children to perform at their highest potential and by doing so children will learn how to learn and will develop the confidence they need to succeed on their own.
Testimony from Julie A: “I could say many great things about Kumon and what it has done for Emma in the 5 short months that we have been doing it. But, I think what stands out the most is the inescapable feeling of accomplishment and confidence that Emma gets from it when she achieves certain goals. It’s so much more than just learning how to read and write. For her it’s learning to believe in herself, that she can face difficult challenges, and push herself to tackle these challenges and come out successfully. It’s about perservance as much as it is about gaining knowledge and academics. Mostly I look forward to her starting kindergarten in the fall and seeing how she is able to apply the life skills that she is learning at Kumon to school and to her everyday life.
I once had a teacher say to me ‘give me a student with confidence and I can teach them anything’, and I think this is in many ways the bases of what Kumon is all about. It’s about letting your child have the opportunity to explore their strengths and weaknesses in order to maximize their greatest potential. And, I believe this is what we all need for everyday life.
At the Kumon center at Myers Park, Jas and all of her employees create a warm, supportive, and nurturing environment for our child. They have a love for learning and recognize that each child is different. They know how to build on a child’s strengths which gives the child the confidence they need to succeed. Emma has gone from shying away from reading because it was ‘too hard’ before we started Kumon to now 5 months later preferring to read her books to us instead of the other way around….Now I hear much more of the ‘I don’t need help I can do it myself’ versus the ‘it’s too hard;”
