How has Kumon helped you in the classroom?? Whenever thereâs a hard question in math, my teacher calls me up to solve it. I also can help other students when they are solving a math problem. How has Kumon helped you beyond academics?? Kumon has taught me many valuable lessons such as being confident in myself, motivation, time management, creative thinking and discipline. Kumon challenges me consistently by introducing new concepts one after the other. In school, thereâs a requirement to learn two new languages and it was easy to adapt as Kumon frequently inspires me to learn new concepts. What keeps you motivated in Kumon? Kumon can be tough sometimes, but all of the challenges and the resulting benefits keep me motivated. Kumon teaches me everything well ahead of time, so when I learn it in school, I have already had so much practice that I always speed through it. This tells me that if I keep going in Kumon, I will always achieve my math goals. What did it mean to you to be invited to the 2018 Kumon Student Conference?? First off, I was very excited because this is the first time I have been invited. Attending the conference has given me the opportunity to interact with different students from Kumon North America Centers, and listen to their experiences and best practices. What advice do you have for other Kumon Students?? Just stick with it and never give up! Discover even more student success stories.
