Building Self-Confidence “Kumon increased my self-confidence because now I know I can do things on my own instead of depending on my parents and teachers.” Rohith, Kumon Student from Wellington, FL “I was a math student at Kumon for five years and loved every minute of it! It gave me a very solid foundation of basic and advanced skills, and it gave me confidence that stayed with me to high school. I will never forget the positive impact Kumon had on me. I would not be the student I am today without this!”   Shuchi, Kumon Student from Atlanta, GA “The Kumon curriculum challenged me to understand Shakespeare and improve my vocabulary and writing ability. Kumon taught me that I could master anything in school and life.” Fahim, Kumon Student from Riverhead, NY “Because of the way Kumon is structured, my son has built confidence, which has also led to a sense of perfectionism within him.

Now, because of the reading program, he has an increased vocabulary and can find the right words to use.” Marianne, Kumon Mom from Walnut, CA Unlocking Potential “I am proud of the fact that I was able to work a little each day to reach my goals.
