At just 10 years old, Year 6 student Annie is already building a strong foundation for future success through her studies at Kumon.

Annie describes her experience at Kumon as “really nice”, highlighting the welcoming and supportive environment at her centre. This positive atmosphere has helped her stay engaged and motivated throughout her learning journey.

Since enrolling in Kumon, Annie has seen clear improvements in both maths and reading comprehension. These skills have not only supported her classroom learning but have also boosted her confidence when approaching schoolwork.

“What motivates me is to finish Kumon,” Annie shares. “Kumon goes up to college level, and that means I’ll be prepared for it.”

This long-term outlook is a reflection of the independent learning mindset that Kumon aims to cultivate in every student.

Outside the classroom, Annie leads a busy and well-rounded life. She enjoys volleyball, art and reading, and participates in a variety of extracurricular activities including piano and language classes. Despite her full schedule, she continues to prioritise her Kumon studies, demonstrating strong discipline and time management.

Annie also recognises how Kumon supports her in everyday life. From solving homework problems to practical tasks like measuring ingredients when cooking, her growing maths skills are helping her navigate daily challenges with ease.

Behind Annie’s success is a strong support system. She credits both her parents and her Kumon centre for providing encouragement throughout her journey. This consistent support has helped her stay focused and continue progressing.

Looking ahead, Annie has clear academic goals. She aims to achieve high distinctions across her tests and continue excelling in her studies. Beyond school, she hopes to build a happy and successful life, supported by a great career.

“Kumon will benefit me by preparing me for intermediate and college,” Annie says.

With her determination, strong work ethic, and the support of her Kumon community, Annie is well on her way to achieving her goals.

She leaves a final note of appreciation for her centre: “The Kumon staff members are all really nice and wonderful.”
