I started Kumon in 1st grade. It really helped me become more confident. By 2nd grade, I finished first in class. Kumon helped boost my confidence in everything. Before I started Kumon, I wasn’t very good at Math. I didn’t even memorize the multiplication table, and I had to count with my hands. Kumon has helped me not to give up when things get
I started the Kumon Math program when I was in Grade 1 and it helped me become independent, confident, and smart. It helps me a lot in solving math problems easily. Thank you so much, Kumon! I love Kumon! Heaven LeusKumon Tanauan (Batangas) Center >>Go back to the Aspire Digital home page
Can you recall where you first learned how to walk, say your first words, and sing your first nursery rhymes? The backdrop of these little memories and achievements are often our homes. After all, they say that our home is our very first school. Now that classes are mostly done online, our homes are once again an extension of our classrooms. While staying

“I read this last night! How come I can’t remember it?” “The word is already on the tip of my tongue! Why can’t I recall it?” “I remember reading this article.

For some time now, several blockbuster movies are film adaptations of Young Adult (YA) nonfiction, horror, and other genres of fiction. The intertwining of these two media is a beautiful bridge between movie aficionados and avid readers. Upon learning that their favorite book will be adapted into a movie, bookworms can’t wait to see characters in their imagination come to life. On the
*This was Trassandra Jewelle Ipapo’s speech during the 2019 Advanced Students’ Forum last November 10, 2019 at the Manila Marriott Hotel, Pasay City. Never in my Kumon journey did I imagine that I would be where I am right now. Speaking in events is a great privilege since I saw myself as nothing more than just another happy kid sitting at the back
There’s no debate — classic paper books and e-books both entertain and inform us, readers. Both mediums are also an important part of our lives today. At that, the conversation should not dwell on which book is more superior. It should look into which suits the intention, needs, and habits of the readers. If you’re still standing in the middle and can’t pick
For most of the day, you’ve just been reading, an activity that does not require you to exert much physical effort. But for some reason, you feel discomfort around your neck and lower back at the end of the day. From time to time, your eyes also seem dry, itchy, and more tired than usual. If you’re experiencing this, maybe it’s time to
This pandemic shouldn’t be a hindrance to achieve our goals and wants in Kumon. In my case, there are two persons who inspire me the most, and those are my parents. With my achievements and medals, I can make them proud and happy. I will try to do my very best for them even though I will face challenges in life. We often feel lazy and unmotivated when answering
