Career Entrepreneur Begins Next Venture

DUARTE, Calif., March 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The K Chen has had a passion for entrepreneurship for much of his career. Within one year of becoming a citizen of the United States, he sold his first business. He didn't slow down there – just over a decade later, he sold his second company, a large training institution. Despite his success in growing and selling businesses, Chen wanted to start something that he could build upon indefinitely. At the same time, he witnessed his son thrive academically after enrolling him in the Kumon Math and Reading Program. It didn't take long to witness the Kumon Method's impact, and Chen's unknown next business venture immediately clicked. As the new owner and Instructor of Kumon of Duarte, he is excited to cultivate a love for learning in Duarte and the surrounding area.

"I saw the results of the Kumon Method just a few months after enrolling my son in the program," said Chen, owner and Instructor of Kumon of Duarte. "Growing businesses is what I do best, so the possibilities for students at my center are endless."

When The K was ready to begin his Kumon journey, he was met with an extensive network of support. Becoming a Kumon Franchisee is an attractive business opportunity for many aspiring entrepreneurs, as up to $36,000 in startup cost assistance is available to assist new Instructors. Kumon is a supplemental education program that aims to unlock students' full potential by increasing academic independence, confidence, and study skills.  Through daily worksheet study, students who are enrolled in Kumon often end up mastering material far beyond grade level.
