Former Financial Analyst to Combine Business Sense with Love for Learning

MARIETTA, Ga., June 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Desmond Reeves had always enjoyed his career working as a financial analyst. It allowed him to work with companies to project their success, all while analyzing data and learning something new every day. This was fitting for Desmond, as learning was a passion of his, and something he was committed to passing on to his children. He wanted to make sure that they were always advancing, which is what prompted him to enroll them in the Kumon Reading and Math Program several years ago.

Desmond quickly realized the effect of the program on his children and was in awe of their speedy transformation into independent, confident learners. Inspired by Kumon's immeasurable results for his family, his love for education and learning was rekindled, which helped him decide to make it a focus for his next career move. Now, as the owner and Instructor of Kumon of Marietta – Northeast, he aims to grow area students' self-confidence and academic independence through the program.

"My children are my inspiration, and there is nothing more important to me than their education," said Desmond. "The growth that I witnessed after enrolling my kids in Kumon to strengthen their math and reading skills was beyond my wildest dreams, and I look forward to providing that same result to students in my community."
