From Computer Engineer to Kumon Instructor: Local Entrepreneur Opens Learning Center after Seeing Improvement in Her Child's Academics

HAVERTOWN, Pa., Dec 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- With over a decade of experience in computer engineering and a burgeoning career as a programmer, Mayuri Prakash didn't initially have Kumon on her radar. That changed when she noticed her daughter was struggling with math, and on the advice of another Kumon Parent, decided to enroll her in Kumon.  Not too long after enrolling, she heard her daughter say, "Mom, this is easy for me now. I can do it by myself." Completely impressed by her daughter's progress and intrigued by the Kumon Method, Mayuri decided to take a deeper look into Kumon. Today, she is the proud owner of Kumon Math and Reading Center of Havertown.

"I've always been good at math, so I was concerned when my daughter initially had difficulty with the subject," said Prakash, owner and Instructor of Kumon Math and Reading Center of Havertown. "Watching her ability, confidence, and independence grow through her engagement with the Kumon Worksheets was a game changer." "I love to see the confidence on my daughter's face when she attempts a new math problem, and I want to provide that same sense of accomplishment to all of the parents that enroll their children in my Kumon Center."

The Kumon Method empowers preschool to high school aged children to become self-learners and is designed to advance math and reading skills while fostering a love for learning. It goes beyond traditional tutoring by actively developing critical thinking skills as children progress independently through a carefully crafted curriculum.

"I treat each student like my own child, and want to see them progress through the program at their own pace while building skills for life," said Prakash. "I've been on both sides of the fence and know what it feels like to have children who are struggling academically. My experience proves that with the right guidance, any child can succeed."

Kumon sparks critical thinking, establishes a pattern of success and builds confidence that can lead to accelerated learning throughout life.  Learn more about the Kumon Method today.
