Kumon Program Math Completer to Follow in Parents' Footsteps

KIRKLAND, Wash., Feb. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Kumon has been engrained in Angela Chen's life for as long as she can remember. Her parents were Kumon Instructors for more than three decades in their home country of Taiwan and owned three centers together throughout that time. Naturally, she was enrolled in the program from an early age and completed the Kumon Math Program before finishing high school. After moving to America in 2007, Angela started a family as well as her own piano lesson business, where she has been teaching students ages three through 20 ever since. Over a decade later, Angela felt her own children were grown enough for her to embark on a new Kumon Journey. Today, as the new owner and Instructor of Kumon of Kirkland ? Bridle Trails, she is excited to have the same impact on her community as she experienced as a Kumon Student.

"Kumon's qualities of repetition and self-learning became a way of life for me, and changed the way I think completely," said Angela Chen, owner and Instructor of Kumon of Kirkland- Bridle Trails. "Because my parents enrolled me at such an early age, I was able to study far beyond grade level at school, allowing me time to perfect my musical ability and turn it into a career."

Angela had been waiting for the right time in her children's' lives to open a Kumon Center, and decided to act on her dream two years after moving to the Seattle area. It's an attractive business opportunity for many aspiring entrepreneurs, as up to $36,000 in startup cost assistance is available, along with an extensive network of support. 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 that are enrolled in Kumon often end up mastering material far beyond grade level.
