Philos achieves in Kumon Mathematics and taekwondo
In just seven months of study with Kumon Mathematics, 15-year-old Philos achieved the milestone of studying one year ahead of his school grade.
Philos, in Year 9 at school, enrolled at Kumon in February 2023. He started with revising fractions. Now, Philos is learning about factorisation, monomials and polynomials, and simultaneous equations in his Kumon Mathematics worksheets.
“Kumon has helped me learn about different types of mathematics, that I didn’t know about back then”, Philos says. “But now I know a lot more”.
Philos says that his advanced study through Kumon is helping him in school and will give him greater career choice in his future.
“[My current study with Kumon] might help me get different types of jobs that need require strong mathematics skills”, Philos says.
Binod, Philos’s father, says he views strong skills in mathematics as essential for son.
“In my opinion, mathematics is the key for all subjects”, Binod says. “That’s the reason I enrolled [my son] at Kumon”.
Philos is achieving outside of the classroom as well. He recently achieved a silver medal in the 4th Global Taekwondo Tournament, held in Melbourne over the King’s Birthday long weekend. Philos is also an avid soccer player.
