• I volunteered at Kumon between November and January this year and worked part-time between March and April. I developed communication and leadership skills by assisting students in math and reading. I loved being part of a learning support community and enjoyed watching the children grow in confidence daily.
• Aside from Kumon, I also participated in a nonprofit coding project where I applied my web development skills practically. These activities have made me more responsible, reliable, and team-oriented.
• I have strong connections to the Kumon family and enjoy the friendly atmosphere and convenient location. I would be delighted to return and continue assisting while supporting myself financially as well. Being raised in a large family, I've learned how to balance responsibility, multitasking, and maintaining motivation—skills I feel are crucial in a Kumon employee.
