Multicultural Educator to Continue Teaching Career

After taking some time off from teaching to raise her young children, Shahzeen was ready to go back to work. A friend gave her a closer introduction to the Kumon Method, which prompted her to enroll her children immediately. The change in academic independence she saw in her kids occurred faster than she ever thought possible, which gave Shahzeen an idea for her next career move. Now, as the owner and Instructor of Kumon of Broadlands, she is looking forward to providing that same change in students in her community.

“I developed full faith in the Kumon Program as soon as I observed its impact on my own children,” said Sarfraz. “They are both very different students and approach their studies in their own special way, but regardless of their personalities, Kumon has developed them into self-learners who are always working to improve their organization skills and productivity.”

When Shahzeen reached out for more information on becoming a Kumon Franchisee, she was met with an extensive network of support. Becoming a Kumon Franchisee is an attractive business opportunity for many aspiring entrepreneurs with a passion for education.
