Kumon Assistant Transitions to Franchisee

Kumon Parent Hopes to Continue to Foster a Love for Learning in McLean – Rock Spring Center

June 03, 2020 // Franchising.com // McLean, Va. - Sara Haghighi has had one particular career goal for as long as she can remember – she hoped to own her own business by the age of 40. Along the way, she worked in management and logistics within several big corporations, which sharpened her ability to juggle multiple tasks while allowing her to work with fellow colleagues from many areas of business. In between, she enjoyed working short-term teaching jobs, which included part time at a university and at after school programs.

Education and learning were always a priority for Sara, so when her daughter was ready, she decided to enroll her in the Kumon Math and Reading Program after learning about it from friends and family. Just a few months later, her daughter’s Kumon Instructor offered Sara a part time job working as an assistant at the Center. After working there for one year, Sara realized the opportunity to reach her ultimate career goal was right in front of her. As the owner and instructor of Kumon of McLean – Rock Spring she hopes to continue the rewarding experience of fostering a love for learning at her very own Center.

“In the last year as an assistant, I learned that there is nothing more rewarding for me than observing a student progress in such a short time,” said Sara. “I’m proud to call myself a business owner, but even more proud of what I’m doing for my community’s youth.”

Sara’s experience in management and working in a Kumon Center made her a great candidate to become a Kumon Franchisee. When she reached out for more information on the process, she was met with an extensive network of support. Becoming a Kumon Franchisee is an attractive business opportunity for many aspiring entrepreneurs, as up to $36,000 in startup cost assistance is available to further assist new Instructors.
