Longtime Engineer Swaps his Tool Belt for School Supplies with the Opening of Kumon Math and Reading Center of Gilroy

New center is the 2^nd in the family for husband and wife duo looking to make an impact

GILROY, Calif. (JUNE 24, 2019) – From the moment Bader Lakhat’s wife, Masuma, opened her Kumon Center two years ago, he saw an impact on the community that he couldn’t ignore. In addition to watching business at the Kumon of Morgan Hill thrive, Bader observed the community’s enthusiasm to help their children achieve academic independence and freedom – an opportunity that may not have been present before. After working as an electrical engineer for three decades, Bader decided it was time to bring that opportunity to another local town and join his wife as a Kumon Franchisee. Today, he is the proud owner of Kumon Math and Reading Center of Gilroy.

“By opening this center to develop children to become better learners, I hope to enable them to teach themselves new concepts,” said Lakhat, owner of Kumon of Gilroy. “After seeing such great progress at my wife’s Kumon Center, I’m looking forward to having the same positive impact in Gilroy.”
