“Practice makes habits; educators are here to teach the right ones!”
Hello! My name is Coach Takuma, and I teach abacus math and common core, here at Genie Academy! I have a B.A. in mathematics, and a minor in education. My past experience as a tutor at J.P. Stevens High School during my college years is what kindled my passion to become an educator. Also as a former volunteer at a summer camp for pre-k students, working with kids has always been a forte of mine. My mission as an educator is to unlock the hidden potential that is within every student, and I’ll be sure we’ll have some fun learning along the way!

Mr. Takuma is kind, patient, knowledgeable, and focuses his efforts on understanding where the children are with maturity and confidence levels, then aims to get them to a place where they are confident in their work. Once my daughter became confident, she was more open to asking more questions, challenging herself, and achieving greater success. I appreciate his leadership and approach.

Raj has been attending Math Genie classes since he was 7 years old. He loves Coach Takuma and his teaching methods. That’s one of the biggest reason why he is still here at 14 years of age. We also like Coach Fatima as she is always very friendly and very helpful. She has helped Raj from time to time as well.

As a parent who has seen both of my children go through Genie Academy, I can confidentially say that this program works and truly delivers. My older son attended their program few years ago and the progress he made in math and critical thinking was incredible. And now my 8 year old daughter is attending and we are already seeing the same positive impact. Genie Academy has become a trusted part of our family's educational journey. Keep up the great work.

I want to express our gratitude for Mr. Takuma's efforts in ensuring Mila's academic and social success. Despite skipping a grade early on, we were concerned about her being the youngest in the class. However, thanks to Mr. Takuma's support, Mila has thrived both academically and socially. We truly value your collaboration. Mila consistently receives praise at school for her quick thinking, willingness to assist others with math, and her love for the learning environment. I'm providing the progress reports from the last four quarters, which show that her performance in math and language exceeds that of 67% of 5th graders nationally. Thank you once again for your role in her development!!!
— Sophia Troiano

We've been attending Math Genie (currently Genie Academy) for a few years. I was extremely happy to find out that they extended virtual classrooms past pandemic as it helps us to seamlessly blend the program with the rest of our homeschooling curriculum. I love how each student gets personal attention and is able to progress at their own pace. It allows stronger students to advance faster without being held back, while the weaker students stay on the topic until they thoroughly familiarize themselves with it and don't fall behind like so often happens in public schools. I would like to personally thank Ms. Naina, Ms. Susie, Ms. Fatima and Mr. Takuma for making this an amazing experience.
