As an extensively trained and certified professional instructor, I serve as a mentor who guides your children through their work while also providing direction, support and encouragement. I create an at-home study plan in addition to monitoring classroom assignments, and I emphasize the importance of accurately completing each assignment within a designated time frame. This has helped many of my students increase self-confidence, thus becoming more self-reliant. Like all Kumon Instructors, I have a true passion for education and an earnest desire to help children succeed.

Jena Terranova is trained and certified with the latest advancements in the Kumon Method.  After seeing her son’s progress with Kumon’s individualized learning method, Jena was inspired to promote Kumon in her own community. Her son is now ranked #1 in North America for his advanced reading level. In the subject of math, he is currently two grade levels ahead. Inspired by his progress, Jena desired to personally help families develop the same love of learning in their own children. She has a great passion for education on all levels and wants to help children achieve a higher level of learning through this time-honored method. Because Kumon’s individual learning plan and systematic practice helps students increase focus and intensify motivation to pursue excellence in life, she believes the earlier you expose your children to Kumon, the greater benefits. 

For over 20 years, Jena worked as a senior manager at various global companies. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Marketing Management, an MBA in Finance and post-graduate diplomas in International Marketing and Database Management. She is married and lives in Burbank, CA. She also has a three-year old daughter who is progressing quickly in the Kumon curriculum and loves to learn and read.

As a Kumon Instructor, I am trained in the latest advancements on Kumon instruction, especially on Primary Instruction and Early Learning.
