About the Instructor

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.

Since June 2011, Ms. Tzy Wen Gong has been the Instructor for Ann Arbor East Kumon. She follows Dr. and Mrs Takeshita who established this center as the first Kumon Center in Michigan in 1990. 

Ms. Gong is  an educator with over 20 years in biological research and research teaching as well as five years of instructional teaching of graduate courses at University of Michigan.  As a Kumon parent for over 13 years (with two children now in college), she fully appreciates the Kumon values and philosophy.  She is dedicated to help students reach their full potential and meet each challenge as they move through the Kumon program.
