About the Instructor

Introduction

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 their 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.

Moreover, I take great pride and joy in seeing my students master new concepts. Although there is much discipline and hard-work required for success here at Kumon, I believe that the priceless reward of knowledge is indispensable. One of the greatest parts of being a Kumon instructor is being visited by former Kumon students who are in college or the workplace; it's a great blessing to be able to hear from them that they're deeply appreciative of the Kumon program- that their foundation in Kumon definitely helped them be able to achieve their collegiate academic goals. Their success is my joy as a Kumon instructor; it's a great blessing to be able to help students achieve their fullest potential.
