About Your Instructor
Allana Mollie Folkmann
Welcome Parents and Prospective Students!
My name is Allana Folkmann, and I am the Director of Kumon Math and Reading Center of Abingdon. I graduated with a B.S. in Biology and an M.S. in Biomedical Sciences. For the last five years, I was working as a Quality Engineer in various biomedical device companies. Although I enjoyed working in the medical device industry, it was while working from home during the pandemic when I decided that I wanted to do more. I wanted to be able to make a direct impact and be able to see positive change. Through Kumon, I have the amazing opportunity to discover every student's potential and maximize it to the fullest. What sets Kumon apart is that students are empowered to become independent self-learners. As the student steadily builds a solid grasp of math and reading, the student becomes more independent and gains the confidence to tackle more difficult concepts. With hard work and perseverance, I believe every student has the ability to achieve long-term success in and out of the classroom.
