About Your Instructor
CRISTINA ACOSTA
My name is
Cristina Acosta. I have been a Kumon
instructor for almost 15 years and have a vast experience as an educator. I
opened my first Kumon center in Boca Raton in 1997, mine was one of the first
Kumon centers to open in Florida.
After
spending several years abroad, following my husband’s career in the US Air
Force, I, my husband, and our son Christian, who was 6 years old at the time,
returned to the US. We re-located near Princeton, New Jersey and had our first
contact with Kumon there in the late 1980s.
I had pursued
my teaching career both in the US and abroad and knew the importance of helping
my son acquire a strong foundation in Math and English and felt Kumon was an
excellent fit. Convinced of the excellence of the Kumon method through seeing
Christian work comfortably and independently well beyond his school grade
level, I decided to open my own center in Florida when the family relocated
there in 1995.
I started my
center in Boca Raton with 12 students partly for my son to continue with the
program and partly because I wanted Kumon to help other students achieve the
academic excellence my son had experienced. Today, Christian is pursuing a
successful career as a Nuclear Engineer and I am successfully running two
centers with almost 400 students.
Call me, I
can give you good insight into your child’s academic future drawing from my
vast experience as an educator, a Kumon mom and well-established Kumon
instructor.
