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.

I have successfully completed a university degree in Economics and for many years worked in the private sector as a Financial Controller.  With an overwhelming desire to improve the education of children, I volunteered for a number of years in my local school board in various capacities, including a very rewarding position assisting remedial reading students.  After a full year of training at Kumon University, I was certified to open a new Kumon centre.  I continue to attend professional development sessions at Kumon’s head office on a monthly basis.  My personal goal is to help each child develop excellent study habits, independent learning skills, self-confidence and an overall love of learning.
