About Your Instructor
MOHAN SOMNAY
My name is Mohan J. Somnay. I am the Certified Kumon Instructor at Kumon of Chester. My background is in engineering. I earned my BS in Mechanical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Kharagpur, India. Then I secured MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science from the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Newark, NJ. I taught undergraduate Physics and Math at NJIT while attending graduate school. After graduation, I worked in the aerospace industry for 14 years and in the Financial Industry for 8 years.
Children have always been a constant source of delight and fascination for me. After my daughter had attended Kumon for a year with amazing results, I decided to become a Certified Kumon Instructor. Very extensive training by Kumon North America allowed me to open Kumon of Chester in May 2007.
