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.
In addition to my training and experience as a Kumon Instructor, my academic credentials include a Bachelor of Applied Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering. I have also coached both high school boys and girls volleyball for many years. The highlight for me as a coach is the moment when the kids realize that all their hard work has taught them how to play competitively, regardless of their starting point.
Similarly, I enjoy helping students come to the realization that Math and Reading are not difficult subjects if they have the right foundation. That is why I genuinely believe in the Kumon Method – we use the core subjects of math and reading to develop self-learners and a lifelong love of learning. By working through our curriculum, students learn how to learn.
