My name is Esther Jiyeon Kwon and I am the Fairfax-East Kumon Instructor.
I grew up in Southern California and graduated from California State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Physics and a Master's Degree in Aerospace Engineering. Furthermore, I have a TESOL (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages) certificate, which I attained from Biola University in California.
Upon completing my secondary education, I worked as a professional educator. I coordinated my own after-school tutoring program and served as a substitute teacher for all grade levels at private and international schools. During my time in Japan, I worked as a full-time teacher for middle and high school level math and science at an international school.
I am a mother of three children, who are of high academic achievement and are former Kumon students. I believe in Kumon's philosophy of teaching, as it has proven success with my own children. Having witnessed the tremendous effects of Kumon on a personal level, I hope to bring the same amount of success to your children.
