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.

Training and Certification

The Kumon Math and Reading Center of Glenview-East is very special and personal to Instructor Lee. She once worked as a center assistant for two years and her experience at the center helped her decide to continue pursuing education focusing on young children. After receiving her Bachelor's degree in Developmental Psychology, she wanted to share the importance of education and give motivation to young children.
