About the Instructor

Introduction

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.

Biography and Background

My interest in Kumon stems from my background in education. As a former middle and high school Language Arts teacher, high school assistant principal, and elementary school principal, I constantly searched for ways to help each student learn to his or her full potential. The Kumon philosophy, with its emphasis on self-learning at the “just right” level of instruction, has always appealed to me. As I began to consider my role outside of the public education setting, it became very clear that I could continue my mission by serving as a Kumon Instructor.

Training and Certification

Before coming to Kumon, I served as a principal here in Cabarrus County and in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools. I have taught in Wyoming, California, and Virginia. I hold degrees from Case Western Reserve University, Boston College, and the University of Virginia.
