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.
