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.

Lisa Li received her MBA in Finance and Marketing from the University of Connecticut. Prior to opening the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Holly Springs, Lisa worked as an account and business development manager at two startup companies for over 10 years.

The motivation to become a Kumon Instructor came from her own children’s Kumon experience. After several years of Kumon study, Lisa was very impressed by her son’s progress in math and reading. This experience made her a believer in the Kumon Method to not only benefit a student’s basic skills development, but also life long learning skills.

Having grown up in a family where both parents were professors, she always looked up to them as her career models and continues to have a passion to work with and educate children. After spending time with her kids on Kumon exercises and enjoying their success in math and reading, Lisa came to realize that it would be even more fun and enjoyable to turn helping and educating children into a career of her own.
