About Your Instructor
DEBRA TAJIRI
I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawai‘i and have served the community as a Kumon Instructor for over 30 years, mentoring students at the Manoa and Kailua Kumon Centers. As a passionate educator, I am dedicated to promoting a positive learning environment as well as nurturing a life-long love of learning while maximizing the potential in each of my students.
Although I am delighted to see my former students continue to make a positive impact on our community as professionals, leaders, innovators, the opportunity to serve their children has been profoundly heartfelt and is one of the meaningful rewards of my career as a Kumon Instructor. Knowing that my former students have valued their Kumon experience to the point that they would want to share that legacy with their own children with us is truly priceless.
