About the Instructor

My name is Ms. Elise Abraham and I own and direct the Kumon Center of Lathrop. As an extensively trained and certified professional educator, I serve as the primary instructor guiding your children through their work while also providing direction, support and encouragement. I monitor classroom assignments, making sure that students develop focus to complete their work in a timely manner. I also create individualized, at-home study plans so that students remain consistent in their studies and that parents can be involved in their children's learning.

Ms. Elise grew up in Tracy, CA and has dedicated her life to helping kids be the best they can be. She earned her B.S. in child psychology from Saint Mary's College of California and a M.Ed. with a focus on special education and applied behavioral analysis from the University of Washington. Before joining Kumon, Ms. Elise acquired practical experience working as a board-certified behavioral analyst and directing classroom and clinical programs for early childhood intervention. She is passionate about inclusive, individualized learning for children of all abilities and believes in the importance of parent involvement.
