About the Instructor

Our Kumon center in Mandeville is owned by a mother-daughter team.  We believe our family business fosters a family atmosphere at our Kumon center.  As extensively trained and certified professional instructors, we serve as mentors who guide your children through their work while also providing direction, support and encouragement. We create an at-home study plan in addition to monitoring classroom assignments.  During class visits we emphasize the importance of accurately completing each assignment within a designated time frame. This has helped many students increase self-confidence, thus becoming more self-reliant. Like all Kumon Instructors, we have a true passion for education and an earnest desire to help children succeed.  And because our students are like family, we are as proud of their accomplishments as their own families!

Linda is the Reading instructor at our Kumon center, and is the "mother" portion of our mother-daughter ownership.  Linda has been an educator for 42 years, and holds a BS in Secondary Education as well as a MS in Curriculum and Instruction.  Over the years, Linda has taught nearly every grade level, with most of her career spent in Junior High.  She was a teacher in the Gifted and Talented program in our local school system for over 10 of her teaching years.  Linda has also taught many specialty courses such as Study Skills, ACT Preparation, Creative Writing, High School Entrance Preparation, and Duke Talent Search Preparation.  She truly loves sharing her gift of teaching with students of all ages!

Holly Boullion is the Math Instructor, and is the "daughter" portion of the mother-daughter ownership.  Holly holds a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and has always loved math!  Holly has spent over 25 years in the technology field, where in addition to applying her problem solving skills, she also had the opportunity to teach adults.  In high school and college, Holly was a math tutor and has always enjoyed helping students of any age hone their problem solving skills.  Becoming a Kumon instructor was a natural fit!
