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.

My name is Sonika Mahbubani and I am the Director and Instructor of the Kumon Math and Reading Centre of Markham – McCowan and Bur Oak.

I am a passionate and dedicated educator with over 20 years of teaching experience. I hold a BSc in Psychology from Northeastern University in Boston, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Education from the University of Hong Kong.

Most of my career was in my hometown, Hong Kong, at the Victoria Education Organization (VEO), where I held the role of Head English Teacher. During my time at VEO, I was trained by Columbia University, the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and International Baccalaureate (IB).

Most recently, I have worked as a Grade 2 & 3 teacher at Tamim Academy of York Region in Vaughan ON.

As a Kumon parent, I have seen the benefits of early learning, and the mastery of math and reading through Kumon. I believe that constant communication is one of the most important elements in guiding your children.

I look forward to meeting you, and providing an individualized study plan that is catered towards your child’s success.
