About Your Instructor
Roopa Palakkat
Roopa opened the Kumon of Odessa Center in February 2018 after seeing the positive impact the Kumon Program had on her own children. Watching them gain confidence, independence, and stronger academic skills through consistent practice inspired her to bring those same benefits to families throughout Odessa, Trinity, New Port Richey, and surrounding communities.
With a strong belief that every child has the potential to excel, Roopa and her team is committed to helping students build a solid academic foundation through daily practice, perseverance, and individualized support. As a structured math and reading program that differs from traditional tutoring, Kumon helps students develop strong fundamentals, effective study habits, and the confidence to learn independently.
Kumon supports preschool readiness by helping young children develop focus, number and letter recognition, and early learning habits. It is also a valuable supplement for homeschooling families seeking a structured, individualized approach to math and reading.
Kumon of Odessa also offers the Kumon English for Spanish Speakers (EFL) Program, designed to help native Spanish-speaking students strengthen English reading, vocabulary, grammar, communication skills, and confidence.
Roopa partners closely with parents to create a consistent and encouraging learning environment both at home and at the Center. She values open communication and believes that collaboration and consistent effort are key to long-term success.
