About Your Instructor
SHELLY DUNNE
While my BA is in Psychology, I did not follow down that path in my career pursuits. (However, it does occasionally come in handy as a Kumon Instructor!) My first job was working for a financial institution in Minneapolis, Minnesota. After ten years, I took a “pause” and became a stay-at-home mom. Our family moved to Florida in the early 1990’s. During my children’s elementary and middle school years, I volunteered extensively in the local public schools. I came to realize my passion was (and still is) helping students work towards their full potential and watching them grow in confidence as they attain mastery in the core subjects of Math & Reading.
After volunteering at Kumon of Ponte Vedra for two years, I took over the center in 2004. The past 20+ years have been rewarding and exciting times for me. I truly love my role as a mentor, providing guidance, support and encouragement in each child’s academic journey to excellence!
