About the Instructor

Introduction

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.

Biography and Background

Instructor Grace received a BA from Middlebury College with a dual biochemistry and music major and an MD from New York Medical College. She finished four years of residency training in Emergency Medicine and has worked at Winthrop University Medical Center as a board certified Emergency Medicine Attending and Stony Brook Medical School Associate Professor for almost 10 years.

 

In order to have more time with her family, and to find a place in this world in which to combine her two passions of helping children and impacting community, Grace decided to make a career change. Kumon was an obvious choice, and thirty years later she is pleased to be back to where she started. Grace was a Kumon student for many years and the Kumon Method prepared her for college, medical school and beyond. Grace's passion for education also stems from her own experience as a Kumon mom, wanting her four children to become confident, independent thinkers. Grace is very excited and grateful for the opportunity to help your children meet their full potential through the amazing Kumon Method.
