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. Thank you.

Biography and Background

Maame Ama Stephens, Owner and Director
Maame Stephens

In June 2019, I took over the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Charlotte Prosperity Church Road after having successfully completed the Kumon Instructor Certification Program. My educational background includes an MBA in Finance, with a Bachelor's in Banking & Finance. My 15 years in Corporate and Investment banking for several years has allowed me to sharpen my analytical thinking skills and communication skills. However, my true passion has always been education.

After seeing the positive impact that the Kumon Program had on my three boys, yes three boys, I became inspired to become a Kumon Instructor.

As a Kumon Instructor, I strive to assist your child in becoming an independent learner. I aim to bring out the best in each of my students. It is my hope that each of my students will gain a strong foundation in math and reading, gain confidence, and gain work skills that will follow them throughout life.

I can't wait to meet you and your child.
