I graduated from the Alexandria University School of Accounting in Alexandria, Egypt, and later became a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) upon moving to California. As such, my original education and work background are in accounting, and I have worked as an accountant for various companies in and outside of the country. Before joining Kumon, I worked as a math tutor for grades 6th to 9th. I believed in the Kumon Method after I saw how it changed my own children's life, and set them apart from their classmates, so I decided to become a certified Kumon Instructor.
