I'm Vanessa, the instructor at the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Redmond Ridge. I've been working with the children and families in this wonderful neighborhood since opening the center in 2008.
I first learned about Kumon when my oldest son, who's now in college, came home from daycare one day asking to go to Kumon with his friend. We signed him up, and he made awesome progress. I loved the strength he gained from the program and ultimately decided on a career change to become a Kumon Instructor myself.
As a Kumon Instructor, I serve as a mentor who guides 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, and become more self-reliant. I love education and I also love helping children succeed.
