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 Photo

My name is Pauline Do and I am a certified Kumon Instructor at the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Richardson-North. Prior to my journey with Kumon, I was a licensed Senior Financial Advisor for over 10 years. I received a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Management Information Systems at the University of Texas at Dallas in 2002 and applied my knowledge of logistics, operations, and management to help individuals achieve financial security. I enjoyed educating my clients of strategies, opportunities, and investments that empowered them to achieve retirement goals and milestones.

After starting my family and helping my daughters with their homework, I realized students do not receive enough practice to master concepts in math or reading in school. I learned of the Kumon Method from researching various programs that would provide the additional support needed to fill the gap left by traditional education systems. I was specifically drawn to the Kumon Method because it provides tools that not only reinforces each student’s learning, but empowers them to develop skills and comprehension beyond their grade level. This concept of empowering students aligned well with my former career and experience. As I went through the curriculum with my daughters, I discovered a new passion, to help others like them achieve their educational goals and milestones.

Since becoming a certified Kumon Instructor, I have been able to help many students reach grade level and beyond. It has been rewarding to watch children grow as independent learners and gain self-confidence thanks to the Kumon Program. In my spare time, I enjoy volunteering at my daughters' school, spending time with my family, and learning to cook new dishes. I look forward to connecting with your family and planning your child’s path to success!
