About Your Instructor
Puja Patel
Hello! My name is Puja and I am excited to be the instructor at your local Kumon!
I earned a bachelor's and master's degrees from Georgia State University in Early Childhood Education with a specialization in Mathematics and English as a Second Language (ESOL). As a child, my siblings and I were also Kumon students.
Education is my passion, and I have been working with children for several years in professional and voluntary capacities. Prior to going through the rigorous training with the Kumon Program and its methodology, I was an elementary education teacher. I also spent some time volunteering with a non-profit organization called Tiny Smiling Faces whose vision is to aid the development and well-being of disadvantaged children by providing proper food, medicine, clothing, and education. Through these experiences, I have learned to better myself as a teacher and more importantly as a person. I truly enjoy working with children and being able to leave a positive mark in their lives at such an early stage in their education.
