About the Instructor

Welcome!

My name is Mable Suen, and I am the certified instructor at Kumon Center of San Francisco – Diamond Heights. 

In addition to providing guidance, support, and encouragement to my students as they complete class work at the center, I create individualized at-home study plans to ensure that each student makes steady and meaningful progress in our program. I believe that helping children to develop the characters and skills to become self-driven, independent learners not only enables them to succeed academically, but also empowers them to take on new challenges and pursue their dreams in the future.

My Kumon Journey

I received my elementary education in Hong Kong and completed high school in San Francisco. After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering, I started my career at the California Department of Transportation where I gained experience in project development, transportation planning, highway design, and construction.

Through my volunteering work as a Sunday school teacher and my involvement with my own children’s school and extracurricular activities, I found my passion in education and an earnest desire to help children improve and thrive. I began to explore a career change after working for more than a decade as a licensed Professional Engineer.

I was a dedicated Kumon parent before becoming an instructor myself. My interest in the Kumon Learning Method and curriculum grew as I witnessed my own children develop strong math and reading skills, self-discipline, confidence, and independence in this wonderful program. Their amazing progress motivated me to complete the extensive training to become a certified Kumon Instructor and Center Director.

Since opening my center in 2009, I have been enjoying my Kumon journey, helping students to achieve their goals and realize their potential in our program, at school and in other areas of their lives. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to contribute to education and am grateful for the trust and support of parents and teachers in our community through the years.
