About the Instructor

Hi, my name is Meena Patil and I am the instructor at the Kumon Math and Reading Center of San Pedro - Northwest. 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.

Prior to becoming a certified Kumon Instructor, I earned my Master’s Degree in Science with a concentration in Food Science and Nutrition from India.

After finishing my education, I taught 11th and 12th grade in India. Upon coming to the U.S. in 1996, I worked for various firms in and around Los Angeles as a computer programmer. I decided to become a Kumon Instructor in 2013. I’ve always had a passion for helping children to succeed and reach their full potential, as well as a deep appreciation for education and educators.

When my mother took over the Kumon Center of San Pedro - Northwest in 1995, I became very interested in learning more about Kumon. I then took over my mother's Kumon Center in 2013. As the Kumon Instructor, I look forward to helping many more children realize their true potential through study in the Kumon Program.
