About the Instructor

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.

My name is Bhavia Banker and I am the Instructor at Kumon of Silver Spring - North. 

I graduated with a Masters Degree in Accounting, so I’ve always had a passion for numbers. Throughout my career, I became more focused on customer service and I found myself really loving to work with people. After I became a mom, I started noticing gaps in the education system where students, including my own children, were not developing as smoothly as I believed they should have been. 

This realization led to me enrolling my children in the local Kumon Center. During their enrollment at Kumon, I fell in love with the program and I was so amazed to see how my children developed, both in what they were able to accomplish in math and reading but also their attitude towards study, independence, confidence, and character. 

I wanted to spread this method with more students in the community, so I decided to have my own Kumon Center. I am very excited to be able to serve the community in this way, and I am looking forward to meeting with you and helping you achieve your child’s educational goals!
