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.

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the Kumon Centre of St. Thomas. I am so excited to bring Kumon into such an amazing growing community!

My journey with Kumon began 15 years ago when I found my daughter lacking the fundamental basics to advance with confidence in math. Her friends, however, were flourishing academically and exuded so much confidence in their math and reading ability. I later found out that they had been enrolled in Kumon. That’s when I decided to enroll my daughter. She quickly became more confident, independent and perseverant. She is now in her third year of University on her way to becoming a nurse. 

As a teacher for 26 years, I have seen students lacking confidence and skill and also students who are not being challenged enough. Because the Kumon Method is an individualized program, it is developed to help all children reach their true potential. After seeing how much the Kumon philosophy aligned with mine, I decided that I wanted to become a Kumon Instructor. Seeing children working 2 or 3 years above their grade level was astonishing to me. I would love all children to have that opportunity to shine.

My goal is to use my teaching experience and my Kumon knowledge to create a positive learning environment and to help your child experience the joy of Kumon as they build confidence and develop a love of learning. 

I look forward to getting to know you and being a small part of your child’s academic success.
