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.

Ms Vivian Lu is currently the Instructor and the Center Director of the West Lafayette Kumon Center. She succeeded Mrs Atsuko Nakanishi, who was a former student of Toro Kumon and the founding director of the West Lafayette Kumon Center. Ms Vivian graduated from UCLA, and worked in San Diego and Boston before moving to West Lafayette with her family. She is a Kumon parent with two children enrolled in the program. Witnessing how the children learn and how they build the confidence, she likes to introduce the Kumon method to other parents.
