Kumon of Austin – Mueller is Now Accepting New Students
– As an elementary school teacher in the greater Austin area, Raquel Macleod has had the privilege of sculpting young minds for more than a decade. Now, she continues to do the same but with a new lens. Macleod is the new owner and Instructor of Kumon of Austin – Mueller, and is excited to get to work instilling academic confidence and independence in local students.
“When the opportunity came for me to integrate my knowledge in education with opening my own business, I didn’t think twice,” said Raquel Macleod, owner and Instructor of Kumon of Austin – Mueller. “My passion for teaching, belief in the Kumon Method, and a desire to help and to be more involved in my community were all factors in making this new venture a reality.”
