About Your Instructor
HEMA POPAT
My name is Hema Popat, and I am a proud Kumon parent! Even though both of my sons have moved onto college and the workforce, I will still always consider myself a Kumon parent due to the great success we experienced! I am an experienced business professional and a Certified Management Accountant with extensive expertise in all facets of business management. Additionally, I hold a Six Sigma Green Belt certification, demonstrating my commitment to process improvement and efficiency.
After witnessing my sons' growth firsthand, I began my Kumon journey in 2012 and left a demanding career in finance to establish my own center within my community. My goal is simple: to provide quality education to children, just as I did for my own. Among the many skills I have acquired throughout my career, exceptional customer service remains at the core of my approach! I am dedicated to understanding any concerns and maintaining an open communication to support both the parent and the student throughout the program. Parent conferences are available year-round as well as touch base conferences. I am always accessible beyond class hours to ensure a seamless and enriching learning experience.
Kumon is an incredibly rewarding experience! I have seen students not only excel academically but also develop independence, focus, self-motivation, and confidence. Watching students transform along this journey and realize their full potential is truly inspiring! Practice makes possibilities at Kumon of East Hanover!
