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 JinMi Jung and I taught for over 25 years as a certified public school math teacher in South Korea after passing the national qualification exam for math teachers in public secondary schools. I want to share my knowledge and passion for mathematics and reading with your children at the Kumon Center of Leawood.

I became familiar with Kumon when I was living in South Korea and have always been intrigued by how distinct the Kumon Method is. Kumon offers an individualized learning approach, which is why people all over the world love this program. While people come from different backgrounds culturally, the desire to receive an excellent education is a common bond that is shared on a global level.

Aside from Kumon, I love to read, do arts and crafts such as origami, and spend time with my husband and two kids. I also enjoy taking walks with our wonderful puppy, Lemon.

My favorite quote is, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step" by Lao Tzu. I'm happy to be on this journey with you at the Kumon Center of Leawood.
