About Your Instructor
HUSNA LAPIDUS
Center Director | Educator | Advocate for Growth
With a background in law and a deep passion for education, I bring both structure and compassion to my role as Center Director at Kumon of Manlius. I’ve studied advanced mathematics, child development, and educational leadership—and I’m committed to helping each student grow not only academically, but as confident, capable individuals.
As a certified Kumon Instructor with specialized training in early literacy, behavior management, and culturally responsive teaching, I’m here to meet learners where they are and help them rise. But more than that, I believe true success is measured by what students can do without me. When they no longer need my help, I know I’ve done my job right.
At our center, I also prioritize mentorship for our team members. Whether you’re a high school student learning professionalism for the first time, or a college student preparing for your career, I want your time at Kumon to be a stepping stone toward something even greater. I’m proud to support your growth—and I expect you to bring your best in return.
