About the Instructor

Hello! I’m Daniela Stefanescu, and I’m proud to be the certified Instructor at the Kumon Math and Reading Centre of North York–Bedford Park. I’ve been part of our Kumon community since 2004 and have had the privilege of leading the centre since 2008.

Over the years, I’ve had the joy of watching students — from preschoolers to high schoolers — build strong math and reading skills, grow in confidence, and achieve academic success. I truly believe that with the right guidance and encouragement, every student can unlock their full potential.

As a Mechanical Engineer with a lifelong passion for math and problem-solving, I understand how a strong foundation in learning can open doors to limitless opportunities. As a Kumon parent myself, I experienced first hand how the Kumon Math and Reading Programs build not only academic skills but also confidence, independence, and resilience in students.

After more than 20 years of delivering the Kumon Method, I continue to be inspired by the beauty, logic, and structure of the program. Watching students develop their math and reading abilities — and more importantly, their self-learning skills — is incredibly rewarding.

At Kumon Bedford Park, my goal is to nurture each student’s natural curiosity and help them become confident, capable learners who are prepared to succeed in school and thrive in life.

I truly believe that with the right guidance andperseverance, every child can become their own best teacher — and Kumon provides the perfect path to make that happen.

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.
