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. One of the most important aspects of success with the Kumon Method is to trust the method's half century of research into the best practices in use of the method and the Instructor's intention of moving ahead with the just right amount of pages and repetition.
