Still to this day, Kim credits her former Kumon Instructor Kayoko Barr with untapping her passion for learning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cUnder Kayoko\u2019s instruction, I began to love reading at a young age and excelled at math throughout my school years,\u201d said Kim. \u201cI have such fond memories of various math challenges the center would hold. I used to love watching my completed worksheets pile up. It was a really satisfying feeling.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7596\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-8644-e1577984074878-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"202\" height=\"269\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-8644-e1577984074878-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-8644-e1577984074878-768x1024.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 202px) 100vw, 202px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once Kim entered high school, she began working at the same center she attended as a student.

Her Kumon journey came full circle when she took over Kayoko\u2019s center.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year, Kim Nguyen, Instructor of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/kearny-mesa\" aria-label=\"Kumon of Kearny Mesa\">Kumon of Kearny Mesa<\/a>, will be celebrating her 10th anniversary as a Kumon Instructor.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 9px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSince I was a Kumon Student myself, I knew the value of the program and the potential it has to really build up a student\u2019s confidence and abilities,\u201d said Kim.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 15px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"255\" height=\"300\" class=\"wp-image-7597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-4184-255x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-4184-255x300.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-4184-768x904.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 255px) 100vw, 255px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What inspired you to become a Kumon Instructor? <\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My experience working at a Kumon Center and being able to interact with students of so many different backgrounds and levels was definitely the biggest inspiration. I love being able to work with students over long periods of time and really see their growth. It\u2019s been an absolute joy to be able to work with a student for multiple years and watch them transition from elementary to middle and high school, and then hear about their college acceptances! Kumon has allowed me to connect with so many wonderful students.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 15px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is it about being an Instructor you enjoy the most?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I enjoy the interactions with students the most. When I\u2019m helping a student with a problem and things just click in their mind, nothing compares to that feeling of truly helping someone. I love seeing that \u201cAha!\u201d moment \u2013 when they understand the concept and walk away confidently, knowing they don\u2019t need my explanation anymore since they have it themselves. Aside from instruction, moments when we can joke and talk about our favorite Pok\u00e9mon makes my days so easy and fun.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 15px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"wp-image-7598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-9507-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-9507-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-9507-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-9507.jpg 1632w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is the most valuable lesson you\u2019ve learned as a Kumon Instructor? <\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most valuable lesson I\u2019ve learned is that each student is different and there are no templates for how you should work with or plan for them. Just like there aren\u2019t any shortcuts to getting better at math, there are no shortcuts for working with students. Every student deserves and requires your utmost attention and care in order to develop their confidence and ability.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 15px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can you describe an instruction moment where you made an impact on a student?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recently, I challenged a student who had low confidence to try working independently for the day. His automatic reaction to any new concept or correction was usually to go to an assistant for help. I wanted to break this habit and show him that he had the ability to work through math on his own. At the start of class, I spoke to him about how confident I was in his ability, and how he should trust himself and try things on his own. After building him up, he completed his entire long division assignment on his own without asking for help \u2013 he even got a perfect score to top it off! Since then, he has become so much more independent and confident, not only in his math, but reading as well.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 15px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who is your biggest inspiration?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\r\n<figure class=\"alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" class=\"wp-image-7599\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-4476-e1577984333221-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-4476-e1577984333221-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-4476-e1577984333221-768x1023.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kumon.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG-4476-e1577984333221.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My biggest inspiration would have to be my mother. She holds an incredible amount of kindness, empathy, and optimism that radiates in every aspect of her life \u2013 from her work as a nurse, to her role as a mother and friend to me. She has instilled in me the importance of a smile or kind word, and how little acts can change a person\u2019s day. These are all things I\u2019ve tried to carry with me in my role as a Kumon Instructor. With each interaction, whether it\u2019s with a parent or a student, I apply the rule of understanding and empathizing first before anything else.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 15px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What do you like to do in your spare time?<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve always loved creating and have dabbled in sewing, painting, drawing, printmaking, and many other crafts. I have a million projects I\u2019ve started and will pick up every so often. Aside from crafts, I also love to read, get outdoors, and play music. I\u2019m in the process of teaching myself how to play the drums, which can be challenging at times. It\u2019s less difficult when I\u2019m able to stick with my daily practice. Kumon taught me that a little practice every day makes all the difference.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"height: 15px;\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is a fun fact about you that people may not know?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m an amateur ceramicist and love working with clay!
