About Your Instructor
Girisha Sonawane
Girisha Sonawane received her Master of Laws in Criminology. Prior to opening the Kumon Math and Reading Center of San Ramon, Girisha worked as an Human Resources manager at two IT companies for over 2 years.
The motivation to become a Kumon Instructor came from her own children’s Kumon experience. After several years of Kumon study, Girisha was very impressed by her son and daughter's progress in math and reading. This experience made her a believer in the Kumon Method to not only benefit a student’s basic skills development, but also lifelong learning skills.
After spending time with her kids on Kumon exercises and enjoying their success in math and reading, Girisha came to realize that it would be even more fun and enjoyable to turn helping and educating children into a career of her own.
