About Your Instructor
DAVITRA LAWRENCE
From an early age, I wanted to be a teacher. I even studied for tests by pretending to teach imaginary students! I earned a degree in Elementary Education specializing in Reading at Texas Tech University. I have taught second grade, supervised a Grade 1-12 classroom at a private school, and assisted the reading specialist at a high school. As a Kumon instructor, I have enjoyed working with families and watching students develop over a number of years.
There are many things I love about Kumon. I appreciate the strong structure of the program that develops mastery of math calculation skills and reading comprehension skills. I also appreciate the way that structure is partnered with flexibility to meet the needs of each individual student. I value the emphasis on building self-learning skills and the confidence to try before asking for help. It is a joy to support students as the pursue their full potential.
