About Your Instructor
Fariba Reyhani Shalmani
With over 14 years of international teaching experience as a mathematics teacher and a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership, education has always been more than a profession to me. It is a lifelong passion. Throughout my career, I have been dedicated to helping students discover their strengths, build confidence, and reach their full potential. As both an educator and a mother, I understand the importance of nurturing not only academic abilities but also independence, resilience, and a genuine love of learning.
What truly inspires me about the Kumon Method is its focus on developing confident, independent, lifelong learners. Beyond strengthening math and reading skills, Kumon helps children build essential lifelong habits, including self-discipline, perseverance, strong work habits, and the confidence to approach challenges independently. I strongly believe these qualities lay the foundation for success far beyond the classroom.
I am excited to bring my experience and passion for education to the River District community and create a welcoming, encouraging environment where every child feels supported, challenged, and proud of their progress. I look forward to partnering with families and helping each student discover just how much they are capable of achieving.
