Ms. Shah is the Math Instructor and Ms. Bisram is the Reading Instructor of the Astoria-South Center. They both attended Hunter College where Ms. Shah earned a B.A. in History Language Arts. Ms. Bisram earned a B.A. in Elementary Education and English Language Arts. She also earned a Masters degree in Math and Science Education and holds a teaching certificate in Elementary Education.
They decided to open their own center because of their belief in the Kumon Method of learning, which was due to working in a Kumon Center for over five years. There they observed and worked with students of various ages and ability whose self-confidence, self-discipline, and love of learning helped them achieve more on their own.
As Co-Instructors their goal for the Astoria-South Center is to give all students the opportunity to efficiently use the Kumon Method of learning in order to utilize its many benefits in their daily life.
