About Your Instructor
David Kim
Welcome to Kumon Tustin Market Place! Thank you for taking the time to check out our homepage. In this section, I'd like to introduce myself - my background and my philosophy when it comes to working with children and creating an environment that enables confidence and success.
About Myself:
- I grew up in Orange County and am a proud product / alumni of the Kumon Math and Reading Program (1st grade thru middle school so I know what it takes to succeed with the Kumon program but I can also share how much I have benefited from the program both academically and professionally!)
- In high school, I excelled both in the classroom and on the tennis courts - I was a top-ranked USTA player in Southern California and received multiple distinctions in my League; I also coached tennis for players preparing for high school JV and Varsity tennis programs. I believe coaching youth sports and working with children in the classroom have so many similarities that many tend to overlook.
- Professionally, I spent over 15 years working in investment banking / private equity / management consulting which means I worked with a lot of numbers, presentations, and have been on more flights than I can count.
- Current OC resident with three children of my own with two children currently enrolled in Kumon Math and Reading and loving it!
I cannot wait to meet your children and families. Our Kumon program is not just an after-school enrichment program but it is an academic program that is bolstered by support from our center instructors and parents alike. We help our children thrive through daily "muscle building" via homework packets that are specifically tailored for each child's respective pace. Through constant communication - both in-person and virtually, it is my number one goal to share each child's strengths and weaknesses as we collectively build our children up for continued success both academically and beyond!
You will be amazed to see the growth and development in your children's mental and physical stamina. I am here to support, guide, and encourage our children - please reach out or stop by to learn more!
Sincerely,
Mr. David Kim
