As a chief assistant at her mother’s Kumon Center, Lipi Singh always had a heart for educating others. But after college and receiving dual bachelors’ degrees, she wanted to experience more in the corporate world.
While she enjoyed being on her own for a few years, it wasn’t giving her the same satisfaction of helping students at her mother’s Kumon Center. She decided she wanted to give back to her community. Educating students wasn’t just a side job for extra money anymore. She decided to become a Kumon Instructor at the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Coppell – East.
“My mother has always been my biggest mentor growing up, and because of her, I knew that I wanted to have my own business but still make an impact on the community – and Kumon is the perfect fusion of that,” said Lipi Singh, Instructor of Kumon of Coppell – East. “To learn concepts years above grade level independently is a miraculous skill in itself, and I look forward to fostering that ability at my center.”
When Lipi made the decision to open her own center and to join her mother as a Kumon Instructor, she was met with extensive support.
