Former Camp Director Continues Career of Guiding Youth

HOUSTON, May 1, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Working with children has been at the heart of Stella Chen's career. As the director of an international summer camp for nine years, she enjoyed showing Chinese students a taste of American culture each summer.

A move across the country brought about a career change for Chen, which led her to immediately inquire about how to open a Kumon Center in her new community. She had known of Kumon for some time, as she enrolled her daughter years ago and witnessed her excel through the program. She was surprised at the absence of a center in Houston's Chinatown community. Today, as the new owner and Instructor of Kumon Math and Reading Center of Houston – Chinatown, she is excited to expand on her love for educating by inspiring area students to reach their full potential.

"As a Kumon parent, I have found the program's daily worksheet study to be a great guide to help my daughter reach her academic goals," said Chen, owner and Instructor of Kumon of Houston - Chinatown. "Countless children can benefit from the Kumon Method, and I'm excited to provide that opportunity in my community."
