Meet the Instructor

Susan Baylis
Blackfen Meet The Instructor KumonWelcome to the Blackfen New Eltham Kumon Study Centre. My name is Susan Baylis and I am the Instructor for the Blackfen Centre, based at the popular Blackfen School for Girls. Having lived in this area for over 25 years, I originally trained as a teacher and am extremely enthusiastic about the Kumon method, particularly now that I can see the progress that students can make. As the parent of a Kumon student I understand what's involved at home as well!

I teach English as a Second/Other Language (ESOL) to adults as well and find this experience helpful to my Kumon students who speak English as a second or third language. In the past I have also worked closely with dyslexic learners. This year I am studying for a postgraduate qualification in education at the University of Greenwich.

The Blackfen Centre currently has 11 staff and a receptionist. Staff are CRB checked and trained.
