Daniella is a Gungahlin local who was a student at Kumon Gungahlin, worked as an assistant in the Centre whilst at school, and went on to complete a Bachelor of Commerce and became a Chartered Accountant. After working several years at PricewaterhouseCoopers and The Department of Home Affairs, she decided that Kumon and education was her passion and returned to Kumon Gungahlin.

Daniella worked for five years as the senior centre assistant at Kumon Gungahlin prior to becoming an Instructor. In this role, she helped hundreds of students to develop their mathematics and reading skills. Daniella also worked closely with the former Instructor, Susan Davis, and built strong relationships with the centre’s students and families. It was Daniella’s experience as the senior assistant that motivated her to become the new Instructor of Kumon Gungahlin.

“I love working with students and helping them discover that they can learn anything by taking small steps forward each day. It is also incredibly rewarding to see a child’s confidence and belief in themselves grow, which is what I aim for with each student at Kumon Gungahlin”

“I want my students to know that I believe in them and that I am there to support them. I want them to be resilient, bold, embrace challenges, try new things, learn from their mistakes, and go after their dreams”
