About Your Instructor
Denio Di Lascio
Denio brings a lifelong curiosity about learning, a diverse professional background, and a genuine commitment to helping children reach their potential.
Before opening Kumon Port Moody, Denio held executive roles in large corporations and became an entrepreneur, developing educational games and digital experiences for children across South and North America and Europe. His work at the intersection of education, technology, and creativity shaped his understanding of how people learn and develop new skills.
He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, with formal specializations in Visual Arts and Instructional Design. He also completed extensive training through Team Mastery, based on Finland’s award-winning Tiimiakatemia program for team coaches.
For more than a decade, Denio has worked with over a thousand children and families in the Port Moody community. As a Kumon Instructor, he is committed to helping each student build strong foundations, develop independent learning habits, and gain confidence through consistent effort and personal progress.
Beyond his work in education, Denio is a proud father of three adult children, a lifelong surfer, and a certified yoga teacher. He enjoys hiking with his dog and taking cold-water plunges at Buntzen Lake with friends.
Denio also believes in the value of mentorship beyond the classroom. From 2015 to 2020, he volunteered as a Coach Assistant with the Port Moody Soccer Club, supporting young players aged 10 to 15 as they developed their skills, teamwork, and love of the game.
For Denio, education is about more than mastering a subject. It is about helping children discover what they are capable of, one step at a time.
At Kumon Port Moody – Newport, we help children build strong math and reading skills, develop confidence, and become independent learners.
Families value our caring, personalized approach, our experienced team, and our commitment to helping each student progress at their own pace. Whether a child needs support with schoolwork or is ready to advance beyond grade level, we focus on building the skills, discipline, and confidence that support long-term learning.
Every child's journey is different. Our goal is to help each student recognize their potential and take pride in their progress.
