About Your Instructor
Radka Holan
I am a civil engineer by training, however, I preferred working with children since I was 16. years old. During my university studies, I spent my summers as a camp leader and volleyball coach. After graduation, I decided to enroll in education courses.
When I received my teaching certificate, I took a position as an English and Technology teacher at the elementary school.
Shortly after immigrating to Canada, my children were born. As my children grew and became more independent, I decided to start my own business. Becoming a Kumon Instructor was an idea that occurred to me a few years ago.
I first heard about Kumon when my son was in Kindergarten. I did not enroll my children until later when I saw their lack of progress resulting from the ineffective method of teaching at school. My children have been enrolled in both math and reading for the past seven years, my son in grade 4 and my daughter in grade 2.
As a Kumon parent, I know the program is very effective. The early exposure to the Kumon method develops necessary fundamental math and reading skills that are important to further students' education and achieve their potential.
