About the Instructor

As an extensively trained and certified professional instructor, I serve as a mentor who guides your children through their work while also providing direction, support and encouragement. I create an at-home study plan in addition to monitoring classroom assignments, and I emphasize the importance of accurately completing each assignment within a designated time frame. The goal is to make then independent and build self-confidence, thus becoming more self-reliant. Like all Kumon Instructors, I have a true passion for education and an earnest desire to help children succeed.

I am Hariharan Ananthanarayanan(Hari), a passionate Roboticist (Robotics Engineer) whose love for math has been the cornerstone of a successful career in robotics. After earning a bachelor’s degree in engineering in India, I moved to the USA in 2003to pursue a master’s degree in mechanical engineering with a focus on Robotics from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. This passion continued with a PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering, specializing again in Robotics from University of Dayton.

Since 2010, I have called Washington Township my home, embracing the community’s rich diversity and vibrancy. Alongside a fulfilling career, I am a loving husband and parent to two beautiful girls and a cherished dog.

As a passionate advocate for education, I have been an enthusiastic Kumon parent for over eight years, believing deeply in the Kumon method's ability to foster independence and confidence in children This dedication is further reflected in my volunteer work with higher-grade math at the Washington Township Kumon center, where I share the principles of instilling confidence and discipline through practice.

Beyond Robotics and education, I have a range of passions including painting, woodworking, working out and tackling home projects. These interests of mine reflect my creative and hands-on approach to life that extends into all aspects of their endeavors.

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I embark on this journey with your children, helping them grow academically and develop essential learning habits for life. I truly believe in the Kumon philosophy and its ability to unlock the full potential of every child. I am focused on helping your children grow academically, while constantly working towards enhancing the overall learning environment. Together, I am confident we will help your children reach their full potential, and I look forward to being a part of their learning success
