About Your Instructor
JOHN REDDING
I'm originally from northern Illinois, which you might pick up on when you hear somewhat of a Chicago accent or my complaining about the pizza in the area.
My original dream was to be a math teacher and tennis coach. However, my career path took me elsewhere... working as an actuary and engineer... then eventually teaching at a private school. Running a Kumon Center is the culmination and application of applying a love of math, language arts and teaching.
I have tried to create a learning center where kids love to come. In addition to enriching my students academically, they also have fun at the center: fun prizes from our treasure chest, gift cards to local stores, hot chocolates in the cold months and fruit juice slushies in the warm months, etc. Parents are treated well, too! There is coffee, tea and biscotti for them in our comfortable waiting room.
