About Your Instructor

SHRI LACHHANDER

Kris Lachhander is an experienced professional with a background in both engineering and education. He earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering and a Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Polytechnic Institute of New York University. At University, Kris’s dedication to education and learning extended beyond his own studies as he found joy in tutoring his fellow classmates and students in math and physics. This passion led him to work as a lecturer in these subjects before starting his engineering career.

Following his graduate education and teaching, Kris worked as an engineer and has over three decades of experience in nuclear reactor design under several multi-national companies that include General Electric, Lockheed Martin, and Bechtel. Driven by his passion forteaching and mentoring, Kris opened a Kumon center while still pursuing his engineering career. He is energized when students “light up” after overcoming challenging concepts. His desire to help students learn and grown prompted him to open the center while still working full-time as an Engineer, because he embraces the Kumon philosophy of helping students to learn how to learn, a life skill.

Kris worked both jobs for over twelve years before retiring from his engineering job and focusing on Kumon full time. Kris was trained and certified in the Kumon method of learning by Kumon, North America. He truly believes in the Kumon method and is eager to share its strengths with parents and students.

Kris resides in Clifton Park, NY with his wife Lakshmi, and they have two sons and a daughter together. Outside of his role as a Kumon Instructor, Kris enjoys traveling, gardening, exercising, and learning about new cultures and innovation.

“Don't give up whenever the work becomes challenging. You just need to keep on trying and you'll get it. I think Kumon has made me smarter in general. I get really into the Reading Program because it uses passages from interesting stories, and I enjoy reading them.”

“Kumon has helped me to better handle making mistakes. Before I started Kumon, I had a breakdown every time I made a mistake but because Kumon is so challenging, I have learned that it's okay to make mistakes because you can learn from them.”
Calvin

“Kumon has taught me to persevere. There are times when the assignments are hard, but I am determined to work through the challenging assignments. Getting independent practice on my assignments is a great way to prepare me for times in life when I may have to work alone.”
