About Your Instructor
Kevin McQuarrie
My name is Kevin McQuarrie, and I am the proud Instructor of the Pickering - Kingston & Rougemount Centre.
Ever since I was young, the concept of academic development has always run in my blood. My mother and father - a Math teacher and a Safety Instructor, respectively - had always taught me the value of putting the needs of others before my own, and therefore I have always loved helping others to learn and be their best selves.
I had envisioned myself becoming a high school teacher one day, specifically to teach Mathematics, Biology, or Chemistry. While looking to build my resume, I began working in a local Kumon centre, which I simply thought was a standard tutoring program. It turned out to be far more than that, and once I started studying how the Kumon Program worked, I developed a true passion for it. After several years of becoming more and more engrossed in it, I decided to pursue the Kumon Franchise as my own career path. Everyone had always advised me to pursue my passion, and so I did just that!
I graduated from the University of Toronto with an Honours Bachelor of Science degree in Human Biology, with a minor in Psychology as well. Immediately after graduating, I began my training at the Kumon North American headquarters in Teaneck, NJ, and became the Instructor for our Kumon Centre in February 2016.
I spend my free time with my amazing wife, Emma, and our three beautiful children: Jade, Mason, and Lincoln. My family is the light of my life.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me a little. I look forward to getting to know you as well!
