Jason and Rico Au, Instructors of Kumon of Calgary – South and Kumon of Calgary – Castleridge<\/b><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Red, Green, Blue, or Purple. Jason Au, Instructor of Kumon of Calgary – South, knew that by the end of summer his jet black hair would be dyed bright.\u00a0 What he didn\u2019t know was what color he would be sporting. That decision was up to his students. Jason\u2019s brother Rico, Instructor of Kumon of Calgary – Castleridge, faced a similar predicament. The color choices were different, but he knew his time with black hair was limited. How did the former marketing professional and elementary school teacher end up in this position?<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"Rico<\/p>\n

Jason and Rico Au have been involved with Kumon for almost a quarter century\u00ad\u2014first as students, then as centre assistants, and now as Instructors. Despite spending time in other careers, both brothers jumped at the chance to own the centre that they had attended as children. When their childhood Instructors decided to retire and sell their other centre, the brothers bought that one, too. Rico and Jason both love working with children, but their two decades of Kumon experience has taught them that students don\u2019t always run into the centre eager to learn.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Encouraging students can take patience, empathy, and even a bit of ingenuity.\u00a0 Sometimes it\u2019s as simple as providing additional examples so a student learning algebra for the first time can solve problems confidently. Or it could mean sitting down with a kindergartner, listening seriously to her concerns and working together to come up with a plan. Even if her concern is figuring out how to carve out more minutes in the day for playtime. (These are both situations that Rico and Jason faced recently.) Whatever it takes, the Aus are committed to making sure their students don\u2019t get discouraged, but instead look forward to doing their Kumon.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"Poster<\/p>\n

This dedication led to a rather unique contest last summer. Wanting to encourage their students to study hard over the summer, the brothers offered up their hair as a sacrifice. Every time a student completed all of their homework assignments for the week, they were given one vote to choose what color their Instructor would dye their hair. In the end, they voted for Jason to dye his hair blue, and for Rico to dye his hair neon pink. Even though they\u2019ve gotten a few funny looks for their bright hair color, the brothers agree it was worth it to motivate their students and have some fun in the process.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

As Jason told us, \u201cIn the Kumon setting, we are afforded the luxury of being able to work and grow with our students for a number of years; the opportunity to be able to make a positive impact to hundreds of kids and help make learning easier and more fun is one that we truly treasure and enjoy.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Before becoming an Instructor, what did you do?<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Rico:<\/i><\/u><\/em> I was an elementary school teacher for eight years. I taught Grades 5 and 6 and was a Learning Leader for three years at my school.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Jason:<\/i><\/u><\/em> I was a marketing and communications professional before becoming an Instructor. My career in public and media relations \u00a0gave me the opportunity to work with a wide range of clients, including non-profit organizations and clients from real estate, oil and gas, architecture and the auto industry.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

What is the most valuable lesson you\u2019ve learned as a Kumon Instructor?<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Jason:<\/i><\/u> <\/em>Never say never. I don\u2019t try to speculate on what kids can do. I try my best to keep an open mind and let our students show us what they\u2019re capable of, while providing advice and counsel along the way. I used to think it was impossible for someone to finish the program in a year; until we had a few students who showed us how wrong we were and successfully (and happily) did that.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Rico:<\/i><\/u><\/em> Don’t judge a book by its cover. Each person has their own potential and you never know what someone can do unless you give them the opportunity to learn and practice!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\"JasonWhat achievements are you most proud of?<\/b><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Jason:<\/i><\/u><\/em> I\u2019m extremely proud of the relationship we have with our team of staff, and the relationship that our team has with our students. Many of our current staff really wanted to join our team because of the impact that our former staff members left on them. Being able to help groom our students and our team into responsible and contributing members of society who go on to do bigger and better things \u2013 that makes me proud.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Rico:<\/i><\/u><\/em> We are both very proud of the fact that our students enjoy coming to our Kumon classes because we (Instructors and Staff) have developed very positive relationships with our students. The positive learning community that we have created at our centres is one of the things that I am most proud of!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

What do you like to do in your spare time?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Rico:<\/i><\/u><\/em> I like to travel and build Legos. I enjoy going to Kumon Conferences because it’s a great way to travel!\u00a0 [In addition to areas I\u2019ve gone to for conferences,] I’ve travelled to England, Paris, Canada\u2019s east coast, Japan, and I hope to one day be able to travel to Australia, New Zealand, and Africa!<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Jason:<\/i><\/u><\/em> As Rico and I work together running both centres, family time is something that I cherish. So whenever I have spare time, I do my best to spend it with my wife and two kids. I\u2019m very fortunate to have a very supportive wife who helps look after our family while being a teacher at the same time!<\/p>\n
