Kumon

Kumon is a horrible education system which I've been forced to stay in until middle school. The lady there charges 320 dollars a month and expects me to get all the answers correct. I'm only in 4th grade and the lady there tells my parents lies and gets me grounded, and she doesn't even know how to count pages. The lady there gets furious when I miss pages on accident or if I don't write neat. The people who mark the Kumon books are high school students and rely on answer books. Not their brains they have holiday packs to do on the Christmas holidays. Would you rather do homework on the holidays or do about 16-20 books for your holiday? You start in early January and all through to November. I'd rather drink sweat than attend Kumon!

Which kumon excessive amount of homework, you could loose exercise, time with family and friends, and outside. Also, Kumon may cause children to be involved in a conflict with a parent. Kumon is also very expensive. The teachers only rely on answer books to help students, giving no info why that is the correct answer. The homework can cause children to have no time in finishing school homework, causing grades to worsen.

Not pleased at all about the academy. The instructors are mainly high school students who have no training in teaching the basics in reading, writing or math. Booklets are sent home daily. They do not challenge the students enough. Took my daughter out after a week. Their policy was is any missed class no make up and 1 month notice should be given. Overly charged.

Like your mental health? To bad throw it out the window by doing Kumon! I swear to got all they teach in math if fractions and make you want to do something horrible, kumon can be helpful for basic things but then they teach you super unhelpful math that you will never use even in school. It seems as the only unit they can help with in school is fraction and NOTHING else. The teachers at some locations are really old and just look at you funny if you dont know what to do, or get mad at you for not showing your work. I have a deep hatred for this company. Do not traumatize yourself and stay out of Kumon.

This stupid thingy is sapping the life out of my friends. I am in pain just watching him do it. I tried one of the sheets myself and let's just say, I have done harder worksheets in 1st grade. This sheet is making me want to commit mass genocide. It is just depressing that some people are forced to do this fricking sheet. I am using all my power to not use actual cuss words. So people at kumon stop messing around and use your brain (if you have one) and stop and get some help. YOU ARE A FAILURE

I would not recommend kumon to your children because they give out so much packets and they're really rude. There's this one lady that is nice to little kids but is rude to the older kids.My kid says its really stressful cause how many packets they don't explain when they teach they just give so many packets its not acceptable.

Kumon took a year of our tuition money for our children. Two months later they abruptly and without explanation closed the center. They have since refused to give us a refund and corporate will not return our calls.

It was just plain bad. I had to write so much things! Also it is VERY VERY boring. I never had fun doing these. OH MY GOD this is the worst education thing ever.

It's so bad. I'm currently in kumon and it is so much for me. I have other things to focus on which now made it ruin my mental health real, i think about death on a daily basis when i do this. (i'm forced so pls free me) don't recommend

Kumon is a memory based process which is for dumb people,they don't have any methodology for brain improvement.I put my kid at kumon and after a while when I asked new Lynn branch head ti explain me the method she was very rude and could not explain anything.As long she was making money she was extremely nice and when you question her she turns total opposite,I believe that says a lot about it.lots of parents who are not well educated they waste their money without understanding the methodology and its not going help their child in any way.I do not recommend Kumon to anybody.Jolly Sen(child -Pearl Ghosh)

I'm very grateful to both amazing Kumon teachers (Ms. Lydia Wong & Mr. Keith Wong) and the staffs at Garden City Kumon.
My kids have been successful and passionate in Mathematics because of the teaching, guidance & the support they get from Garden City Kumon. I'm so pleased of what my boys are doing at Kumon. They're not only learning math beyond their grade levels, but also building up their confidence, independence & accountability. Thank you for shaping my boys' characters along the way! Years well spent in Kumon.

I would highly recommend Kumon to all parents to build a strong & solid foundation for your children's academic development. A big thank you to Lydia & Keith for sharing your talent and continuous hard work to teach the younger generations. You guys are awesome and our children's role models :)

Parents - if you WANT YOUR CHILDREN TO LEARN, give them an ACTUAL LEARNING PLATFORM like IXL, ALEKS, etc.

Kumon is just incredibly boring, repetitive worksheets (4+3,4+4,4+5, etc) for ENDLESS WEEKS - instead of ACTUAL INSTRUCTION and ASSESSMENT.

Kumon's "instructors" are NOT TRAINED EDUCATORS. They simply buy a franchise license, hire teenagers to help and RUN A BUSINESS.

You will get MUCH MORE for your kids with one of the proper online platforms like IXL, ALEKS, etc.

We did math with Kumon over this summer. My son's time, skills, and confidence shot up. Ms. Patel was so patient with him, spending extra time to make sure he understood the assignment and felt comfortable. I feel like I'm sending my son to middle school with a solid math background.

Kumon is a dull, boring method of teaching "math". They call themselves, "The best Mathematics and English program." More like the worst! What people would expect from a place like that would be that there would be a teacher that can help us students and at least put the books in order. But no. At this point, our parents are paying $300+ a month for the same WORKSHEETS. Not to mention, I get up to NINE of the same worksheets in a pile of assignments. NINE! Are they too broke to make more? Are they just lazy? Or is it the dumb Kumon Way? The "instructors" are also utterly useless and when you ask for help they say, "Use the examples," when they don't even give any!

This facility does not care about their families. Their curriculum is set up to make sure you continue spending your money and they prolong their teachings by going 2 grades back to "refresh" students on material they already know just to keep you longer. I asked to stop the program and instead of being told the steps to do this, I was asked to call in to speak about it. Then, they would not relay my messages to the coordinator and if they did I still did not receive call backs and when I called she was unavailable.

I usually like doing Kumon, but having to finish 30 pages after a long day at school seems unreasonable. I get out of school at 5:10, which means I would have to work on Kumon until 10 PM and then spend an additional two hours on my regular homework. Because of my probable autism, I often get sidetracked while working on it, and end up petting my dog, wandering around the house, or fidgeting with my pencil, which is not productive at all. All of this makes the experience less than ideal. It can be challenging to focus on the task at hand, given the distractions. I can barely get any sleep thanks to Kumon. I've tried pleading my mom to get me out, but it really hasn't worked... On the other hand, I guess its a good punishment? Or a helping hand, Idk

I sent my child to Kelmscott Kumon Centre, Perth. My child hates Kumon because of the repetitive & mind-numbingly boring worksheets. Endless memorization. Staff are high school students who grade and don't teach.
