“Awesome Garden City Kumon”

Serena L.
2/5/23

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 :)

“Mental and physical health worsened”

Brian S.

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.

So I was just miding my own buisness, I got heavily sick for a few days and missed a lot of lessons when i came back all my work was late and my grades tanked. That's when my mom signed me up for kumon and ruined my life. All you do in kumon is sit around and do 5 pages of work (theres a back side on the pages too so it's basically 10) i sit around there and act like everything's fine but I am dying inside and want to kill myself, THEN, you also get a packet of homework (same packets you do when you're there) for everyday until you come back. It is soul draining and boring. This made me depressed and want to commit arson inside that building. So moral of the story this place is Sh*t don't waste your money on some stupid and fake place. Also, you might think this reviiew is fake, and you see 5 star ones on google. But there's a catch right now there are only 2 reviews i feel like this is so fake and they probably got there family or close friends or any relatives to do this. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS ABSOLUTE PIECE OF SH*T.

I am enrolled into Kumon and I can tell you that it is not helpful at all and the most depressing place ever. They force you to do stupid math problems and reading questions everyday no matter what. Even during COVID, they set up an online call with you just so that you can do petty little math equations. They make you do homework everyday, especially on weekends, breaks, and more. As much as I don't like it, your child will hate it and immediately cry when they leave Kumon on the first day like I did. Never trust Kumon. Some of the people I've met at Kumon are not helpful AT ALL. If I ever asked for help on anything, it would 1 or 2 things. I would ask them a question like "I need help on this problem" and they would say the question "What is 10 divided by 5", then they would say "What is 10 spilt into 5" and I would say something like "YOU LITTLE $#*! THAT'S WHAT I NEED HELP ON" in my mind. Once I was doing an end of level test(not a big deal it's just a test asking questions that were from your previous level) and I didn't finish and it was time for me to go, I told the manager of the Kumon I was at that I had to go but when she found out that I didn't finish, SHE LITERALLY MADE ME STAY AT KUMON UNTIL CLOSING TIME TO MAKE ME FINISH THE DAMN TEST. It was painful and I was crying during most of it since those questions were pretty hard and I was forced to do it. When I finally arrived home I started crying and then started sending hate to Kumon and beating up my Kumon bag. I am telling you, Kumon is a child's worst nightmare. If any of your adult friends are thinking of enrolling their child into Kumon, tell them to look at the reviews and they will be ABSOLUTELY SHOCKED on how disappointing, disgusting, pathetic, and painful Kumon is.

Moral of the story: Kumon is like hell
