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 :)
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.
I don't like Kumon because it's like homework on the weekends and weekdays I just don't like it because they yell at kids when I was at Kumon and other kids were tortured honestly it did not really help me that much it puts me more anxiety and low confidence. 0/10 I won't recommend
Kumon had been great and helpful program. My kids used to go to Kumon after school or sometime weekends to study for their school works. However, I found out about this online tutoring website for kids called Beestar from some friends of mine and surprisingly, it worked well for my kids. The fact that it is free and fully online, I've saved a lot of money and could spend more time with my kids and help them with their study.
My child came in for an assessment, only to be turned away and the instructor bluntly told me they did not want to work one on one with my child. We left and will not be considering or recommending Kumon to any friends or relatives.

None, we were turned away by the instructor.
I went to Kumon since yr 2 and stopped in yr 5 and let me tell you it was a living hell. The tutors were not helpful and did nothing, it was the same things over and over again, and there were mountains of homework.
I would give it 4/5 but it got into my life too much like how am I supposed to enjoy the holiday. I get that I could just completely erase the gaming part of my routine but that's just going to make the entire day boring. More stress than it's really worth tbh
Worest experience ever
First of all they refuse to teach my kid grade 10 according to her school curriculum and said that they follow their arranged structure, well but my kids has exam soon,
Help her to do well at the Exam
You can be flexible with your schedule and structure to support her so she can do well at her exam. They REFUSE as well
Worst experiences ever.,,, what is the benefit of going to Kumon if they will teach her after she go for her exam ….when I asked to withdraw my kids and asked for refund they refuse to do that
1 week after registration.
Secondly, they said free assessment and once you sign up your child they charge you 80$ registration fee plus 30$ material despite they use their I pad, no material will be given …
Totally non sense
Really So bad experience. Unpleasant one
Tip for consumers:
Awful experience, DID NOT RECOMMEND IT

Kumon is horrible they don't care about your Mental health. They give you over 15 pages of math or reading. They give you homework everyday with over 15 pages. The teachers don't help they just give you a packet and expect you to know everything if you need help you to go up and ask you but what if your an introverted person like me. It's horrible, if you actually like your kids then avoid Kumon
Read the termination requirements carefully as they will send you directly to collections and then to credit report without notification. Attempted to dispute with collection agency as requested, as Kumon NEVER even called me, and without a single response to my dispute I took a hit to my credit rating. Draconian practice and ruthless money grabbers. Foretold is forewarned.
Tip for consumers:
Their system works...but so does torture. Perfect place to make your kids HATE education; repetitive and boring.

The kids did not like the drill questions. I completely understand it is to help students with learning the basic skills and to have it memorized by heart but the whole system is just too exhausting for the kids. We use other online programs and so far Beestar has done a great job for the kids.
In my opinion, it is just so depressing to go there. The homework is just bad. They make you remember the anwser for each worksheet. As a result, you do not learn anything at all. I do not recommend other people to go there because it wastes time and money.
I am a sophomore in highschool and I have completed up to level M in kumon mathematics. Unfortunately, I STRONGLY do not recommend this program. First of all, students focus on the same subject for 200 pages (which is 1 level). The reason this is bad is because it takes a long time to complete one level and if students are focusing on the same thing, it takes them a very long time to move on to different subjects. You might be thinking "well they are just trying to get you to know the subject," but kumon basically just takes the same 35 questions and repeats them. Second reason is that it is VERY expensive. For worksheets that are not that effective, they make you pay a lot! So in my opinion, I would recommend other programs because this one is not good at all!
They expect you to now the the work with no help and made me re think my life decisions and made me regret all the times I said my normal school was bad in Kumon if you talk you get in trouble but in a normal school you can talk on a regular base and you leave when you are done with it then you can leave henry if you see this please try to let them have a reward when they are done or let them talk so they can make some friends and so you get more customers to make more money and for the good of the kid also in a kid writing this.
Kumon is hell for children they give you to much work and makes you cry it is the worst place ever I don't even know how it is still up it is the worst the people who work there don't even help there's so many kids that hate it actually all the kids
As a student at Kumon I can't say first hand that it is not worth it. Not worth your money or your kids time. I am learning at a fourth grade level at Kumon but at ivy math (different tutoring place) I was learning on a middle school level. Overall don't waste your money on Kumon.
Overall it's just stupid, I'm currently in it right now, and ever since I started it my mental health has been going downhill, it's just so stressful, and their methods are $#*!, I continuously have to juggle kumon and school at the same time, and their packets don't help me at all at school, and its just a big waste of money, so do not enroll in it.

I sent my daughter to the one on kelior road she said that the people there were rude to her and that the employees there got mad at her for every single thing she did wrong and thats not very nice for a child to go through that do better
I would never do this in my life, this place is like hell. I hate one of the teachers name asmita, she's the worst and doesn't help me at all and she's always takes my phone when i don't have it, she takes my phone away but not others when they have it out, it's bull$#*!, the whole place is bull$#*!, this doesn't help me with school, or help me to look stupid, the checkers r not doing their job, it take like 30 min long to check it, so i leave the place
It's ridiculous don't waste your time. They put you at a lower level than what you go in for and don't help at all. I resorted to just cheating on my homework because it was so repetitive. Everytime I got close enough to pass a level they sent me back down to the 20s to restart. Thankfully band got in the way and I couldn't go anymore.
My experience with Kumon has been bad. I enrolled by 7th grader in Kumon. It's a year now that the instructor is repeating him in 2nd grade level work. I have realized that many other parents have similar experience. Kumon us a rip-off scam. They make your child look dumb so that they can keep repeating the child and keep charging you. My advice is to beware of Kumon. It's a scam run by Asians
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.
Tip for consumers:
No value at all. Students (6th grade!) are simply forced to do the same repetitive single digit addition for ENDLESS WEEKS while taking YOUR MONEY. There is NO INSTRUCTION.

I go to Kumon in Newnan. The teachers are kind, but there are too many homeworks and schoolworks. I have a lot of homework for school, but I don't have time for them. If I accidentally forget to do my homework, they tell me to finish it. I hate how they correct the answers.
Sucks so bad like oh my gosh worst thing ever business should shut down forever. I wish the who thing closed I HATE YOU KUMON
I will highly recommend Miss Samy of Bargate Kumon Centre in Grimsby for her gentle yet firm and caring attitude to impacting knowledge to my son Jayson and this has helped him improve so much in his maths and English. Thank you for all the hard work.
I was just a normal kid. Until Kumon came along and made it torture. Everyday I'd be doing math above my level. I'd cry when no one looks so I can deal with it and when I try to take a stand no one listens. The tutors barely helped out and when I go into the center to this day, I see at least 2 kids crying in one session. But that's not the worsr part. The worst part is that they give SCHOOL HOLIDAY HOMEWORK. Giving homework in the holidays removes the entire point of having one! Not to mention since most people I speak to this about have busy holidays so we don't have time to do the homework and then when Kumon finds out it's a big deal. WELL NO! WE HAVE OUR OWN LIVES THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OUR HOLIDAYS SHOULD BE HAPPY RESTFUL AND FUN. NOT MISERABLE. THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I CRY TO KUMON MAKES ME WANT TO BLEED OUT AND BREAK MY ENTIRE SHOULDER. It may help my grades, but it ruins my mental health.
1 star. I wish I could give negative.

$#*! you kumon. My life is ruined because of you.

Everything. I hate it
My mom enrolled me in Kumon in the 2nd Grade, because I was slow at math. It was ok at first, but slowly, it started getting worse and worse. When I was having difficulty, instead of helping me, my teachers shouted at me. And instead of helping me learn the lesson when I was having a hard time, they just made me do the entire worksheet over again. Kumon also assigns homeworks every day, so when you were on vacation, you couldn't even relax. On top of all that, it was hard to balance Kumon homeworks and school assignments. So either I wouldn't do my Kumon worksheets, or I would do my Kumon worksheets but my school assignments would be past due. Overall, I $#*!ing hated it.
