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 :)
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.

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
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

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.

To cut it short. Kumon made me go insane. I learnt more from the people Indian person on YouTube. That Indian was a 7 year old child
My mother enrolled me in Kumon when I was in second grade, and even though I've never liked doing Kumon that much, I recognized how massive of an advantage Kumon gave me when I was in fifth grade. In fifth grade, I was already doing seventh-grade math and some basic eighth-grade math. Right now, I am in sixth grade and I am currently doing tenth and eleventh-grade mathematics all thanks to Kumon. When I think of Kumon now, I can't think of any bad things about it other than it repeating the same worksheets over and over again for a long time in level F, which wasted alot of time, but I assumed it was probably just so we could do better in higher levels that require a solid foundation of level F.

Hello I am not speaking as a parent but as a student at kumon i find it no help, the staff where I go are very rude and i am in year 7 and I am doing year 2 work, they put children lower level then shown and the prices are rip-off as most kids hate going there.
If you are a parent reading my review please do not send your kids there.
Oh and I rate it a 0-5 it just wont let me do 0.
This place scares me. I went there as a kid and when I pass by Kumon, I just see the somwhat unhappy face. If you want to be sad, go to kumon. I would've done a lower rating if I could.
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.

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.

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

It's so bad it's so stressful you they put you back if you have to miss class it's sucks and that's it
My experience going there. First the reason I don't recommend going there is they make you do some test and they only give you 15 expecting you to Finnish it light speed and it multiplication, devision, adding, and subtracting I didn't do it on time but did really good on the test but they said I couldn't do multiplication and devision cause of my time what they did is make me do adding and subtracting which I already knew and that was a waste of my time cause they give you like 4 packets of this work math and reading they expect you to do in a week which was a waste of time since I already knew that. The reason why they make you do this is because they want to make it look like your kid is learning something. If you wanna save your money I would just recommend making your kids do khan academy or you can find a really good program that show instructions on your learning plus you can start them off a grade level they are. The second reason is mentally health this stuff made me stressed out on how much things I had to do in a week (every week), let's say they have a lot of homework that's due at the end of the week you have muti task to make sure you have that 4-5 packets done so they don't make you redo that stuff and make you do it again. Just please don't sigh your kids up for look for a cheaper program or a free please.
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
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.
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
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 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.

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)
Tbh it made me traumatized me. The main teacher scared everyone and most of the time I would see kids younger then me running outside crying and lying to leave quickly. Try anything else but this place. Your kids will never enjoy learning as much ever
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

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 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.
Tip for consumers:
$#*! you kumon. My life is ruined because of you.
