Kumon Reviews

My daughter has been with Kumon for 6 years now i think i agreed with the repetition method for practising mathematics However due to Covid19 all the classes stopped so we cant attend the centre anymore so for English as a non-native speaker i dont think is effective as before Also as a parent we have been asking to not even marking the homeworks so that my daughter can do the correction straightaway which i dont really mind but we have been asked to do a report do record time and mistakes for the kumon owner so that they can give worksheets according to the progress We marked the worksheets we did the report so basically we did everything i have a feeling of we just buying the worksheets with NO FEES adjustment at all in this COVID 19 period I have so far expressed my concerns to the KUMON office but no reply at all So i think at this period there are so many choices out there unless you are very determined and self-disciplined else you wont think that Kumon is the best anymore 02 07 2020 i understand that recording homeworks results is in order to let the instructors have an insights in order to provide worksheets accordingly I also agreed with the Kumon s repetition method is good for learning mathematics The thing i dont agree is the way Kumon UK s handling in this difficult COVID-19 situation Asking parents to do all the things without any fees adjustments So far i know that instructors need to employ same part-timers to do all these works but now no longer need to do because we as a parent have do it Anyway i just want to tell all the parents what they have to bear in mind if come to choose a right tuition or learning centre for their own child With the same amount of money probably you can have 2 sessions of private 1-to-1 tutoring which will benefit your kids more

In general my experience it is hard work you have to committed time effort It is boring but you will see result after long time It won t work short periods MATH subject is very good I give two rating the main reason I had good over one year experience in Woodley location because it was bit far I did transfer to Lower Earley location in Reading I cannot bear the poor service anymore I decided to cancel it and transfer to Woodley location again I pay 130 per month minimum 12 months but they don t provide any service We have to check home work daily that is OK But the problem poor service and poor communication One day my boy 6 year old was not good mood in class so he didn t do good work however when I picked him up the franchisee blame he was not good in class in front bof him other kids and parents I felt so embarrassed Also she accused me picking up kid late without any specific previous date and time told me it was not baby sitting How dear the way to tell me that I pay so much fee monthly there no no service for example one day my kid forgot bring water bottle he was very thirsty I ask just water they ask me to pay water if kids forget bring pencil you have to pay I cannot bear any more such bad experience in lower Earley location I decided transfer Woodley Dipali is much easier way to communicate

Found Kumon Battersea to be very repetitive and boring within weeks of the free trial child totally lost interest in maths as the tutor kept giving the same repeating worksheets despite feedback that they were too easy The tutor was also rude when I wanted to stop

Only gives questions with little teaching and no explaining When you ask why something is something or why something is not something they don t explain they just simply tell you to do it They expect you to do questions based of nothing but another completed question They use words that they do not explain and you are meant to complete all the questions by a strict deadline Leaves students little time during weekdays to do other things and can often cause the parents and the students to be very stressed Only good for the lower levels

The instructions since we move online hasn t been the best I m also sent work sheets on WhatsApp and asked to print them or have the child write the questions out While I agree it is good to write out questions it is a lot to pay to not have proper face to face instruction or good online provision and not even the physical worksheets Parents are also asked to correct record the work so are we only paying for worksheets Kumon is a wonderful math program and I ve seen better customer service and results from being at other centres - Wood Green Good if it was standardised

So Kumon is first of useless foe kids who start in the middle They make the kids start from scratch For example if some one is in yr4 they will assess and deliberately start at yr2 math So it is going backward for some There explanation is that they want to consolidate but I also think it is business tactic to keep going for months They believe in slogging and going on and on This is useful if ur child is really lagging behind But useless if u have been spending time without child and aware if their calibre but just looking for some material to support daily work The staff is extremely rude and dont listen to parents concern but are like flash robots who just follow graphs and not understand what parents are trying to say about child learning need I was very unhappy and wasted 200 pounds So be careful
