Message from Kumon
Kumon was started 50 years ago in Japan by Toru Kumon, a teacher and parent who wanted to help his son do better in school. The unique instructional method he created was so successful that his son was able to do calculus by the time he was in the sixth grade. Kumon reading and math programs help children master those fundamental skills so important to their overall academic performance. Our founder's belief that every child possesses untapped abilities and the potential to excel remains central to our philosophy. In short, there is nothing a child can't do. The Kumon Method was developed to unlock the potential in every child. That's our mission, and we are accomplishing it every day at more than 1,500 Kumon Centers in North America alone.
Reviews for Kumon
After learning about Kumon through an acquaintance, I decided I'd take a leap of faith and sign my daughter up for the program. It is home-based as opposed to a *tutoring* program like Sylvan, but the cost is far more reasonable. The owner/instructor seems very genuine in her commitment to helping children find success. Hopefully this will become evident with my child.
