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
If you work hard and stick with the exercises and homework you are assigned you will get a lot out of what they have to offer. It can be somewhat expensive but it is well worth the money if you are hard working!

We had our daughter here for several months and there was a slight improvment. I can see where this works if you are there long enough but for the money you can do it on your own at home...
The manager is friendly enough but I sometimes felt "below" her because I felt she talked to me as if I was one of the kids that needed help.
The facility itself is tucked away in the back of the shopping center and hard to find unless you know where it is. You then end up parking in a back alley that is dark and not well lit for those that need to attend at night - In fact, my car was broken into while I was only several feet away and that is when I pulled my child out because I was not going back over there!
