So guess I just want to enrich what he is learning at school. There are 22 kids in his class with one teacher. I think that is a concern. Jk is play based. They don't learn much of anything unfortunately just playing all day.
I am a teacher and actually used to work for Oxford and it was horrible. Rote memory and boring!!! Make learning fun or they might hate it if you start out with it be very boring. Why did you feel like kumon was a waste of money? I really hope JK is not just play they should learn something especially if they are there all day everyday!!!
My daughter did Kumon in grade 2. She did the reading program though and not the math so I can't really speak for that. She was a slow learner and had a tough time learning to read so we tried the Kumon program and it worked wonders for her reading skills. She improved two grades in the course of one year. Then they are given worksheets to work on at home every night, they usually take between minutes depending on whether it's new material or review work.
It is a lot of repetition but that is needed at that age. I would definitely recommend the Kumon program to anyone that needs their child to catch up or to enrich their schooling.

The post-COVID recovery period is likely to be a strong one for online tutoring, as people settle into new patterns of learning while trying to catch up on lessons missed during the chaos of the pandemic.
Low costs make it easy to enter this industry, and there is a steady supply of tutors. Kumon Math and Reading Centers focuses solely on the two primary academic subjects: math and reading. Each sheet has the information needed to solve the problems, so kids are essentially teaching themselves and reinforcing the lessons learned. Tutors simply check the work for accuracy. Founded by high school math teacher Toru Kumon in Moriguchi City, Osaka, Japan in and franchising since , there are now 26, Kumon Centers scattered all over the world up from the previously reported total of 26, , with 1, in the US and only 27 that are company-owned.
Subjects covered include math and English, where incremental learning and progress is encouraged. Besides basic knowledge in these subjects, additional goals include nurturing self-confidence, interest in learning, and developing analytical skills. Founded in in Korea and franchising since then, the number of locations has expanded in recent years from in to the current total of 1, up from the previously reported total of 1, , of which are company-owned and are located outside the US.
Mathnasium Learning Centers focuses on only one subject: mathematics. Students begin with an initial assessment in order to accurately identify their learning needs. Additional assessments at key intervals help make sure the material learned is retained. The methods are based on those developed by math educator Larry Martinek more than 40 years ago that were so successful they were adopted by many schools and student test scores skyrocketed.
Founded by Peter Markovitz and David Ullendorff in Westwood, California in and franchising since , the number of locations has expanded steadily in recent years from in to the current total of 1, up from the previously reported total of 1, , of which six are company-owned and of which are located outside the US.
Tutor Doctor sends its tutors into the homes of students of all grade levels to help them advance in any and all academic subjects. The initial assessment and consultation is conducted free of charge and is also used to match the student up to the right tutor. Founded in Ontario, Canada in and franchising since , the number of locations has increased rapidly in recent years from locations in to the current total of up from the previously reported total of , of which none are company-owned and of which are located outside the US.
Sylvan Learning might be best known for its SAT and ACT test-prep services, but the chain also provides a variety of other college and career prep tutoring in advanced levels of various subjects, and K tutoring in all the basic subjects reading, math, writing, algebra, geometry, homework help, study skills, and more.
It also has a new focus on STEM science, technology, engineering, and math subjects including coding and robotics. Founded in Portland, Oregon now based in Baltimore, Maryland in and franchising since , the number of locations has steadily declined in recent years from in to the current total of down from the previously reported total of , of which seven are company-owned and 88 are located outside the US.
JEI Learning Centers believes every student has infinite potential. Subject focuses include math, English, reading, and writing. Club Z! In-Home Tutoring Services started out as an in-home tutoring service, but has since added online tutoring to its mix of services. This approach gets impressive results. Students improve, on average, by two letter-grades in a surprisingly short amount of time a couple months.
Founded in Tampa, Florida in and franchising since , the number of locations has declined slightly in recent years from a high of in to the current total of down from the previously reported total of , of which none are company owned and 17 are located outside the US. Huntington Learning Centers take a comprehensive approach to evaluating where each student is at academically so they can tailor learning plans to meet learning needs.
The program was good for him initially but in just less than a year, it became too difficult for him to continue. At the center there are inexperienced teaching staff. When the child is struggling with understanding concepts this is not explained to them. The solution offered by the staff is to get the student to repeat the same material over and over again without understanding the concepts taught.
The Kumon solution is simply, to repeat the material multiple times. The child hates doing the same material over and over again. The staff will also make a student repeat the material if they take more than the allocated time to complete each book. My child took much longer to do the material than the allocated time, as he hated doing the work and spent most of the time complaining about having to do the material.
He is also a very slow writer. Kumon does not take any of these factors into account. It assumes that if a child takes longer than what they determine is acceptable then, the child needs to repeat the material. When the child repeats the material, they remember the answers not how to determine the answers. The early levels 7A to 2A inclusive tests did not assess his spelling of basic words.
They started testing spelling at A1 level. I noticed that even though my child moved on to higher level, he still did not know how to spell basic words. Kumon assumes that the child will learn how to spell basic words in earlier levels which is wrong. At A1 level and beyond, the child is expected to learn how to spell about words which is excessive in addition to the concepts taught at each level.
In the material there are no strategies explaining to the child how to answer comprehension questions. The Kumon material also does not explain concepts well or often, provides no explanation at all.
Kumon books which can be purchased from retailers explains concepts far better than the course material. In some levels there is too much for the child to learn in one level. If the child fails, they are given the same test to do. The child passes the second time, simply because they know the answers to the test not because they have learnt the concepts in the level tested. But Kumon does this to make parents believe the program is working for their child. Significant improvements need to be made to the Kumon material and the method of teaching.
My recommendation is if you want to try the program, try it for no more than 8 months and then switch to another course or use the Kumon books instead, which can be purchased online. I have a PhD in Statistics and I am a mother. We immediately started Kumon and public school, and by the end of 3rd grade in public school she was one of the top math students. Just like exercise, the more you do, the stronger you get. Her public school does common core, while Kumon does traditional mathematics.
Her Kumon has helped her with common core, even though the approach is completely different. When I tutored math, I noticed that many of my students struggling with higher math including in high school lacked basic numeracy. Kumon sucks. Loathed it, even. I used to cry and sob every time i had to do long division. I hated it, but i knew it would help. Firstly, the time matters. Most parents who have had children attending Kumon had their children enrolled for anywhere from anywhere from a few months to about 2 years.
In elementary school, I always had phenomenal grades because i had already learned most of the material from Kumon. What we were learning in school was basically a review. Kumon helps so much, with all levels of math. Just last week, in my current math class geometry , we were factoring to solve a problem that involved algebra, and my friend was having trouble factoring a polynomial where a was not equal to 1.
I taught him the cross method a relatively simple method taught in Kumon to factor and he understood immediately!
