The place is challenging according to accuracy and times. We need challenges for our kids to pursuit to the next level. It can not be expressed in words. It is a wonderful place for all kids. Thank You :).

The owner is very crass and condescending.This place does not teach your kids anything.They throw your kids in a room full kids with kid supervision.A MONEY SCAM!This place should be shut down with kids running up and down the side walk and parking lot unsupervised surprised a kid has not been hit by a car there.

I started taking my 5th grade son to Kumon because he was not being challenged during math class at school. He scored very well on the initial assessment test but, nevertheless, it was recommended that he start working with packets that were below 5th grade level. I admit I was taken aback but, because of Kumon's strong reputation, I decided to go forward with the program. One year later, I am thrilled with my son's progress. He moved through the initial levels quickly. I now realize that having him go back over skills he had already learned increased his speed tremendously and it increased his ability to solve problems in his head. He is now working far above grade level.

I cannot say enough good things about Kumon and Mr. Alex. He runs a wonderful program that has helped my children immensely. I had originally signed my 7 year old son up only for the Kumon math program so he could work ahead of what he was learning in school. Two years later, he is doing both Kumon math and reading, and his twin sister is doing both math and reading too. I am sure that working with Mr. Alex and Kumon helped push them into the gifted program at school. Also, the hours for this center are excellent, and they are very accommodating if you go on vacation to make sure that you can bring your worksheets along. We love Kumon!

In an effort to complement my oldest daughter’s schoolwork, I enrolled her in Kumon at the age of 7. She remained enrolled in Kumon throughout elementary school. Within just a short period of time, I noticed remarkable improvement in my daughter’s math skills and confidence in her overall work performance. For me, having the ability to monitor my daughter’s progress in learning various math concepts and being able to discuss my daughter’s growth and development with the learning center’s director were priceless. Kumon provided her the challenge and independence she needed to exceed expectations. Now, my youngest daughter is enrolled in Kumon. She absolutely loves the program and is highly motivated by the repetition and pace of the program. The program has already enhanced her math skills.

My son has been with the Kumon program since he was in Kindergarten and he is now in 7th grade. Kumon has helped him enormously in his math and reading skills. Both speed AND accuracy are emphasized in Kumon. The instructor and staff are extremely helpful. Mr. Vuong does expect great things from his students and they rise to his challenge.

Mr. Alex

My daughter was not doing very well in Math and she loves to read, when she took the test he said that Ema needed more skill in math and even though she was always reading needed more comprehension in grammar. I didn't take it as a criticism in the contrary I was glad that he could see what my child needed. My daughter is doing great, loves math and her book report are wonderful.Mr. Alex and his staff are great and I am so grateful that all the time that Ema was having difficulties with homework he is always available to help her and also available to our last minutes request for homework. I can just say wonderful things about this facility.

Thanks, Cristina

2nd time I met the owner. Looked tired and annoyed the first time. So I acted the same the second time and showed I wasn't impressed by his crazy claims. I'm going to try another Kumon and see if the other center directors act like they deserve a medal like this guy did. So anyways, My son tested. He got 2nd grade level (he's going into 4th grade). Didn't matter to me if he scored at Kindergarten level, I knew it was BS because he looked at my son's score for 2 seconds and said he starts at 2A...whatever that meant. Didn't explain so I'm guessing its 2nd grade. Some kids came during our interview showing their progress report; he looked at it the front cover of a 5 page worksheet and hand it back to each student saying "Good job" in a lifeless sort of way. Seriously, check it out...not the service or what Kumon has to offer, but how this guy operates. It's kind of funny.

I took my son in for an assessment. The owner did not say hello and asked "why are you here?". He administered an assessment test for my son on which my son had 2 wrong answers out of 50 on the math. After the assessment, he walked in and he was surprised that he didn't do better!!! How much better could he do? He said this in front of my son who is excellent in math and was hurt by his comment. He then recommended he be placed at the first grade level (my son is in 4th grade). My son knew all of his multiplication table by 1st grade. I asked him why when he had an almost perfect score on the 4th grade test he gave him. The guy was rude. He would not explain. I think he realized my son was at a higher level and may not benefit from the program. Instead of being honest, he was so rude and dismissive. He can not have a background in education....He lacks all interpersonal skill.
