Discrimination from the Kumon instructor
Hi I was looking at Kumaon for math for my daughter. I booked yesterday the free trial in Reading Whitley for 30May 2022. Then I received the call from the instructor Shaofeng Liu. She asked my daughter age and which year she is in, then she said you sound like Indian you should go to another branch instead of mine because I have mostly Chinese student. I felt really awful. They displayed discriminatory behavior. No education center ask or give you the place on the bases of country or religion. Really shameful.

Discrimination
Peter Tu at the regional office is a terror. So sexist and racist. Hes a liability to the company. When will HR and Legal step in and fire him for the unethical and illegal ways he treats his staff and instructors? Its been going on for two decades. They just keep moving him around like the catholic church does for its pederast priests.

Kumon does not teach math. Waste of money and time and unnecessary Stress on your kids
Oh man don't know where to start from, but will try to make it short. Kumon is just giving your kids the assignment over and over for weeks until your kid is really disgusted of basic Math. Also, topics will be 2-3 grades below your kids school grade. Waste of time and money. Not sure why they even have centers you need to go twice a week for 30 mins each time. Why would you even do that to do 1 + 1 , 3 + 1 , 7 + 3 questions forever. I think having centers is just to justify the monthly charges. Otherwise, your kids can do the same math at home for free. They are not teaching anything. They just hand out papers and collect to not look at them. They keep giving you the same papers. What a joke. I feel sorry for the kids.

Its just *** on earth
So, I went there when I was younger. All you do is just sit in a *** little room doing little booklets and then grab 10 to take home as homework. It didn't do *** I excelled at math in school and got average marks for English, so I really didn't need it, but I'm Chinese and I needed to "get better at math." it's not worth it, even if you are desperate.

Kumon doesn’t care about anything
Original review Jan 16, 2022
At my location, the employees and managers don't care about bad things people do. First of all, someone actually said the F word. Some other people search the math answers up and cheat their way out of phones owned by them. They say 0% distractions when they have, like, 100000. Lastly, most of the workers are racist and mean. Since Im black, they dont say it out loud, but they probably hate me. Something else is there are 100**** bullies. Kumon is sus. Their little faces:.

Unreasonable Account Disabling
My account was disable at no reason, we do not find any reasonable deletion as we do not upload any spam message or content, any unethical content, and etc. Why the account of Kumon Kaliwaron just got disabled? Even we tried to make a new Kumon Kaliwaron account, but IT GOT DISABLED RIGHT AFTER WE CREATED IT. Could you please explain?

Kumon gets a bad review from me which is a negative review
I went to the Kumon on Spring Cypress, and signed up there to help me get prepared to take a math placement test in college. I paid in advance to make sure that I was always able to pay them since I did not have a full-time job, but only worked 6 hours a week one day a week. Uppel lied to me and told me she called corporate to find out how much she owed me when corporate does not receive our money. She only does for the teachers. Then she lied to me about her customers were not paying her. If they were not, that is not my fault that is her fault for not kicking them out until they paid. But, I think they did pay her and she is just lying to me about it. Then she lied to me about getting me the refund back which I still have not received. Do not trust Uppel she is a liar and a thief. Because of her, I can never trust her or Kumon again. She made them look really bad and un-trust worthy. I worked hard to make the money I did, and to go to school, and she abused that trust.

Kumon gets no stars from me
I was going to Kumon to strengthen my math to prep for a math placement test in college. Each Kumon is individually owned, and does not receive our payment. Only the teachers do. I paid in advance , so that; I would have enough money for them to help me get through this math placement. Uppel decides to shut the facility down, and she told me corporate would not tell her how much she owed me when they do not receive a dime of our money. She lied to me about that. Then she lied to me about her customers were not paying her. She took advantage of me going to school and only working 1 day a week for 6 hours. She and Kumon will never be trusted by me again. She is a liar and a thief don't ever higher her anywhere you won't see your money again.

Rude place
The teacher Mrs archer is just taking your money and is making the poor kids forced to do the work just so they get the money a I think they are nicer to the Indians that come there and it is just 10$ for a useless pouch that ain't that nice

Transfer paper documents
I have requested the transfer documents for the centre where my son has been enrolled and the request havent been resolved by the instructor. Right now my son is not able to continue the Kumon program because we dont have these documents.

Bad service.
My sister and I went to Kumon when we were younger, the people there did not even help us, they just gave us work and left us alone. Many kids around us were crying, which made it even harder to work. Me, as I was leaving middle school, got recommended addition for work, even though I already knew it, and so forth. I do not recommend it.

Joe Nativo - Immoral and Criminal?
Joe Nativo was named a chief officer despite getting a subordinate staff pregnant and getting the company lawyer to intimidate her into shutting up. He has groped and propositioned countless staff and instructors at conferences and events because he drinks too much. This all happened when he was married. He was also demoted a few years ago for misappropriating company funds including spending money earned from student royalties on *** When will president Mino Tanabe practice the values he spouts and fire that disgusting and dangerous man child?

Sharing my experience with Kumon
This is my personal opinion and review about the Kumon Program. Though my son has attended Kumon program for more than 6 years and completed as well but overall I did not like the program. It's more on repetitions and does not focus on clearing the concepts due to which kids normally are not equipped with basic knowledge. Even for practice, the online learning sites are much more beneficial. My daughter also joined this program and was doing well but during Covid time due to unavailability of in-person classes, she was struggling to keep up with it (mostly i think its because they don't emphasize on concepts) and were having issues completing her assignments. They have a kumon plus program for accumulating points for being enrolled in the program and it takes years to have some significant points and that too they have a very rigid and unfair policy and doesn't even consider the circumstances and nullify all the previously accumulated points if you discontinue for any reason. Overall, I wouldn't recommend anyone to enroll to this program and rather look for alternative ways to practice math problems.

Beware, stay away from Kumon Learning center
In March 2013. I took my 3rd grade elementary school son to the Kumon learning center at Hamilton West End, in Hamilton, ON to bring him up to grade level in reading and math. First we were made to wait for about 40 minutes for the Kumon director Nicole Smith who never showed up. The Kumon learning staff gave my son a test in Math and English. We were told that the test was to check for gaps in learning. After the test my son was placed in a Kumon math and reading level that I feel was equivalent to Pre-Kindergarten. The Kumon director still no where to be found after over an hour and a half at the Kumon learning center. 2 weeks into the Kumon program I expressed concerns to the Kumon learning director Nicole Smith that I did not see any improvement. She was arrogant and defensive. She told me to give it more time. My son was made to repeat the same Kumon worksheets again and again like we were ***. By the time I gave it more time my son's report card came and it was worse than before. I immediately called Kumon to cancel. Again, the Kumon center director Nicole Smith was not available and we were told she was traveling. The staff told me I had to give a month's notice. After a couple of conversations they "allowed" us to cancel. Don't get sucked into the false success of Kumon learning. Being located in Hamilton, Ontario doesn't mean we should be treated badly. I spent my hard earned salary for my own son in Kumon with no success!! I should be given a full refund based on their deceptive business practices and loop holed printed materials served to us at enrollment. Don't go to Kumon Math & Reading it is a trap and they will make you feel like less of a parent by testing and placing your child many levels below in the Kumon program that has no proof of success in Math or for anyone that English is their first language.
