Kumon Math and Reading Center of Evergreen

First, the place is pretty organized. But I think there are too many kids. Teachers don’t seem to care and it seems like they want to keep you on the same level for too long. They will never admit to it but I would suggest checking out why your kid is not progressing that fast. The price is way too much for what you get. It’s very time consuming to attend and the homework is repetitive. The owner is present quite often but there is little interaction.

As much as I complained so much about this Kumon Center, it was worth it. I attended this Kumon Center since 3^rd grade to 7^th grade, with all the hard work and dedication into it, it mostly paid off. The program is based on a whole week’s of worksheets, rules, methods, and repetition. But there is a average completion time before proceeding to the next concept of materials. People who actually want to leanr and take their patience in this Kumon learning process is a guarantee successful student in the future.
Of course, the tuition in applying for this Learning Center is very pricy, $ 110 per subject per student every once a month. Parents have to release up to $ 2000+ a year.
In my personal thoughts, Kumon has shaped me to become successful in my middle school years academically, and my freshmen year so far.
The main person who took over is called Mrs.Guy. Funny because she’s a woman but her name is Mrs.Guy. Sorry bad joke. Haha, but anyway I docked off a star for her way of running the tutoring center. Her son is very rude, mean and disses a lot of the kids around the place. Oh, the corruption that had made this Learning Center a wreck.
I decided that I would leave and not come back due to the corruption of Mrs. Guy and her son’s way of running things. But now I come to think that Kumon made my life so much better and successful.

I went to this Kumon center since I was in 1^st grade and I worked here for 3 years. That equals to 12 years of hard work and dedication I’ve put into this place.
The program is based on repetition and discipline. Worksheets are given on a daily basis and must be completed within a standard completion time before moving on to the next material. Those who take the time to dedicate time to this program come out successful. Those who complain about how this program doesn’t work or quit do so because they don’t follow the program correctly. I worked front desk for 3 years I would know first hand why people succeed and why they fail.
However, it is definitely pricey, $ 110 per subject per student for 1 month. There are some parents dishing out over $ 600 every month.
To contrast Mira’s review, honestly, if it wasn’t for Kumon, I wouldn’t be where I am today. Kumon has literally CHANGED MY LIFE. As long as you follow how the program was meant to be and you put time and effort into it, it is highly effective. I was doing advanced algebra by fifth grade and pre-​calculus when I barely started high school.
I know students there that are only in 4^th grade yet they are doing Calculus B/​C and Statistics! No average parent could EVER do that.
The original instructor, Nancy Nelson, is the nicest woman in the WORLD. She will never blame you for anything and always provided cookies, candies, and other snacks every work day.
However, Nancy retired and Mrs. Guy took over. This is where I docked off the star. She is impatient, very assumptive, always blaming me for everything that went wrong, never gave efficient pay and actually blatantly showed favoritism! Her son is a demon of a person and I hope I never have to deal with his sick and disgusting personality again.
Besides that, I’ve made lifelong friends, completed all math classes before my entire senior class, aced my ap test with ease, and am planing on majoring in math, all thanks to Kumon.
Also, the kids here are absolutely adorable. Working as the receptionist, I was able to learn the names and talk to each and every kid. all 550+ of them. Always treat the receptionist with respect! Because with hundreds of kids and parents coming in and out, you will get treated back they way you treat the workers.
My two sisters and I all attended this place and math is our forte.
I have a friend I met in Kumon years ago. He made it into Harvard and Stanford.
Just in case Nancy ever reads this, thank you for everything you’ve done and helping me get into a good college. :]
