Kumon Math and Reading Center of West Los Angeles

First, I’m surprised this place has only one review. It’s always p-​a-​c-​k-​e-​d!
I was very skeptical at first, but after their free assessment, I realized that these people know their stuff. Mariko saw my son for about twenty minutes and she gave me more and better feedback than I’ve ever received about him. She also convinced me that their methodology is working.
My son is in Kindergarten and when he joined Kumon he couldn’t read. I know that this is ok for a kindergartener but he’s the oldest kid in the class and I noticed that some of the younger kids were ahead. I sat down with him many times with a book I found online but it didn’t seem to work for him. I felt I didn’t know what I was doing and he was really not engaged. I gave up. Now, four months after enrolling him at Kumon my son is an advanced reader. He has further developed his self confidence and even more importantly, he is now used to working every single day. This work ethic is IMO very important for his future and it’s worth building it early on. Following his success with reading, we signed him up for Math.
In my experience, success with Kumon takes some commitment but they provide all the tools and support to make it work. I believe it’s worth the money and the effort.

Took my brother here for an assesment. They have really friendly staff and their tutoring program is a lot cheaper than Sylvans. (Although, my 8 year old brother said he liked the Sylvans assessment better). There seemed to be a lot of kids here and the layout is nice.
Conveniently located across from starbucks, marshalls, and some nice eateries.
