A Review of Kumon Math & Reading Centers

About.com Rating threehalf out of Five

By Don Daszkowski, About.com

Kumon functions as an after-school program where students from preschool to high school receive a one-on-one instructional program to develop the skills needed to perform at their required level – and beyond. Unlike other “learning centers” Kumon uses an original approach that allows children to teach themselves the skills and study habits required for their day-to-day school curriculums. Tuition fees at Kumon range from $80 to $110 per subject per month.
