My daughter has been in Kumon for two years (since 1st grade) and it has been amazing for her. We started because the method of teaching reading that her otherwise excellent school was using just wasnt working for her. She was getting frustrated and was saying she didnt like reading.
A co-worker of mine said her daughter went to the Southeast Kumon, so even though we live on the other side of town, I called and explained what was going on to Ms. Anita. She was wonderful, she got us all set up quickly and within a few months my daughter was reading! Now she reads chapter books for fun, including some that are a grade level ahead. The Kumon reading instruction method plus Ms. Anitas and teachers guidance was what made reading click for my daughter.
In addition, during this past year of online school because of the pandemic, Kumon was a lifesaver. As a university professor who taught all of my classes online in the 2020-2021 school year, I know all teachers did our best with virtual learning; but for some subjects, online just wasnt effective. Im so thankful that my daughter had Kumon because that 30-45 mins twice a week allowed her to continue improving her reading despite the unprecedented circumstances we were all in.
I highly recommend the Ms. Anitas Southeast Huntsville Kumon Math & Reading Center to any parent who wants to help their child learn to read as well as help them develop confidence in and a love for reading.

I was a student at KUMON for 4 years, and in my time there, I advanced far ahead of my grade level and gained an advantage in my education. As a senior in high school about to graduate, I can verify that doing KUMON made my academic career so much easier. I havent had to worry about struggling in any math class, even my BC Calculus class, and I have more time allotted to work in other classes and pursue other interests.
It is easy to see that some of the negative reviews for KUMON are from kids who dont understand the purpose of KUMON. KUMON is not established to magically give knowledge to students or to push students through an easy program for an empty sense of accomplishment. It is designed to provide the resources and teaching necessary for productive learning and successful retaining of knowledge. Ultimately, this requires both work from the teacher and the student. Ms. Anita, the instructor, truly has the students education in mind. She does a great job of organizing all of her students and working with them while also pushing them to maximize their full potential. This evidently means that students who dont want to learn will assume she is being harsh or unreasonable. In the end, all anyone can do is encourage learning and work ethic; it is still the desire of the student to learn that ensures success, not any other factor.
I began to work at KUMON last year, and I realize that from the years of learning there, I have even gained the necessary knowledge to teach others in math and reading on a fundamental level. I find that I am still learning new things as a tutor.
I would say that KUMON is one of the few learning institutions that stays true to traditional values of learning while allowing students to get ahead of their level. As a former student, I can understand why negative reviews by other students have been written. At times, KUMON was extremely frustrating and I did not enjoy it; this is part of the process, there wouldve been something wrong if I wasnt challenged to expand my knowledge.
I recommend KUMON to any students looking to get ahead or to any parents wanting to invest in their childs education.

I put my kids in THIS SPECIFIC kumon. Everyday, my kids would come out and say Ms. Anita never teaches us ANYTHING. She always tells them to go to the grading table. It was annoying how I got to grade the work they had to do because my back injury , and they get everything wrong they don’t talk they just give stacks of work sorry Anita but it’s stressful.
