Kumon Math and Reading Center of Tucson - Catalina Foothills

Nov 20th, 2021

Staff is a wonderful and supportive team. Rose is a kind-hearted and dedicated professional that truly cares. If you have any problems, concerns, or special needs for your little one she will go above and beyond to find the best learning solution possible. Independence and self-reliance are extremely valuable skills for children to learn and Rose gives you the tools and the plan to make it a reality if you follow her weekly personalized learning plans. I highly recommend.

We have been sending our kids here ages 8 and 10 for the last 6 months. At first we did just math and within months noticed a huge improvement in school. Now we do both math and reading. The kids are above grade level and we couldn't be more thrilled about the service. The lead instructor is a wonderful person that really cares about our kids.

We were excited to tour this facility with our two daughters, who attend a wonderful private school here in Tucson. Our oldest is in 4th grade and is excelling in all of her subjects, and was looking for an additional challenge, as much of her classwork is too easy for her. In her placement test, she received an 97% (math) and 96% (reading). These scores, according to Kumon, placed her in 1st grade math and kindergarten reading. This kid is currently doing 5th grade math with ease (fractions, dividing, multiplication, square roots) and they wanted to put her in basic addition. She is currently reading, "The Diary of Anne Frank" and they wanted her doing worksheets of 3-5 letter words. Our youngest daughter is in kindergarten, and we were looking for some reading help for her since she was in Spanish immersion for preschool. I could hear the lead instructor, Rose, putting her down as she took the placement exam. "You don't know this. See, this is why you need to come here."Instead of making our children empowered and excited to learn, we left with both of them feeling discouraged, defeated, and like they're not as smart as they "should be." The business model is that they place your children levels below their current school level, which makes you feel like you need to start right away for them to "catch up." At this rate, we would have paid an additional $2280 in WORKSHEETS for 6 months for them to finally receive the same level work they're currently completing in school. It felt like a scam to me, but even worse, I feel horrible that I put them in this position. I'll be exploring private tour options that will make our children excited to learn and boost their confidence along the way.

This place is a scam !!!!!!! Charged $330 for both reading and math. My child is a 2nd grader, gave him mazes and  preschool material to complete in fifteen min, maximum. I was told by Rose sessions run 30 minutes which was a lie. No reading ! No math ! All preschool material and has my child do the  same counting 1-20 for an entire month!!!! My child was able to count to 100 prior to coming here. Such a blow of money. Rose Thomas is a fraud and has no business skills.  This lady is  highly  unethical and deceitful and charges for a month and doesn't want to render  a month of service. She Tried to discontinue his month,  even though it was already paid up front. Poorly non certified and undertrained youngsters work with your child and just "sit" to watch them do generic preschooler packets. Use reading therapy over off country club if you care for your child's reading skills. This owner tells me I paid for my child to focus, upon asking her the question, where is the Reading I was charged for ??? Where is the reading material and why isn't my child doing any reading here ?! No reading material , but charged me for the service !!!! This constitutes fraud!!!!!! Beware !!! Beware! I can't overemphasize this. As a former educator, this is highly insulting collecting money and promising you subjects, and choosing the easy way out by ignoring your child and handing generic preschooler worksheets that  are far below the child's grade and skill set . They do not invest 15 into your child , but instead pass time having a child complete mazes instead to pass time !!!! Report to BBB ! I told the director , Rose, my child completes these packets in four minutes as they are far below his grade level , she didn't care and had him instead do mazes ! Can you believe this ??? This is fraud. Why pay for mazes and preschool material you can pick up from books from Dollar Tree?  Zero added benefit, and an unethical director, Rose Thomas,  who is more interested in profit , over your child's welfare with learning. Highly unethical and a disgrace for the community! Buyers beware, they censor Google reviews and also I overheard another parent express that they aren't investing one minute into reading material with her 8 year old. Place is a fraud !!!!!! Zero stars !!! Save your money and go to reading therapy sessions over at Mariposa. They are professional Reading therapists, unlike this place, zero certifications and 0 degree in education.
