Kumon Math and Reading Center of Gramercy Park

This is absolutely not worth the time and money.

My daughter went to Kumon for 2 years. She went up 2 grade levels in Math in 1 year. 2 to 3 grade levels in reading in 1 year. They offer a supportive environment. Parents from all schools public and private send their children there. Jamal and his staff are excellent and professional. Why Kumon? Simple it works, one parent even sent their son there to advance in math. Give your child an early start or help them get head. Do not do what I did and wait until your child is too far behind, then play the catch up game. Send them now. It is worth it. You will be happy you did. Everyone I know was sending their kids to Kumon because the math they teach in school sucks. If you want your child to learn properly send them there. I also like that they reward the students with end of the year ceremony and incentives of little gifts. Stickers for younger students and prizes they can order. I just ordered my daughter a guitar.

I’ve taken my kids to this center, but have since left. They’ve done very well in their math classes at school because of it, but their test-​prep teaching is something to be desired. My oldest was really unprepared for the SAT from Kumon. Luckily she prepared elsewhere. The center is kind of smelly and they don’t turn on the air-​conditioning during the summer.
