Kumon Math and Reading Center of Plymouth

The franchise owner, Pramod, is dedicated to helping children learn math and English. We had a sad situation in our family. Our oldest turned out to be a math genius which lulled us into believing that the other three would do fine in math in school. I learned otherwise with our second child who was tested at Kumon when he was in pre-​calculus in 10^th grade and could not get the correct answer to 16 of 20 fraction problems (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division). Yes, I forced him to do Kumon. He worked an hour a day for 8 months and made up for 10 years of sliding through math classes, doing pattern matching. When he took the ACT, his pre-​algebra math was tested at 99%. His two younger sisters were also in math at Kumon and now excel in math. Sadly, the high school continues to do a deplorable job of teaching math which is why Kumon is necessary. A daughter is now in pre-​calc and told me that the teacher wrote: ½ +1/​3 on the board and asked the 30 students how many could calculate the correct answer in their head. Only 6 students raised their hands.
I am writing why you would take your children to Kumon because I was aware of the program for two years before I put my kids in it. I could not believe it was necessary to have daily drilling. Now my son in particular thanks me for forcing him through Kumon, and my two younger daughters tell me how fun it is fly through math worksheets in school when everyone else is struggling to remember basics like long division.
I really respect Pramod who is almost always at the Kumon Center when it is open. He takes personal interest in each child and works to help them advance. I consider having my kids in Kumon as one of the best decisions we have made in parenting.
