Kumon Math and Reading Center of San Francisco – Richmond East

My kids do the Math subject here.
The whole point of doing Kumon is to get your child ahead of the class in Math. I don’t see that happening with my kids so far.
My 1^st grader has simple addition & subtraction. My 4^th grader is doing well in long multiplication, however as of today -/​I don’t believe they are mastering mathematics which are higher level than what is being taught in school.
We have been doing kumon for 1 year at this location. We did it for 1 year at another location prior to coming here.
Overall it is going well, but I wish my kids would do a minimum of 30 minutes of kumon a day, but they finish their packets quickly and it doesn’t add up to 30 minutes a day. I wish they would give my kids more packets. 30 minutes a day is not too much.

My daughter goes to Kumon because she wasn’t feeling challenged in her current school. The teacher at her school said that she’d have to stay in the same level because of the change in curriculum due to the «common core» standards.
So my daughter gave Kumon — Richmond East a try and she loves it! I am happy too because the staff is so nice, friendly and accommodating. Sheila and her staff are transparent about how they run the center. When we don’t have time to go to Kumon (my daughter does a lot of after school activities), the staff is completely flexible and makes sure she’s on track.

Both of my kids (8 yrs & 10 yrs) have been going to this location for a few months. This place is new, quiet, and provides a great learning enviroment. Last week, my daughter mentioned to me that Kumon improved her math skills because when her teacher asked the class about a math problem, she was the first to call out an answer (uncommon). The tutors are knowledgeable and the owner of the place really cares how the kids are progressing. I should have started them with Kumon earlier.

We are very happy with Kumon, and this location in particular. We started Kumon because we are trying to prepare our five year old son for Kindergarten, and he is currently in a play-​based preschool. Kumon has worked out great for our goals, and we will continue with the program.
Sheila, the owner and main instructor, is great with young kids and very patient. Our son loves going to Kumon and seeing Sheila. Regarding the location, we are very happy that we chose this location. It is brand new, and bright and clean inside. There were some other locations that were closer to our house, but we felt much more comfortable at this Inner Richmond location. It is less hectic than other locations, especially after school hours, and there always seems to be parking available. Overall, I highly recommend this Kumon location and instructor Sheila.

This is a great Kumon location. It is brand new, very nicely furnished, clean and comfortable. Most importantly, my 5^th grade daughter adores Sheila (the owner) and her family, who are friendly and helpful, and genuinely care about her progress in math. My daughter always looks forward to going, and wants to do a good job on her daily worksheets for this reason. So far, I’m very happy we chose this Kumon!
