does anyone know how much it cost to send a child to kumon learning centers?
Q. i checked their website and the only amount that I see is that some centers may charge a $30 to $50 registration fee. Is there a monthly fee as well?
Asked by Babe - Tue May 26 01:05:49 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Everyone who have answered so far are wrong. The prices differ from center to center, but they are usually in the $100.00 to $120.00 range per subject. There is a registration fee and some centers may even ask you to put down a deposit for the last month's tution. However, the inital testing is free and you have no obligation to sign up after your child(ren) take the test(s). It really depends on the center since some centers do offer the ability to pay for six months and even a year. They may even offer a discount if you do this. Otherwise, you are charged monthly.

Asked by Bfract - Sat May 2 19:37:51 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Usually the only way to become an instructor is to buy into the franchise. You still have to go through all of the training and everything. However, there may be some cases in which you can take over a center. But I am sure that you would have to be able to show them that you have the financial background. Kumon does hire people to work for their company, but you would not be in a center.

What is your opinion of Kumon Learning?
Q. I have recently started working as an assistant at a Kumon learning center and I am wondering if it is worth the parents' expense. At first look, it seems good--children learning independently at their own pace. But then, on second look, it appears to me that parents are paying for "busywork" in the form of worksheets without any preliminary or supporting instruction. Based on my observaion, the premise is that children will learn on their own: works in theory, but not necessarily in fact. I'll make no more comments until I see some feedback.

A. I'm also an assistant at Kumon, and as someone who's formerly done Kumon as a kid, I can say that it's worked pretty darn well. Math abides by set rules, and repetitive practice of these rules will result in a pretty math proficient kid. Especially at a young age, constant repetition will ensure success in math at older ages as well. Well it did for me, and many of my friends xD Of course, the student must actually sit down, read the examples, understand them, and apply them. A lot of times, since it's independent learning, kids will cut corners and avoid work a lot, resulting in learning nothing. On the other hand, Kumon English was largely useless for me. Being able to write well is presumably the goal of Kumon Language, but repetition… [cont.]

A. Kumon is just worksheets...and worksheets and worksheets. Every level is 200 sheets/pages. The head instructor makes you repeat them over and over again if you don't do them in 15 min or less for 4 pages. Even if you do them in less than 15min you still will do the same worksheet at least 3 times. Its the Asian way of teaching things. You keep doing it over and over again until you get it right.

If you need help with what you are currently learning, I suggest you to quit Kumon and join a different tutoring center. They are going to continue to teach you the basics until you can do them fast.

A. All Sylvan Academic Reading instructors (2nd - 12th grade reading program) MUST be certified teachers in their specific state. You could certainly work at Sylvan as another instructor. I would suggest Homework Support, Study Skills, Advanced Reading (Speed Reading) or even their SAT program. If you are proficient in math, you could also do instruction in math as well, especially with elementary level. If you are as qualified as it sounds you are, you would be a great asset to a center. However, in keeping up with the promises Sylvan makes to parents, you would not (or aren't supposed to be) allowed to teach reading without a teaching certificate. Hope this helps! I would definitely call your local center and inquire.
