Just out of curiosity, how many people here did Kumon in their younger to highschool years?

Was Kumon helpful?

I know a friend who went to it, he quit afterwards....he said that all they do there is make u work-hard. so u can do that at home and save money as well.

i did it for maths in primary school. it was alright cos it showed that i couldnt even do subtraction properly although my mum had to explain how to do it because they dont really teach you- they just give you sheets of work to do. i guess it was good because maths is all about practice and i could do with it now. i stopped because i just wasnt motivated enough and i couldnt see the point.

umm what is it

 

[hatty]

i did it
i didn't really like it
all they do is pretty much throw u questions from some textbook
and ur sitting there in a crowded room full of fuckheads

why not invest in that textbook and do it @ home?

yep, thats what i meant, kumon don't teach u much- they just try to make u work!! its prolly good for ppl. who got a lotta dough, and can't discipline themselves properly.

Hey Isaac, I know like three people who tutor (or mark) at Kumon... they say it doesn't help the kids much because its just repetition.

I did kumon from when i was 3 yrs old to like 11 and i found it really good in basic skills...like algebra and stuff. and it really helped me get into the routine of doing hw and stuff...but if ur in high school i would reckon tutoring with the actual material ur doing is best..and i dont really do much tutoring for maths now but im doing pretty well in 3 u...so in my opinion, it works!

Kumon is a tutoring college.

Kumon Or North Shore?

and i was gonna go to both of them
then i realised they were gay

 

[flyin']

I'd say NS, but not be much... NS use to be good, like a decade ago =p

 

[Numero Uno]

lol, You're not, but it keeps the parent happy.

 

[Numero Uno]

yeah but it's a waste of money cause any half educated parent could teach their sons how to do the work themselves.

Actually, at uni - it's doing work by ourselves which will get them (people who rely on tutoring)
