We started our child at Kumon Somerville over the summer for Math and Reading, and the experience has been nothing short of amazing! He just started Kindergarten this fall, and before Kumon, he did not enjoy reading at all—we really struggled as parents to make reading fun for him.
Kumon has completely turned that around. He actually looks forward to going twice a week and thoroughly enjoys his time there. He was even part of their recent award ceremony, which gave him a huge boost of confidence. Now, he's super excited about stepping up on the progress ladder and completing his sticker charts even faster.
We are so grateful to the Kumon Somerville team for fostering such a positive, motivating environment!
Collection Reviews are collected from publicly available Google Maps listings and periodically refreshed. Review IDs are used to prevent duplicates when a listing is collected again.
Sentiment Written comments are classified as positive, mixed or negative using a rule-based score: 70% from the star rating and 30% from keyword signals. Scores above 0.25 are positive, below −0.25 negative, and otherwise mixed. Negation, sarcasm and context may be misclassified. Ratings without comments remain “rating only”.
Topics Recurring subjects are detected from phrases associated with learning progress, staff, confidence, individual attention and practice. One review can mention several topics.
Averages The review-weighted figure gives every review equal weight. The centre-weighted figure first averages each centre, then gives every centre equal weight.
Safeguards Regional comparisons require at least five centres and 50 reviews. Time comparisons require at least 50 reviews in each 12-month period.
Limitations Google reviewers are self-selecting, automated labels can be imperfect, and the collected sample is not a random national survey and does not establish educational outcomes. Wider coverage alone does not remove selection bias.
Analysis last refreshed Oct 2026. Known-centre coverage uses an approximate denominator of 1750 US locations.

Both my kids are doing Kumon and enjoying it. I started my boy at 4+, and fast forward 2 years later, he is doing fractions. It's difficult and understandably so, but he still look forward to his classes. My #2 started recently and also enjoying it... She said she misses her Kumon teachers and cannot wait to go Kumon.
Our kid has been in Kumon for 5 years now, there is no screaming or crying ever. I can't make them stop Kumon, they like the instructors and doing their sheets. They are also into reading a lot.
I never thought I would make it this far, from 2A to level O. Math has always been my worst and least favorite subject... as time went by... math became a daily routine for me... it turned out to be the subject I enjoyed the most in high school. Kumon is not only about learning math and other subjects, but it also teaches discipline and how to deeply study by yourself.
I did it as a kid and it changed my life. It really taught me to concentrate. Once I got Maths science fell in to place and I became confident academically. I’m a big fan.
For me, it was worth it. I used to struggle with math, but during my jhs years with kumon, my math grades consistently reached line of 9. In shs, it never dropped below 95, and in college, my math grades soared to 99-100.
I like it because I really need structure and I’m bad at self studying. It’s really helping just to force me into a habit, and it’s really helping with reading, writing, kanji and vocab especially... Overall I recommend at least giving it a shot. It’s been the only way I have found to make myself study consistently.
Did Kumon math as a child and I credit it with making me comfortable, confident, and fluent in math. So many students struggle with math confidence... having a quick recall of basic arithmetic, and developing the good work habits (“a little each day”) all are incredibly helpful.
