In…read more6th grade he was failing math and they helped him understand what he previously didn't learn and catch up. He also took on extra math classes over the summers which helped him get ahead. In junior year of HS he breezed through Calculus BC and Physics with straight A's. Next year is Statistics in math, AP physics and yet another math class over the summer. He finds these classes interesting and fun! I think everyone would ace math if this was the normal curriculum and I wish it was. Kids are beating themselves up for not being smart enough where in reality they're just not taught the right way. I now have a teen who thinks math is fun and easy! Thanks to Mathnasium!

The center is very well staffed and kids get individual attention in their building effort. Each age group kids have age appropriate and brain stimulating activities.

I truly love this center.

Currently, my two children are studying Math and Reading at Kumon, Centreville…read more My younger one who is 2nd grade and very active, he caught up to his grade less than 1 year from 2A to B. Since he started Kumon, he established good work habits while he is doing Math and Reading everyday. I am very pleased that he is much more confident at school. My older kid who is 7th grade, taking Algebra Honors course at school. He started Kumon at beginning of this year because he is making careless mistakes at school. Because his lack of Math drill, he started Kumon on much lower level but he is catching up fast now. I am very confident that Kumon will be beneficial for both of boys and looking forward to see my kids improvement over the summer.

Update 7/21: We received a phone call after the fact trying to rectify and reschedule, so changed…read moreto 3 stars from 1 because they explained the individual that was supposed to meet with us was in a daily conference with parents of enrolled siblings. I still feel this could have just been explained to us during the time we just stood there or someone could have just rescheduled, I do think it's admirable that they care enough to spend the time talking to parents of enrolled students (hence the bump). I'm still no longer interested in enrollment though. 7/20: 1 star We were very excited to enroll our daughter in Kumon, as we have friends with children in Kumon, but in different location. We scheduled an assessment and appointment about a 5 days in advance (they are very busy and this was the earliest we could get). We arrived for our assessment, and our daughter was taken back to complete it. We waited outside (due to coiv.... very understandable). No one explained the process to us, just gave us some paperwork to fill out and review while we waited for our daughter's assessment to be completed. Once she was done, we had to ask what we needed to do next. after some confusion, someone told us we could wait inside. Then we waited, 20 mins (mind you, there were no chairs, just a window to lean on). We asked if we were waiting for someone, and they said, yes, someone would be out to talk with us shortly. We waited another 10 mins, and asked again what exactly we were waiting for, and they said someone would be with us. After another 10 mins, we gave up and left. We were set up for a 1 hour appointment, and left with our kid having only done a 10 min assessment in that time. They just seemed really unorganized and extremely busy. Not the best impression to make when seeking this kind of service. Parents should be aware that you cannot drop off your kid and return at the end of class... you must wait outside or in your car. The only plus was that our daughter said her assessor was really nice.

We recently withdrew our student from the South Riding Huntington program and would not recommend…read moreas it did not meet our tutoring needs. We were impressed at first with their intensive pre-enrolment evaluation where they used their proprietary tools and methods to assess our student's learning needs. They did a decent job presenting our student's needs and recommending learning plans to achieve our stated goals. I also like that they meet with us to discuss our student's learning progress. However, their program did not meet our specific needs due the following: Beyond what we were told in the periodic meetings, we did not have visibility to our student's learning materials. By design, there are no take home exercises or learning materials to encourage continued learning and practices while not at the center. We never saw the actual learning materials! Since there are no take-home work, it was important for us to see the actual learning materials and even how our student was graded on tests/exercises so that we can procure similar materials for ongoing practicing outside of tutoring sessions. The tutoring sessions did not translate to success in the classroom or report cards. We did not really have designated teacher/tutor. There seemed to be a rotation of teachers/tutors who would attend to our student during various tutoring sessions. This would be ideal for younger students but a concern for our student and our tutoring needs. We also became aware that their recruiting requirement for tutors indicated that "teaching experience is not required." Their fees outpace that of seasoned experienced tutors with teaching experience. In addition, I agree with another review on google (which looks like it has been taken down) about their tendency to be unnecessarily rigid. They once approached us within two hours to the start of our scheduled tutoring session and begged us to accommodate their last-minute schedule challenge and asked to inconveniently change our time. We obliged. At a later time, when we gave them a 12-hour notice of absence, they were unwilling to accommodate and instead rudely pointed to their policies (which is within their rights; they have a very rigid 24-hour rule). I did not appreciate their rudeness and overall impersonal attitudes considering that their services cater to families. I will definitely not recommend this tutoring program to other families!
