This is a wonderful organization that I am so proud to volunteer at. I tutor reading here 1-2 hours…read morea week. I have had the great opportunity to meet some very nice, wonderful kids, as well as, some amazing tutors and hardworking NHR people. Some of the kids I have worked with have ranged from 3rd grade to 7th. We do various reading/literacy activities via workbooks, computer games, and of course in the books they choose to read. Some times they bring school work and they always bring great stories about their day or what they did over the weekend. There are always apples or tangerines, and string cheese available as healthy snacks for the kids. There is also an amazing amount of books there FOR FREE!! I get so nostalgic when I walk in there because I see all of my favorites from childhood lining the shelves: Nancy Drew, The Phantom Tollbooth, My Side of the Mountain, A Wrinkle in Time. The staff makes it so easy to jump in and tutor. They are very understanding, supportive, welcoming, and just phenomenal with all of the kids. They know them all so well. I find that overwhelmingly impressive because there are so many of them! Volunteer, donate, visit, or peruse here. It is a wonderful program and place here in New Haven.

NHR is a great community organization! I volunteer there and I always come back with a few books in…read morehand. It's wonderful to be able to get books for free, and as a student, I can sometimes find books for English classes there. Beyond the book bank, the tutoring program is fantastic!

I'm glad I didn't read the only one star review before I scheduled a placement test there because I…read morewouldn't have come. We started coming here only a few weeks ago - I already see the difference! My first grader is one of the youngest kids in the class and has struggled through her kindergarten with low confidence. I'm amazed how well she is reading all her assignments. My 4th grader is also gaining her math understanding and reading comprehension and confidence! - I can tell the program is helping. (I would know, I struggled through the few months of Covid-19 homeschooling and I know where my kids were academically). This place has a good program, good tutors, very diverse. It is not a one time quick fix, it is really a building from the foundation.

Not happy. We wound up doing any teaching for our daughter at home. Kumon is not worth the money…read more The tutors have too many students, all they do is grade the workbooks, no real helping. Then to finish the rip off they make you pay for an additional 30 days after dis-enroling. Go somewhere else or just buy a few workbooks and do it yourself at home. I can't be any more blunt than to say Kumon in Woodbridge CT is a waste of money.

My daughter began attending Kumon, when we discovered that her math program at school was not very…read morerobust. Kumon helped to build her stamina for math as well as her confidence and competence. She has turned into a "math person"!

Our daughter has been attending Kumon at 2340 Whitney Ave in Hamden, CT for the past two years…read more The advances in her math and reading skills are incredible. In addition to being a stronger student academically, her self-esteem has also risen. Her schooling with Mrs. S and Kumon has helped her in and out of the classroom. If you have any doubts make a appointment and not only talk to Mrs. S but the parents in the waiting area. Our backgrounds are varied but our success is common! Kerry

This seems to be a great reading and math program. To me it's flexible schedule, I like that they…read moregive consistent homework and they have Ann incentive program for grades, not for doing the work but knowing it. The staff is patient. Raj, who runs the Trumbull and North Haven center is very easy to work with as well. I like that they offer support classes but also classes for enrichment. My son, who's a bit mite advanced in both subjects, is no longer feeling unchallenged in school because he takes these classes in between! MATH: With today's changing times where elementary and middle schools are leaning toward the common core German method of teaching (like the more well known and reputable universities in our country!) I think a program like this is going to be critical to helping our children understand the fundamentals of math. Schools today may not be able to teach both with an aggressive/limited school schedule unlike foreign countries who attend school year round and have the proper time. I have already found my son living to solve math problems and testing himself on skills. Unprompted! READING: great to learn handwriting, reading technique. My son has always loved books but now I find he's also loves writing things for me to read. It's awesome. We also discovered in school he is a speed reader and enjoys long novels. These classes ares teaching him how to use words properly and also the various meaning to the same words. Including sound variations. Summary: well worth the investment.
