Kumon Math and Reading Center of Cypress – North

We are very impressed about the technique of teaching and the site itself. It’s our privilege to be living around the area and now my daughter goes here too and just recently got tested and they feel that she needs more time and will do another review and evaluation. They didn’t just proceed her to the next level instead they give her a review on the topic she’s having trouble.
For my son, just got readiness for kindergarten assessment was very successful. He was done within 7mins and the teacher was very impressed and her comment was «he work very fast».
Thank you Kumon Cypress and More power to all the staff.

Awesome!!! Just had a parent/​teacher conference with my kiddo’s kinder teacher and he’s at the top of his class, especially with reading, writing and math. And I attribute that to the extra time he spends at Kumon. And it’s only been a couple of months! His penmanship is getting better and more legible. He answers math questions quicker, he’s able to blend word and write multiple sentences about a singular topic. He’s reading words that I didn’t even know he knew.
He enjoys the kumon workbooks for the most part and is excited to do them (but it could be because it’s part of his «chore» list). He enjoys the challenge of being able to finish the booklets «faster» each time. At first when we began, he was doing both math and reading/​writing with 10-​page booklets. But honestly, it was a lot for my lil kinder guy especially after a long day of school and activities. After speaking with Mr. Michael, he suggested cutting the workload to either just one subject or fewer number of pages. I chose the latter to ensure that both topics were covered still and I’ve seen major improvements on willingness to complete the books, excitement to do the work and satisfaction of doing a job well done.
The little rewards they have in the center also are a cute incentive. The kids are given kumon dollars to earn towards little prizes. It’s adorable to see the kids count their money and decide if they want to spend now or save for a bigger item. Great way to teach a child about the value of a dollar, delayed vs instant gratification, and smart spend habits. I’ve seen a mix of kids who go «shopping» with the few kumon dollars they’ve earned and get small items and I’ve seen many save up for the bigger prizes.
Ms. Mindy is incredibly sweet but stern at the same time. No push-​over there and she can turn whining of «I don’t knows» into smiles of «I know it!!!» almost magically! (I gotta learn that trick!!!)
The center is open Mondays and Thursdays starting at 230pm. Depending on workload, kids finish up their in-​class work in average of 45minutes. They are also assigned homework to complete when at home.
Some parents like to sit there and wait in the small front entrance or in their cars, but Starbucks, albertsons, dollar tree, Ross, marshalls, Home Depot and a bunch of other stores are nearby for a quick shopping trip. So convenient. I never understood why anyone would want to sit in their car for 45 minutes. If my son gets done early, he calls me on the center’s phone and Mr. Michael never lets anyone out unless he sees parent. It’s amazing that he can he remember all the kids and all the parents… by first and last name!
I think one of the best advice I got so far from Mr. Michael and Ms. Mindy was if my kiddo doesn’t finish the work at home, it IS okay. Pushing him too hard will just discourage him and he will not enjoy kumon. They can always move the work to the next day. The important thing is that my kiddo goes at his own pace which will allow him to continue to enjoy the work and succeed. Can’t wait to see how this year progresses!!!

One of the best learning center in town you will want to send your child to. As a parent who is also teaching in school, I noticed that my child shows interests in math when he was very young. I’m very happy that I found this specific Kumon location to help my child with Ms. Mindy and Mr. Michael’s big support. They are very professional and always response positively with smile. Moreover, with the new common core learning materials (could be very confusing/​complicated) taught in the public school system, I strongly prefer the Kumon method to make learning math simply more fun and easy. In this center, they never set a limit for your children’s learning and motivate them to perform the best they can potentially achieve.
