I signed up my daughter at Kumon Math & Reading center at 1030 Stelton Rd, Piscataway Township, New Jersey. A few days after attending the Kumon center we realize that Kumon is a SCAM!

If you're a parent thinking of Kumon do not to bother with these scam artists and have nothing to do with them. My daughter was made to do worksheets that had content below her grade level. There was no one in the center not even the owner who was the director, who knew to solve the material themselves. When my daughter would ask questions, she would be told to go home and ask us (her parents) how to solve and get the sheets the next class. Checking the Kumon sheets we found that it does not cover anything that is expected at school.

I took the Kumon material and went met with my daughter's Math teacher at school. Mind you, she is not a *** off the street. She is a certified Math teacher and licensed by the State with a Masters in Mathematics. She reviewed the Kumon material and told us that it was substandard and just a rip off scam service.

I found that the Kumon center director was not a certified teacher in Mathematics or English and was not a teacher fully licensed by the state.

My experience is that the customer service is also pathetic. It is a scam and should be shut down by the consumer protection agency. Kumon Math & Reading centers company is corrupt and is about as big as a rip off scam service as common crooks. I urge all parents who want to find a tutoring service for their not waste your time with Kumon Math & Reading. This is your warning. THIS IS A SCAM ALERT - STAY AWAY FROM KUMON.

Monetary Loss: $1000.

Location: Piscataway Township, New Jersey

Well, to be honest, NONE of the education franchises- Sylvan, Kumon, Huntington, Mathnasuim, etc - require an owner/teacher to have a background in education at all. Let alone be a current, certified teacher.

That would be a tall order. Each one has it's own curriculum, where they train you in it.

My dad hasn't realized how much kumon sucks. I just argued with him how it doesn't help.

This is a completely different style than school. We have already wasted about $10,000 dollars on it. Another thing is that I am on level L and I don't understand anything.

Most people like at the place I go just copy out the answer manual and I sometimes do that as well. My dad doesn't see that we are wasting money on stuff that doesn't teach me anything.

Hi my name is Jason. I attend Kumon every *** week.

I have been scammed by the director and my parents don't even know it. He lied to be and said (This person) likes Kumon! But what he didn't know was that the person he was talking about hated Kumon was my friend.

Later that day I asked him if he likes it and he said no. Meaning the man behind the *** desk lied to my face.

The Kumon system ruins teens lives. I would know

Our children study at Kumon center in Piscataway. Sara is a good teacher to our children.

The center has certainly improved after Sara became teacher. The old teacher Joya Joseph and her husband David Joseph were terrible.

Joya was cruel to children. If Joya and David Joseph were still teaching in the center, we would have not continued our children in the Kumon Math & Reading center

Piscataway center is becoming more good. Sarah is kind and nice teacher.

Joya Joseph and David Joseph owners were scoundrels and cheaters.

Totally agree! Joya and David Joseph were bad people in my opinion.

They treated student, staff and parents shabbily. Good riddance!

Guest

I completely disagree with your assessment of the Piscataway center. Our children used to go to the Piscataway Math & Reading center since many years now.

The center used to be run by one Joya Joseph and sometimes her husband David used to be seen around. The center was an eyesore when they used to run the center. The place was dirty and shabby. The owner Joya was extremely rude and had a very bad attitude.

We are happy with the current instructor Sarah who bought over the center from Mr. & Mrs. Joseph. My kids love her.

She has improved the center since the time of the disgusting woman Joya Joseph.

I agree. We had a bad experience at the center when it was run by Joya Joseph and her husband David Joseph. We removed our children soon after.
