My y4 DD started kumon in sept. Both English and Maths, both from level 2a ( basic skills - eg Maths addition one digit numbers). The tutor suggested that she needs to reinforce those basic skills to be fluent later on. Fine, no problems with that.
However as time goes by I noticed that she is now given half of a set per day ( standard is 10 per day, she is given 5) in both subjects. In Maths she repeats sets.
I am getting a bit upset now, as I am paying so much for it and there is no indication she needs to slow down: generally 100% correct, sometimes, 1-2 mistakes per set, great timing.
I am happy with my child's attitude and I can see the positive results but on the other hand I seem to be ripped off. I spoke with the tutor and I can understand his approach but I am not sure how honest he is...
Can you please share your experience? Do your kids follow the tables as in the programme?
