Kumon has helped me in learning reading. My name is Zoe and I love kumon. It is fun, educational, and it helps you learn. Also, you can get a lollipop or other sweet snacks after you finish although you can take only one. I support Red Mill Kumon. One more thing, you can watch tv when you’re done with kumon while waiting for your parent to pick you up. Still, it is not free and it is about $100 per month. It also helps you level up. I give special thanks to my mom who has helped me learn a lot, Dr Cortha, and other instructors who have inspired me to keep going. Thank you for taking your time to read this, I hope you will join😆😄👍🤩😊🙃😛😝👩🏻

Our children have been with Kumon – Redmill since 2020. We enrolled my daughter, when she was struggling in math, one month before the pandemic. Six months later, we also enrolled our son in math and reading to ensure he stayed on pace while school instruction remained virtual. The work my kids were given were incredibly helpful because they were able to practice daily which helped with their memory retention and most importantly, their confidence in the work they were doing. The results over the last 3 years are evident that Kumon is a wonderful investment for any child. I highly recommend Kumon, but Kumon Redmill holds a special place in our heart because of their amazing and supportive team. They make learning interesting, fun, and undeniably rewarding. Thank you Dr. Pringle and Team!

Katherine Williams4 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Katherine has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
Kumon has done amazing things for my daughter. We started Kumon when she was four years old and in preschool. Initially we enrolled to help develop her confidence as she is on the younger end of the age spectrum for her grade.
After almost two years in the program, she is excelling in both reading and math. Her progress in Kumon has been amazing to watch. I have no concerns about her performance in school because of Kumon.
I love how the program ensures mastery of a concept or skill prior to advancing. This building block method builds confidence and a foundation for learning more complex skills. I know each child learns at their own pace but kumon gives them such a huge jump!
Full disclosure: getting my daughter to focus and complete the Kumon homework worksheets at home are a challenge some days; however, she loves going to the Kumon center and interacting with Dr. Cortha and her amazing staff. 💕
I can’t recommend kumon enough. It often comes up in conversation with other parents and it surprises me how many people have never heard of it. I recommend it to any parent concerned about their child’s progress at school- whether they are behind and need to catch up or seeking enrichment.

I have been impressed with Kumon Red Mill from day 1! The entire staff is amazing. I am very pleased with the communication. I am kept up to date on my child's progress. This past year has been crazy for all of us and Dr. Pringle didn't miss a beat with zoom lessons from the beginning. There is convenient pick up and drop off for work. All of our questions and any concerns are addressed and answered right away. I highly recommend Kumon Red Mill to anyone who is looking for extra help for their child!!! I couldn't be more satisfied!

I have a middle schooler and a high schooler attending Kumon for math. Since this school year was on a 4 x 4 schedule, both my kids had their math classes first semester. In preparation for next year, I did not want them to lose any of their math skills during the second semester. What I love about Kumon is that the program holds my kids accountable. Dr. Pringle treats the students as her own and truly cares about the success of the students. She is very transparent and communicates her expectations. Both of my kids are thriving at Kumon.
