[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kumon isn't tutoring, it is learning how to do math calculations quickly and accurately. They would test her and probably start her on addition facts, then subtraction, then multiplication, long division, fractions, decimals, etc. It would take her a 1 to 2 years to reach the Algebra level of Kumon.

My kids have been doing Kumon for years. I'm more optimistic about Kumon working for the OP's child. I don't think it would take so long to reach the Algebra level. Each level has 200 pages. Even if they started him on level A (addition), he could do 10 pages a day, finish the level in 20 days, repeat the last 100 pages in 10 days, thus completing the level in 30 days. Maybe they wouldn't make him repeat the last 100 pages or maybe they would give him more than 10 pages a day. He could probably finish levels B, C, and D as quickly. He may need to cut down the number of pages per day at level E or F (fractions). Algebra starts at level G, I think.

Why not go for the free evaluation and talk to the Kumon instructor about it? Surely they have worked with 9th graders in this situation before.[/quote]
