Kumon Math and Reading Center of Tierrasanta

I went in to get a quote. i didn’t really know anything about this business. it was recomended by a friend. Went in and Neelam S. Chaudhri quoted me $ 790. i was hesitant because it was a lot of money. i got both programs for 6 months paid up front. my son did the 6 months and showed a little bit of improvement. after the six months we were asked to renew. so i did i figured little improvement is better then none. when we renewed i was charged $ 1402. i almost fell over. my husband came in to talk to Neelam S. Chaudhri and she told him that she had made a mistake and that she had only charged me half of the tuition for the first six months and that we needed to quickly pay $ 790 for that last six months also on top of the $ 1402 that we had just paid maybe a week before. we decided to cancel. when we told her that she stated that we wouldn’t have to pay for the 6 months since it was her mistake. My husband and i had lost our trust with her and her shady business dealings so he told her we would be canceling any way. when i got the refund from her it was only $ 191. she charged us for the 6 months any way plus two moths after (she had taken a long time to charge my card). also the way she treats the children is like she is herding cattle. she talks down to them and the work the children do there is work sheets the people grade them and thats about it. for $ 1400 every six months thats ridiculous. I guess the worst part is that if she had quoted me the $ 1400 in the first place i would have just left and not signed up at all. and now I’m out $ 2192 for nothing…

Can’t believe there are no other reviews for this place as it’s been here for years. Anyway, I give 3 stars because after 9 mos., my daughter did seem to improve in math. The problem is there is virtually no one on one tutoring. The kids basically just sit there for about an hour doing their workbooks. The workers there check the workbooks but spend almost no time actually working with the kids. So for $ 230 a month, it’s overpriced. For just a bunch of workbooks, checking, tracking progress, I’d maybe pay a $ 100. Also, not once was I contacted to personally go over my kid’s progress. So lots of workbooks at the center and at home for $ 230 a month. We’re done here.
