We have had an incredible experience with Kumon in Aiea! Our son was not being challenged in math at school (5th grade) and he really missed doing regular math work. He has attended for 8 months and is about to start Grade 9 math work (4 grades ahead!) He has really thrived in this system as it's easy to follow and provides that dopamine surge every time he moves up another level. They have some fun incentives too like Kumon Bucks they can cash in for little toys, and color coded straps for tablet holders that designate which level they're on (similar to colored karate belts!) We opted to do the worksheets on a tablet vs paper, which is very handy and allows for almost same day feedback and corrections. The parent app is easy to use and monitor progress. Mr. Brennan is a very kind and approachable teacher; our son enjoys working with him and he is always quick to respond to emails. In some circles the Kumon program receives negative feedback due to it's rigor and rigidity. We did not find any of these to be the case with the Aiea location, and highly recommend it if your child needs math help or simply wants more math problems to do! My son was remarking the other day that his mental math ability has improved dramatically, which has really helped his ability to solve more complex math problems. Thank you, Mr. Brennan!

Well organized and operated. Mr Brennan is responsive to the needs of the students and inquiries from the parents (he must get tons of questions/requests). He really pushes them to do their best. There seems to be a lot of turnover of the teachers but that’s to be expected. Every teacher my kids have ever worked with has been great. Aiea kumon is pretty popular for a good reason.

Kumon is a great program. Brennan, the owner, is kind, caring and positive. He observes how the students are performing in class, provides feedback along with guidance as needed, and answers your questions outside of class hours. His staff is also patient with the students, and my kids have learned a lot from being in Kumon.
