Real Stories from Parents Who Left Kumon Behind

"Kumon cost and rigid worksheets just didn’t work for my son. He needed help preparing for an exam the next day, but Kumon’s one-size-fits-all approach left him struggling. Mentor Match, with its personalized 1-on-1 tutoring, was a game-changer!"
 Lisa P
 Ethan’s Mom
"The Kumon price quickly added up, and we weren’t even getting the tailored support we needed. Switching to Mentor Match not only saved us money but also gave my daughter the focused attention she needed to improve her grades."
Mark J
Olivia’s Dad
"Kumon costs for their program felt outdated and misaligned with my child’s school curriculum. It was frustrating to see him struggle with irrelevant worksheets. Mentor Match’s alignment with the K-12 curriculum and exam prep support made all the difference."
Emily R
Noah’s Mom
