Hema and her staff take a genuine interest in the development and success of students. My child has been attending for less than a year and I've noticed a significant improvement in reading and math which has translated to her operating above grade level in school. Kudos to Hema and the team!

Please note that my rating of 1 star for this terrible location is based on the 3-year-old age group. That is how old my daughter is. I cannot speak to any other age group outside of that range and I'm being fair with this review. You can check my reviews and see that I give great reviews in addition to bad ones where I feel they are merited and a bad review is definitely merited for this location.We were taking my 3-year-old to this location for about over 6 months and relocated to another state. My wife and I saw no improvements or major learning achievements within those 6+ months. Within those 6+ months we never had any other follow ups with "Hema" just to speak about where my daughter currently was within the program. We had one meeting when we signed up and that was it.We relocated to Maryland and enrolled her in a Kumon in the Baltimore County area. During our 1st...1st meeting with the director of the location they sat the 3 of us down and had an extensive conversation with us. They even gave my daughter some preliminary things to do and even they were surprised at how behind she was being in a Kumon as long as she was at Hema's location. After our first meeting, the director gave us (2) 100 sight word cardboard sheets, 100 sight word cards, and told us where they wanted her to be 2 months from that meeting. At that same meeting, they booked us for a 2 month follow up to see how she was doing. None of that EVER happened at Hema's location. I knew that I was wasting my money at Hema's location when they broke down in extensive detail how she was behind.After our first meeting, we've had at least 2 follow ups and our daughter is striving because she's in a location that actually cares and wants to see children improve. I would advise anyone considering this location, who has a 3 year old, do some research, check out other locations before you decide on this one. You could be very well wasting money like we were.

My daughter joined Kumon 6 years ago and I still see the benefits of this decision every day. My daughter has learned to set goals, manage her time, and persevere through challenges both in the classroom and the real word. I'm impressed with how much my child has improved since starting Kumon. Her reading and writing skills have come a long way. Prior to Kumon she was never interested in math, but she has since found her passion in math, taking an 8th grade honors class as a 7th grader. Kumon has also increased her confidence in her academic abilities tremendously. This increased confidence is the reason she is doing well with Diagnostic testing at school. I highly recommend east hanover Kumon center to all parents. The owner of this location, Ms.Hema, is very passionate about teaching. She inspires students to learn, to challenge themselves, and to reach their full potential. She is easily approachable and available to the parents to help monitor your child’s progress. Kumon is a great place for children to learn and grow in a positive and supportive learning environment.

I just want to thank you from my bottom of heart! I was very reluctant to send her at first but after a couple of classes my daughter grew to love Kumon. My daughter now considers Ms. Hema and Kumon a part of her family and their dedication to my daughters education has helped me beyond words! Thank you for making her very special!

Very good experience with this Kumon center! The instructor is so knowledgeable and always reply my questions ASAP. Kids may not like it that much but they made so much progress in the past year! The only wish is they could have more open hours for different days!

Our daughter is in 1st grade, and we noticed that she is not a good reader compared to some of her classmates. Someone advised us to enroll her at Kumon program, specifically the one at East Hanover. We took the advice and in 1 month, we noticed the improvement. After 3 months, she passed 3 levels in reading. Even her school teacher stated that our daughter is a great reader.I would like to thank Hema and her team for the great work.Keep it up ?.

Our son has been at this Kumon location for 15 months and the amount of progress he has made in both math and reading is incredible. He puts in the work and practice, but the content, support, and discipline that Kumon provides enables him to learn. His confidence has increased at home and school, so it's worth the time and investment. The owner, Hema, is responsive and caring and we are glad we chose this location.

Our Kids have been enrolled in Kumon at East Hanover since Sept of 2021,and within 6 months there have been a stark difference in academic performance for both kids. Our kindergartner was struggling with reading but was really bright in math. We enrolled him in both reading and math programs to improve his reading and challenge his math skills, respectively. Our 5th grader was above average student but was low on her confidence about her academic ability. After joining Kumon, she has been a confident student and has excelled in all of her courses.Ms Hema has been an excellent center director,who not only focuses on academic excellence but also on organization, routine and discipline. Although we have moved out of the area, we plan to continue our kids with Kumon at East Hanover.

I would like to start with thanking Ms. Hema and her team for the wonderful journey we had so far. My five-year-old started his Kumon journey 18 months ago in the midst of COVID with online classes and slowly transitioning to in-person class. It was a challenge for initial few months to adjust especially attending online classes, few months into the program we really started to see the difference especially the love for numbers and reading books. The confidence level has gone up and lot of positives from the program. I would recommend this program for every kid which will boast the self confidence and give that extra edge to stay ahead!

I first brought my daughter to Kumon East Hanover in 2015 when she was in 7th grade. At that time, she had been struggling with reading comprehension and showed weaknesses in grammar, vocabulary usage, and essay writing. Within a year of being enrolled in Kumon’s reading program, I saw tremendous improvement in my daughter’s test scores in both her Language Arts and Reading classes. She became a faster reader, improved on retaining information from reading passages, advanced her vocabulary, and elevated her writing skills by including more complex sentences and proper grammar usage. Seeing the tremendous improvement my daughter made in such little time, I decided to enroll my son much earlier in Kumon for both reading and math. As he enters high school and begins to take more advanced math courses including Geometry and Precalculus, I can confidently say he has a strong foundation in Pre-Algebra and Algebra that he can build off of and use to succeed in high school math courses as well as standardized testing. Kumon emphasizes independent thinking and the use of repetition to ensure that new skills are ingrained into children’s brains.I would highly recommend Kumon to all parents, but especially parents to young children who are just beginning their academic journeys. I recommended to my sister that she enroll her two young daughters (ages 5 and 9) in Kumon to get ahead of their school’s curriculum and to strengthen any early weaknesses both may demonstrate in either reading or math.The director of the this Kumon center, Ms. Hema is an outstanding instructor. She is committed to each one of her students and their personal growth at Kumon and she keeps an open communication channel with the parents/guardians of her students. Ms. Hema maintains an organized learning environment and places special emphasis on routine, reinforcement of skills, time management, and organization. Ms. Hema is truly an accessible mentor and I attribute my children’s successes through Kumon to her and her efforts.

My son has been attending this Kumon facility for the last 3 years and I have seen immense growth in him not just academically but also in his confidence in math which has enabled him to embrace math even when the lesson may seem a challenge. I can’t thank all of the staff enough for everything they do. Even during these challenging times in the world, they are always able to lend a helping hand by offering remote when needed.

There is nothing but good things to say about Kumon of East Hanover. Our kid was already showing great skills and inclination towards academics since toddler age. Because of extremely busy work lives, we were worried about our inability to spend enough time consistently supporting academics outside of school. We wanted him to be up to speed with the level of maths and reading outside of USA. He took tests at multiple Kumon franchises around this area. Ms. Hema was the only one who seemed to be at par with our interests. She has a distinctive approach to this system which has brought great results. She is objective, flexible and quite observant. Having come from a global corporate background herself, she has a keen eye for detailing what is relevant. She is extremely personable while being sweetly strict wherever due. This center has augmented my kid's natural inclination towards academics and helped him realize his true potential. He reads and writes many levels upwards as well as started arithmetic at an extremely young age. In preschool itself, he was the narrator of a play as well as the class reader. Any parent who needs and are able should get their kids required help at this center. There will undoubtedly be great outcomes much beyond what one can think of. The facility itself is extremely clean and feels like walking into an upscale lobby. And the staff are the kindest and sweetest ones.I wish Ms. Hema and her team continued success and growth. Thank you for everything you do.

Our daughters (ages 8 and 5) are part of the Kumon of East Hanover. We decided to put them in Kumon because we learned the program is designed to build on core skills aimed at enhancing their reading and math competence. We chose the East Hanover center because of the strong reviews compared to other centers in the area.Our eldest has been part of this center for now more than 3 years and we have seen material improvement in her reading, writing, and math. Our younger daughter has also benefited from this program and is now able to do addition and read. Both girls really enjoy going to this center and working with Mrs. Hema and all of her staff. The environment is positive and welcoming.We are really happy with the progress both girls have made in this enrichment program and would strongly recommend the Kumon of East Hanover. Mrs. Hema is the one in charge and she and her staff does a wonderful job of establishing a positive learning environment for the children.

As someone who worked at this center for over a year, I was able to see the amount of hard work and dedication Ms. Hema puts into her students. When schools went completely remote last year, Ms. Hema had the idea to switch to Zoom lessons to help track students’ progress. Ms. Hema worked tirelessly to make proper adjustments to allow students to continue receiving the instruction they need. I would definitely recommend bringing your kids to her!
