I did this with my DS and he found it so boring that I was forcing him to do it and we stopped after a few months. I think the Kumon maths is meant to be OK as doing sums is probably more interesting than just copying words out.

I ended up getting a tutor for English for my DS instead which was a lot better. Although the tutor was more expensive, she only gives lessons in term time whereas Kumon is all year round so is probably ends up costing much the same.

Thanks Frankie3,
I tried Maths, and quit as it was too boring and for having to force too much.. but read some testimonials that English was good, so thats why I asked.
Thanks !
