Pros

I LOVE working at kumon, I started years ago as a first job and I still come in to help whenever the manager needs extra coverage even though I have a “real” full time job already just because I love the center. Each center is independently run so your experience as an employee really depends on the center manager but mine was phenomenal. The kids make the job so fun, working here helped me develop a lifelong passion for teaching.

Cons

Limited work hours. Experience is highly dependent on the center manager. A lot of repetitive work (like grading and record reporting) which is not for everyone. Patience when working with the little kids is a must as well.
