Run by Drs. Jane and Winston Chiong, this Kumon center in the Cushing Square area of Belmont helps students from preschool to high school hone their reading and math skills. After an assessment test is administered by one of the trained staff, a placement is determined for the student and a level is assigned. Students come in to the center once a week to complete independent work that is checked by an instructor. Students will then take work home to do throughout the week. The program is designed to assist children who either need extra help or to give challenges to students looking for more and wanting to excel. Payments are made by check or electronic bank transfer. Credit cards are not accepted.
