I highly recommend Telford Kumon Centre. My daughter and son maths and English have improved significantly over the years. Graham and his team are incredibly supportive, knowledgeable, and dedicated to helping children succeed. They have helped build my children’s confidence, especially my daughters. Thank you Graham for all the support and patience🙏
View original Google reviewI couldn't highly recommend this center,specially Mrs. Lupita. Thank you for all of your help and professionalism. We will definitely continue with kumon under your supervision.
View original Google reviewWe signed up to Kumon about two years ago, and the development we’ve seen in our daughter, particularly over the last year, has been remarkable. Her confidence, ability and approach to learning have all improved so much, and it’s been wonderful to see how much she has progressed. A huge part of this is down to the consistent support and encouragement she receives at Kumon. Chris and Kat are both incredibly dedicated, patient and supportive. The communication has been excellent, we’re always kept up to date with our daughter’s progress, both are approachable and happy to discuss any questions or concerns we may have. We’ve been really impressed with the progress our daughter has made and couldn’t be happier with the experience. We would highly recommend Kumon to any parent looking for a supportive environment that helps children build both their skills and confidence.
View original Google reviewWe are so thankful for our experience at this center! Our son made amazing progress in both Math and Reading. We truly appreciate Instructor Tiya Chang and all of his dedicated teachers for their support. A big thank you to the staff as well—they are always prompt, friendly, and helpful every single time! Highly recommend this center.

View original Google reviewI’m very happy with this KUMON centre. It’s in a convenient location, and Anita has been incredibly supportive. She gives my niece 1:1 attention and ensures she stays focused and confident while learning. I’ve seen a positive difference in my neice's attitude toward studies. Highly recommended.
View original Google reviewWe’ve been incredibly impressed with Anita and the support she’s given our son through Kumon. She has shown so much patience, encouragement and perseverance with his maths, and we’re now seeing a real improvement in both his number formation and his confidence with arithmetic. Thanks to the progress he’s made, he’s recently started Kumon English as well, and he’s doing really well. Anita has created such a positive learning environment that motivates him to keep trying and achieve his best. We’re so grateful for her dedication and would highly recommend Anita and her Kumon centre to any parent looking to build their child’s confidence and skills in maths and English.
View original Google reviewMy children have been attending for 5 years now - the progress has been remarkable. My son is year 5 and is now 3 years ahead and my daughter is in year 8 and is 2 years ahead. It's amazing to see the confidence in their learning. Support is always available by Vaishali whatever time of day If children are struggling with the work! I would recommend to anyone!
View original Google reviewMy daughter has just finished Year 1 and started Kumon (Waltham Cross) at 4 years old, participating in Kumon lessons and regularly completing her homework has helped her to develop her English and Maths skills to the point that she is now 2 years ahead in Maths and English! The staff are supportive and very patient in teaching my daughter, as well as very professional.

Sentiment Written comments are classified as positive, mixed or negative using a rule-based score: 70% from the star rating and 30% from keyword signals. Scores above 0.25 are positive, below −0.25 negative, and otherwise mixed. Negation, sarcasm and context may be misclassified. Ratings without comments remain “rating only”.
Topics Recurring subjects are detected from phrases associated with learning progress, staff, confidence, individual attention and practice. One review can mention several topics.
Averages The review-weighted figure gives every review equal weight. The centre-weighted figure first averages each centre, then gives every centre equal weight.
Safeguards Regional comparisons require at least five centres and 50 reviews. Time comparisons require at least 50 reviews in each 12-month period.
Limitations Google reviewers are self-selecting, automated labels can be imperfect, and the collected sample is not a random national survey and does not establish educational outcomes. Wider coverage alone does not remove selection bias.
