Kumon advice!
My sons are both doung Kumon, and they both love it and have come on massively, my oldest son is going into year 4 and I am wondering wether o stop kumon in year 5 for when he is being tutored for the 11+, would anyone else do the same or does Kumon really help them in the exam. Thank you for your help.

Hi,
I chose to stop Kumon in the Dec of year 5. It helped my daughter immensely with her maths, but it focuses more on mental mathematics and not problem solving. The skills she has learnt from kumon mean that she is able to do the maths quickly (faster than me at times). Kumon didnt teach the various topics in maths that are required for the 11+.
However, if you are considering tuition for 11+ specifically then the workload will be too much...kumon/school and tutors.
Hope this helps
