not my thing
Assistant (Former Employee) – Pound Hill – 17 October 2018
i hated working here as the staff were often unfriendly and boring however if you like maths and english you would likely enjoy working here as there is lots of ways you can help the kids improve
Good first part time job
assistant (Current Employee) – Harold Wood, Greater London – 2 February 2018
Liaising with parents and dealing with children of various abilities. Gave me good inter-personal skills and understanding of a work place. However communications between manager and co- workers in this instance needed much improvement.
nice working environment
Assistant (Current Employee) – Birmingham – 11 November 2017
I currently work at a Kumon centre where I have the responsibility of sorting out children's work and marking it. It is a lovely working environment and would recommend it to any young people who are looking for a part time job. I found this job very convenient during my A levels as it never clashed with exam season and management was always lenient if had to take a day off for an exam.

Nice boss/bad pay and benefits
Assistant (Former Employee) – Crawley, West Sussex – 1 June 2017
My overall experience has been positive, the manager in nice to work with and very helpful, as were my colleagues. Bad pay though and often casual work rather than contract.
Fun
Assistant (Former Employee) – Abergavenny, Blaenau Gwent – 24 April 2017
Good working environment, at a fast working pace. I would mark children's maths and english work, and I learnt how to do this at a fast pace. It was pressuring at the beginning but it got easier as I became more experienced.
Cons
Not many hours
productive and fun working place
Assistant (Current Employee) – Loughborough – 3 May 2016
working with the team has increased my sociability and communicating skills. the most enjoyable part is meeting new children at the centre every week and seeing my colleagues.
A good working place with minimal flaws
Assistant (Former Employee) – Coventry, ENG – 3 February 2016
Typical day at work usually starts with setting up the class and then going to the marking table to do administrative work. I learned how to set a situation to live up to expected health and safety standards. co-workers are friendly and willing to teach new assistants
Fun and Hard working place
Assistant (Current Employee) – Hereford, ENG – 14 October 2015
I've learnt how to be part of a team and have gained communication skills. Not only by working with the other assistants and instructor but with working with the kids and sometimes their parents. Great Management and co-workers.
Productive and busy workplace
Assistant (Current Employee) – Stevenage – 8 April 2014
a typical day at my work will differ from day to day. On a monday i will sit on a table with around 5/6 children between the ages of 4-10 helping them with their English and Maths work. This is under timed conditions ensuring each child is happy, safe and comfortable.
On Tuesdays I sit with another assistant and mark work given in from children and then grade it in folders. Once it has been graded I organise it into folders, put it in alphabetical order and file it.
On Saturdays I also mark and grade work whilst managing 'number-boards' which I am also in charge of. This has taught me how to manage between responsibilities.
