Kumon Math and Reading Center of Philadelphia - Center City West
Franchise
Overview
This Kumon center at 238 N 22nd St. in Philadelphia offers the well-known Kumon Math and Reading programs, covering everything from pre-reading and counting skills up through calculus, trigonometry, probability, and advanced reading comprehension. The method is built on daily worksheet practice, mastering one skill completely before moving to the next.
In-center classes run Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3-7 PM, plus Saturday mornings from 9 AM to noon. Virtual class options are also available on the same weekday schedule. The center supports Kumon Connect, a digital format that lets students complete worksheets on a tablet with a stylus, and parents can track progress online.
New families can schedule a free assessment to pinpoint where their child stands academically. There is a registration fee of up to $80, though promotional waivers come up periodically -- they also offer an English program specifically designed for Spanish speakers. The goal is to get students studying above grade level while building independence and reducing homework anxiety.
