Thinkster Math vs Kumon. An Insider’s Perspective.
A few weeks ago, I wrote a post on my Maths Insider blog comparing Thinkster Math to Kumon Math. I used to run my own Kumon centre in the UK and 2 of my own children worked through the Kumon program for several years, so I’m in a unique position to compare Thinkster Math’ innovative math program with the well established Kumon program……..
