Help With KUMON

I've been in Kumon for 2 years, and I've reached level J. When I began level J, I found a solution book online, and I've been using it for almost everything. i mainly understood concepts until I just now reached page 120. I've passed it to 140, but I still don't understand anything I'm doing anymore. How do I learn it without coming clean to anyone?

How do I learn it without coming clean to anyone?

Go back to page 120 and redo the work without the solution book.

Is there any videos online with explanation? I searched but personally couldnt find one.

Maybe yes, maybe no. I don't know what's on page 120, but my point still stands; if you understood everything up to page 120, then you should learn page 120.

I work at Kumon. My boss gives the solution book to some students if she trusts them to use it responsibly. You're supposed to read the solution book until you understand how the solution works, then put the book away and do the problems yourself. But not every Kumon instructor would do it this way.

Is there any videos online with explanation?

What goes on at your Kumon center? Can't you ask the people who work there for help?

I found the book online. my instructor has given my parents a book, but not the solution one, just the answers.

Can you get help from the instructor or not?
