Sylvan Learning Reviews

We’ve been with Sylvan for four months now. My son is seven years old and they focus on Reading. They help him with understanding questions. Going to Sylvan has been beneficial for my child.

We've used Sylvan for summer programs and right now, Sylvan is focusing on Math, fractions and quotients for fifth and sixth grade levels for Rachel. She loves it and the teachers. It seems like they're very caring and I appreciate that. I love the constant information and communication.

My son wasn't getting what he needed from the teacher. The teachers thought he understood it after one problem, but he said, "No, that's not correct." I set up a meeting with a Sylvan Learning tutor, and he was very pleased with her. He said that they seemed to be on the same page. He was very excited when he left there that he liked her, and he understood the Math fully when we left. We just used Sylvan that one time. My son is starting a different school this year. I will contact Sylvan and ask for that tutor if he needs it in the future.

We had our daughter doing in-school activities such as luncheons after school with the school she was attending. It was called the Homework Club, and Sylvan Learning was able to bridge the gap between missed learning milestones that were skipped over during the COVID, essentially, an out-of-school period for my daughter. Sylvan was the one that my niece used, and my wife used it as well. She attended the same location when she was a child. We had great feedback when we asked around what would be the worthwhile place to invest our resources. It was very clear Sylvan was the best option out of the available ones, from what I could tell from feedback from friends, and we've had essentially the same experience.

It was a great experience for me, and the director was really nice. My son is in kindergarten and he picked up from the tutoring pretty well. He was a little playful and hyper whenever he would go to Sylvan. It was expensive, but considering that my son goes once a week, it was reasonable. Overall, it was good.

Then we found out that our child was pretty delayed and I really wanted something more professional. Unfortunately, there was not anything in our area. Then I remembered the Sylvan Learning center that used to be in Odessa. I looked them up and I noticed there was one in Midland. And so, we drive it twice a week, and I love it.

Our experience with Sylvan has always been great every time I take my kid up there and I don’t have bad vibes. They’re helping him with Reading. He has different tutors each time and they have him read and I see he writes sometimes. He says he likes attending Sylvan. It’s a great program.

My child was using Kumon before and after a referral, we decided to use Sylvan. Since she started with them, she has improved. She scored higher on her last test, which was the whole goal. Everything's good but we have Sylvan on pause right now until the beginning of next month.

We've been going to Sylvan for a few months now, and so far, the communication's been great. It’s been definitely a positive experience since joining. Just within the last few months, I've noticed a lot with my son. They help him in reading and he really likes attending Sylvan. I like that I get calls from them and we have meetings. They show the assessment scores from the last few tests. Then they compare it to the current one and break it all down.

Sylvan Learning has been super helpful with our kiddo, and now, we’ve seen positive impacts from it. Sylvan is what’s available in our area, and the enrollment was quick and easy. They just made things simple.

My daughter has been behind in Math for many years now. I was trying to help her get caught up with her grade level. I enrolled her at Sylvan Learning. She was feeling a little bit more confident. She likes going over there and she also has some lessons online. The tutors are fine. My daughter had an issue with one of them just not understanding because of the accent, but I don't think that's a problem. They're still knowledgeable and they still were helping her. The only thing is when I went to take my daughter and I went to the restroom, it wasn't very presentable.

Our daughter has been in Sylvan for reading and math and it was to close any skill gaps. She was in the third grade for the past year. We wanted to make sure that we closed any gaps sooner rather than later. The private tutor that we use is online, and it's great in some ways, but it also has its limitations. So, we thought it would be best, especially for math, that she has someone one-on-one and in person. We go to the Sparta Sylvan facility. She needed in-person tutoring as well.

My 7-year-old daughter absolutely loves to attend this center. I am so happy and pride how much she learned and progressed on reading and writing. This center motivates the students can earn extra tokens on special days or through special activities. Personally, I love this center. They are texting and reminding for the next session and having meeting with family monthly to report the progress. I will keep my daughter in this center until she graduates from the high school. I trust them so much.

My grandson needed some support and I had gotten good recommendations for Sylvan from people that I trusted. After they did the assessment, they determined that he needed more support in math and reading, which I was concerned about because of the spring testing results from the school. They also determined that he needed more support in math. Sylvan is a wonderful option for children. The instructors are very patient and they are highly qualified teachers that they have in place. So that makes a positive difference for me.

After the fact, I found out my son did not have a good experience with Sylvan tutors/organization. All the while I thought he was getting help and learning how to solve equations, he was not. He pretty much sat there staring at the page wondering how to do the problem that stared back at him. There were three students to a table and Ethan opened his book. He may have been shown the first problem and understood that but as he began to continue and get stuck he scribbled and sat there with a blank in his face.

My husband and I actually used Sylvan when we were in school a long time ago. So, we just naturally went back.

I inherited two grandsons so I have to raise them. My husband and I are too old to be going through all the school curriculum with them again. My younger son said that his son was struggling in reading and he referred us to Eddie at Sylvan. They've been very courteous. Sometimes we can't make it and they give us all the other alternatives rather than for them to just miss it. So I love the place. They always discuss everything that they worked on with the child. It's like teaching my children things in a different way if they don't comprehend it from what the teacher is teaching them. Sylvan is able to take that same math problem and turn it around where my son can comprehend it.

I chose Sylvan because of the location. My child has been focusing on reading for three months because her school said that she needs help. Everything that I’ve had from Sylvan, they’re saying that she’s doing just fine. I haven’t had an actual test to show me any differences, but she seems to like it.

We're super happy with Sylvan Learning. We decided to try it out because one of my friends with a son who has similar problems to our son had him in Sylvan Learning.

The center in Palmyra has been really respectful. They assessed my son and guided me through the process. They sat with me twice, explained everything and answered questions. It's been great. The school offered tutoring, but it wasn't helping my son with the targeted instruction that he needed. With Sylvan, we've seen some differences in his report card. He felt a little more confident. He was in for writing, like text-dependent analysis. That hasn't changed much yet, but his focus improves in school. He started submitting his work on time, which has always been a little hard for him.

My daughter was actually having tutoring done at school four days a week and it was not helping her at all. And a good bit of people told me good things and that their children succeeded in Sylvan. So, we tried it out and we love it. She actually brought her grades up within the first month. She likes it there.

It was convenient to go with Sylvan because they are in my neighborhood. My child is focusing more on reading, and the tutor is fabulous. Since being with them, he has made two grade level advancements. To anyone looking to enroll their child, you have to assess the child. If this is the right program for them, then that is the way to go.

I've known about Sylvan Learning since I was a kid. Signing up with them was fairly straightforward. The facility that we go to is easy to deal with. Everyone’s very friendly, nice. They genuinely care about your children and their learning. They alerted me to switching my daughter's schedule around because she doesn't work well with men, so we've changed her schedule to actually work with just women. I like the fact that they tuned into that.

The Sylvan customer service was excellent. My daughter had several different tutors there and they were great. They go above and beyond to help us. The Sylvan people are so good there. They're more one-on-one with the kids and they actually listen to them, not just the parents.

I was searching for some tutoring programs for my daughter. I reached out to one, but it was about $600. What I didn't like about that program was that the price seemed crazy. Plus, it was online. I want something in person because I'm old school and I believe that children learn more hands-on and face-to-face. When I went to Sylvan, I liked that they help you with the financial thing. You don't have to make payment plans. They don’t take a bunch of money out of pocket every month.

One of our friends in a different state used Sylvan and they recommended them from their daughter using it. We decided to try it out ourselves. My son has IDP, so the school gives him a couple of hours per day. That was the tool we were using, but when we did a parent-teacher conference, we realized that he needed a little bit more so we put him in Sylvan.

Other family members have used Sylvan and had really good experiences, so we knew that they could provide the outcome that we were looking for. We have two children in the program. They've only been doing it a couple of months, and they seem to enjoy going. They come home happy. They don't dread going. It's not going to the park, but they don't huff and puff when they go.

Before enrolling, I looked at a tutor in our area, but my child needed someone to work with who could match his higher learning level. With Sylvan Learning, my experience has been right down the middle. They’re good, but I think they have a lot of students. They gave my son one-on-one attention, and he says that they've helped him, especially when he struggled with certain math problems. I called them up and they changed a couple of his classes to help him.

Sylvan Learning was absolutely fantastic. I reached out and on the first call, I had to leave a message and fill out different types of things. The young lady that called me back actually called me on a Saturday, which I was completely shocked about.

Our son was struggling with reading comprehension in second grade, so we started Sylvan a couple of months ago. I would highly recommend them. It’s a very positive learning environment, and we’ve seen a lot of progress already. Our son enjoys going there. I use their website, and the only thing I would suggest is if they could make it so you could adjust the calendar and make adjustments on the site. That would be great.
