Sylvan Learning Reviews

Somebody recommended Sylvan Learning to us, and my son seems to enjoy it. It's been about a month since he started attending, and he's been doing great.

Sylvan Learning was a better option for me this time around. My son gained more confidence and is not opposed to trying. Before, it would be meltdown and would have nothing to do with it.

They're focusing on Math with my child and the tutor is good. My daughter enjoys going and she's improving in math and it's given her more confidence.

When I did the enrollment, I filled out an application and received information then had an interview and an assessment. The reps had a lot of knowledge and were very professional. I have two children that are attending Sylvan Learning, and they enjoy it. They get one-on-one assistance and sometimes assignments with the iPad. My young son needs a bit more structure and that's because he's four. He reacts differently to different instructors, and Sylvan Learning's staff take turns working with him.

I'm 50 years old and I remember Sylvan from California where I grew up. They helped me in the '80s with math tutoring. People remember how you make them feel. So all the years later, I have my little boy and look where we're at. He just turned seven when he started at Sylvan and at first, he was like, "Oh, no." But then they were so sweet and patient to him. He's reading better now. So that's been a positive for him.

At Sylvan, they care about the students being successful. We enrolled with them online and it was super easy. They called us shortly after and they worked around our schedule. Kristen, the rep we had, was very easy to work with. My daughter focused mainly on Math, but she also did some English. They have really assisted us in the Hallmark upcoming test. They're very responsive and they pay attention to the details that we were requesting.

Sylvan is second to none. They get to the core of everything your child needs. My grandson is somebody that has been through a lot emotionally. He usually doesn't like people and it's very hard for him to trust. But they were able to work with him through all of that and get him on a good track. I'm so happy for him. He's stable now and he does good. We're glad we ran into Sylvan. They need to be on TV with what they do and they need to try to incorporate what they do into the public school system because they know how to reach a child. Even though they have a list of people that they tutor on daily, when they're with your kid, they're with your kid. They make you feel alright about things and that's hard to come by nowadays with everything that goes on in our world. However, it's expensive. I wish he could've stayed, but I can't afford it. If they could cut in prices, it would be a blessing. But they're worth every dime they charge.

We had a friend who had used Sylvan to help their daughter with reading and they enjoyed it. It was easy enrolling with Sylvan. They walked us through everything. They're helpful and knowledgeable. They meet with us every six weeks to go over the stuff that my child's accomplished and what they're gonna work on next. They're going step-by-step through different skills until the skill is mastered then they do the next step. They got my child from having to repeat the fourth grade to ready to go into fifth grade. If you have the finances to do it, then it's definitely 100% worth it.

I have a friend whose son was going to Sylvan and she told me that they were really good. So when my son got the grant, I went there myself. Their teachers were more committed and I saw changes. My son was excelling in terms of reading because he was only taking reading. They make sure they provide every tool necessary for him and was step-by-step understanding him in the areas that he needs strength. They pay more attention to those things and they keep you updated on your child's progress. My son loves Sylvan and we can't wait for him to go back. He feels like he wants to go back not only for reading, but for math as well. I would tell my friends to register their kid at Sylvan and that they would see the difference.

My friend was in Boston and they were using Sylvan’s services for their kids and suggested it to me. In my village, there are four Kumon and Mathnasium but I liked none of those. There is Best Brains too and Sylvan Learning. So, I was looking for it. But somehow, that center was closed as well as the one next to my village. So, I have to go three villages away to get my son into the center. That was an inconvenience, but I wanted to go for Sylvan so I just drove him for two years, for 38 minutes every day, every class.

I went with Sylvan Learning because of a recommendation from a friend who used them, and the enrollment was thorough and good. My son is a teenager, and I can tell that he likes Sylvan Learning 'cause he makes an effort to go. He wants to do well. He is getting help for the ACT test and his score has gone up, which is a good sign. Overall, Sylvan Learning has been helpful. I mentioned to a family friend that it has certainly helped my son and I highly recommend it. They then enrolled for the ACT test as well.

Going through the school didn’t work out very well for my daughter. Sylvan is way better and she likes it. She understood things when she was frustrated with Math before. And now, she gets it. She comes home and she’s not frustrated. She’s able to do her work. Sylvan has had a very positive impact on my child. She doesn't lock down like she did before. She would shut down and start crying whenever it was time to do her homework but now, she could do it.

The enrollment process was easy and accessible. They're focusing on mathematics and reading and I've seen improvements in my child. He enjoys this experience and said it helped him a lot in his classwork.

Sylvan has helped my kid a lot and it has improved their learning skills. They love the teachers and they always look forward to going to the tutor.

They're doing a great job. However, my child is not that excited about going because it seems like more school. But she likes it when she's there. They treat her very well. She's never complained about them not treating her properly. I would highly recommend them ‘cause it's doing a lot for my daughter and they do a lot for kids. It's more on the expensive side. But you get what you pay for.

It was an easy experience enrolling with Sylvan. We've been a member for a couple of years and my son enjoys the tutoring and the teacher as well. They know what they're doing and are very experienced. They take their time with the child and explore every possible way to help them. My son's been doing better in his subjects.

Our experience with Sylvan was really good. They were always responding when I needed them to. They were always okay with me rescheduling. So, the customer service was excellent. I plan on going back for my daughter. They had smaller groups at Sylvan. So, it was a lot easier for her to focus. I could tell the difference on her grades and her report cards. Even us doing homework together at home, I can tell from the understanding. Her state exams started to go up. She reached grade level for her reading.

We have done private tutoring and Kumon. But Sylvan has been the best so far for us, as far as timing, ease-wise, and performance-wise. Enrolling with them is super easy and they're always very responsive. They're effective and easy to work with. Right now, we're focused on reading, then we're going to do math and test prep here in a little bit. The kids really enjoy being with the tutors, which is helpful.

We did Kumon before and Sylvan is much better and more hands on. It helped my son on the subject matter that we were focusing on. I would recommend Sylvan Learning.

I have two kids and Sylvan is helping one of them with the SAT, while they helped the other one get caught up with his reading. So far, the service has been excellent. My daughter's math tutor who is doing the SAT with her breaks things down where she understands them, and I love that. Going to Sylvan Learning is a little expensive, but it's worth it at the end because you're going to see results.

My children have enjoyed the time there at Sylvan Learning. They were responsive and provided a professional and great follow-up and service.

Sylvan is one of the most amazing program that you can take your kids to. I highly recommend Sylvan. My kids did reading and math. They would tell me about different coins and how they subtract them and how to count. They were so excited about that. They would always ask me stuff. They tested me because of what they were learning.

Sylvan is hurting my pocket but my son was struggling. The teacher that he had wasn’t right there. My husband and I were frustrated and we didn't know what to do at home. We were all sitting there, crying because we didn't know how to break the apples for him to understand multiplication and division. So, I started doing research and we came across Sylvan. I went there when I was young so I called them. My son shuts down when he doesn’t understand. He doesn't wanna talk about it. But right now, he’s happy. He goes four days a week and on a Friday, he wanna go. He says the teachers at Sylvan are great. They explain to him everything and he understands them the way they're teaching him. He likes it. So that makes me happy.

Sylvan has been great. They've been very responsive in helping our daughter. She's doing Reading and she's doing better. I just feel like it's very expensive. It's $60 an hour and we have to do it two hours a week minimum. So, it adds up really quickly.

Enrolling with Sylvan was good. We used them before as well. My child have been doing Math and Reading with them for 2 months now and it's been positive. Sylvan does good tutoring sessions.

My son likes Sylvan. He enjoys it, and he understands stuff. Getting him in was easy because it was some type of program that was done through his school, and all I had to do was register him. I didn't have to make any payments. I do tap in their website every now and then just to check on the status of his learning. The only thing is I don't know how to read the bar graph that they have set up. I had to ask them what it means because it's in different colors and numbers. I confused with that. Other than that, Sylvan stays in contact with you.

My daughter takes tutoring from Sylvan. She's been going twice a week since February, but we took the summer off. And she'll go back in August. She's in first grade and she's done very well. She's made a lot of improvement and she loves her tutor. She's also gone up 47% in reading. Sylvan follows up at the end of each tutoring session, on what they covered and how she was doing. They reassess her every so often to see if they need to redirect their focus. We've had a very positive experience in all aspects. I would recommend them for anyone's kids.

Sylvan's a busy place. There's a lot going on ‘cause they have a lot of people. But my daughter was very happy. She went in for 2 months for the SAT prep. It was hard because they were touching on subjects that she didn't know or hadn't seen. The first part of it seemed a review. The second, the middle and the end parts became a lot harder as she had to sit down, learn and practice. We had our PSAT practice test with her school. Then they did an actual SAT practice test with her. They were able to pin down what areas she was struggling with. Her program was based on the areas that she missed. She did well on her test. She went from a 950 to an 1,100. Sylvan did their job. The price is high. It's $85 an hour. But it's definitely worth the money. You'll see results. I did a different tutoring service, and it was pricier and not as good. Sylvan's customer service is excellent as well. The proctor is nice and very understanding.

I went to Sylvan when I was a kid and now my daughter goes there for Reading. She's gained confidence and more willing to read at home. She was able to build some of the previous skills that she was missing so that she could move along with her reading level. Sylvan has worked for my child. She's enjoyed it and is excited to go and do it. If others have a child that's struggling, then Sylvan would be worth trying.

My son just finished kindergarten, and we noticed that he was behind. We have two other kids who are older than him and a son who is younger than him. We've never had a situation where our kids are academically showing signs of being behind, so we were initially trying to get him caught up with his peers. We went with Sylvan and it was an easy process with them. The people that we're working with there in Abilene are super friendly. My husband and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. They've explained everything to us. We have Zoom calls periodically to talk about our son's progress, and it makes us feel they're invested. We've also talked about having my son's school RDI person on the calls too once school starts back again because we're seeing some differences from what the school is seeing to what Sylvan’s seeing. That way, we can all be on the same page to help him.

My daughter was in speech and occupational therapy, and they were doing a lot of literacy type stuff with her. She was in that for six years. It's been great with Sylvan and I would recommend them. The people are very friendly. They do the tutoring on iPad. They have games or they read a paragraph and answer questions. If your child is struggling with Reading and Math, Sylvan is the place to go. My youngest can be a little temperamental at times but they seem to enjoy it.

Enrolling with Sylvan was good experience and I would recommend them. They're very helpful and kind. My daughter did English and Reading and went through different seasons, one summer, and when she was in kindergarten. I like their portal login. I usually get a link in the messages when I confirm her tutoring session and it's nice to have that online access, too. If she gets so many tokens or tickets, she can pick a price. I'm hoping she will keep growing more of an interest and a desire to improving her reading. A few of my friends utilize Sylvan and some doctor's kids as well attended. They're all happy.

I would recommend Sylvan Learning to everyone. It helps great in Reading and Math because every time my granddaughter went, it would be 100.

Sylvan Learning has been a great resource for my son in helping him learn and develop. They have been more than accommodating as far as helping him develop educationally. Everyone has been more than happy to help. They got a great personality. And you can tell that they're all interested to see the children develop. Awesome experience. I targeted Reading and Writing being that my son's grades were subpar in those areas. Based off my son's NWEA scores he recently received, they have improved. There's a correlation between when he was going to Sylvan and when he got his scores back versus the previous year.

Sylvan Learning was near my home and affordable. Also, enrolling was quick. They explained the process. My child went from February through May. There’s an improvement. It worked.

We've only been doing Sylvan for about a month and a half and my only concern is that I don't know what my child is learning. We have a progress report but I need more information. She’s doing Reading and I can’t see a difference. It's pre-kindergarten to kindergarten, so it's letters and it’s hard to gauge.

My 8 year old daughter was struggling in 2nd grade due to grief and sicknesses. Once I put her in Sylvan during the 2nd semester at school her understanding grew and her grades began to climb. For the 1st time in the whole school year she finally made the AB honor roll and she received the BUG award (Bring Up Grade). I'm so thankful for Sylvan for a job well done.

Sylvan Learning has been awesome. Everyone's great when I go there, and my daughter loves the lady that helps her. She was bored yesterday and said, "I wish I had Sylvan today." She wants to go there when it's not even scheduled. It's good that she loves it. There was another little girl in her class that I'm friends with her mom, and I mentioned to do Sylvan instead of summer school. It is a little expensive though. This summer, I cut down to one day a week because of that, plus I have to pay for summer care.

If your child is struggling in any area and you are looking for a difference, sign up with Sylvan Learning Centers. It is not cheap, but it is worth every dime. It is much better, more hands-on, smaller setting. So, my son was able to focus better. Also, the tutors do wonderfully. Some of them are older, so they take a little time. All of them are in education in some kind of way. They're hands-on and helpful. They help rein it in for my son. He has mastered a ton of skills since he has been there. He enjoys it. We do every Wednesday and Saturday. When children get home from school, they just wanna veg out. But once my son came from Sylvan, I could tell he learned something. He would be more plugged in and more engaged when he would come home. I could tell that he was stimulated when he was there.

My son was struggling a little bit in school and I got him registered because I used Sylvan in Columbia before as well. But he did very good. The teachers there were wonderful. I just moved and the only thing that I didn't wanna move and leave was Sylvan, which sounds crazy. I wish they had one here in Huntsville, Madison. With Sylvan, my son was able to meet with the teachers. Whereas with Kumon, they give the kids these booklets and you just have to sit with them at home and make sure they do them. It's very repetitious and not effective. It was probably a big waste of $250 a month. I paid Sylvan more but you got the one-on-one with the teachers.

My kids had a good experience at Sylvan. The instructors were good. My kids improved somewhat. There's still a lot of room for improvement. But they understood some of the concepts a little bit better. We'll use them if needed in future still.

They help my child with chemistry and math. He's been getting help with his homework and he has improved on his test scores since then. He also likes his tutor. But it's a little expensive.

I would recommend Sylvan. My child was tutored in Math and ELA and it was a very positive experience. His self-confidence has improved and it was what got him turned around. James, my son, is my wife's nephew. We had a kinship guardian on him when he was four years old and he is now 12. Almost five years ago, my wife passed away, and James wanted to stay with me, and I had to fight his mother and all my in-laws. So he was put through the wringer. We had to adopt him and it was such a long process. He was worn down mentally at the end of all this. So Sylvan was almost like a wake-up call. The director of the location that I'm dealing with knew the ins and outs of the educational process from dealing with the different districts and she was very helpful in getting me to decipher what my district was about to do to me, which is extremely unfair. The DCP&P would be involved and I did not wanna go that route at all.

Everybody there at Sylvan Learning Centers was very nice. When we met the center director, I had confidence in her because of the way she handled herself and spoke about their programs. The tutor gave him a lot of confidence in being able to do Math. We were coming from a not awesome school situation. And we found ourselves being home schooled suddenly. So as a transition from school to home school, filling in the gaps that we had and figuring out what we needed to do. I'm also a teacher, and having that data collection and knowing that you're on the right track is helpful. I've had a couple of other families that have gone and had just progress monitoring type stuff that it's very helpful for home school moms for that. It was a very positive experience.

As soon as I sent the email out with my information, a lady from Sylvan Learning Centers called. I sent the email less than an hour when she called. She was thorough. She asked me a lot of important information, especially about the personality Melody has. That was a big thing. Because she tried to see how my daughter has learned. It was very detailed. I love the fact that it was a lot of information. It was very thorough and helpful. I was at my wit's end. The lady was very good with enrollment. I felt like it was about Melody with the whole enrollment. It was focused on her, especially with her knowing her personality.

We got a voucher through the state and we did Varsity Tutors. It wasn’t very well explained to us what we could utilize with the services or with that voucher. Varsity Tutors had us doing one hour a week for my son and it was virtual whereas Sylvan is in-person and interactive. Plus, there were up to four hours a week or 24 hours in each session that we could use. They were flexible around our work and school schedules.

Sylvan strives to help the children. Initially, the tutor focused on Reading, English and Math but in high school, we utilized the homework where they helped my child with whatever he needed to work on and we built a strategy on what to work with. There were some options for college students to come to the high school and tutoring on certain days. So we split up everything that my child needed between the high school and Sylvan. He was getting four days but he was doing two days a week at Sylvan. He doesn't like going because it's extra work but it encourages him. He has an IEP so he strives to be on the same plane as the other children. It gives him more confidence knowing that he’s keeping up with his classmates. Timewise, he would rather do other things with that hour. But he sees the final outcome as being a positive.

My son loves Sylvan. He's engaged. When he leaves there, he's always excited about what he learned and what he earned. He feels like he's doing better in class. It gives him more confidence. He picks up books and reads them now without me having to ask him. The tutor and my son focus on Math but they also do Reading, Writing and Comprehension. My son sits at a table with a couple of other children and they work on different projects. They take speed tests. Yesterday, they were doing a comprehension test to see where he's at with what Sylvan is teaching him. In the short period of time he's been there, he went from a second-grade comprehension to grade level and now, they're working on getting him up to fifth grade. And he's only in the fourth grade. It was easy enrolling in Sylvan but it is expensive. It’s out of reach for a lot of people and I wouldn't have been able to afford it. My father is paying for it.

We started out for an hour. Now that it's summer, we had the option of doing two hours and my child was like, "Yeah, I wanna do it." He did not kick and scream about it. He enjoys going. He's primarily on reading and writing, but we're gonna be adding math to the mix too. It's great. If you can afford it, it's a really good option. When I called customer service, somehow the phone got ported to another location, but they still helped me and knew who I was talking about. I felt like the branches were very integrated, so it didn't matter which one I called.

Our experience with Sylvan has been amazing. Sylvan was the first one that I tapped into online and Steve from the center immediately called me and made it very easy to follow. I follow her dashboard online and I see what she's mastered, what's coming up and what's in process. It's very friendly in that regard. The results that my daughter has had from March to date are very noticeable in school. Teachers are saying it's been a 360. It's made her much more confident and I feel empowered by that.

My child had a very good experience with Sylvan Learning. The enrollment process was very easy. The tutors were well-qualified as well. Sylvan offers a very good ACT prep course if others are looking for one.

Their curriculum is the best. It's a little bit more expensive than others, but the results seem consistent. They're good and they have strong communication, too.

So far, our experience with Sylvan has been fantastic. Our child absolutely loves going and it's been very encouraging as far as her progress and learning to read and her general skills with attacking tasks at school. Where we are right now, the big focus has been reading structure and phonics and the basics, to get her a little bit on grade level and above. She talks about how much fun she had and what she learned and then about her points. They have a point system. My child is very incentivized by prizes. She's winning all of it. Anything that creates a structure for her to feel like she's winning or getting ahead, she likes it. They're great, super responsive, on top of it and very accommodating.

They're helping my granddaughter in reading and math. When Kennedy has homework that needs to be done, they focus on the homework. If she doesn't have homework, they focus on trying to improve her skills in those areas. They're awesome. The tutors themselves work well with Kennedy. They're a lot more patient with her than I would be. When John calls me with reports, he's very thorough.

I love our experience with Sylvan. They helped my child in Math and English. Our overall learning experience was good.

Every child could benefit from Sylvan, especially anybody who is struggling. Whenever I hear any of my friends' kids struggling and are not doing well, I tell them to take them to Sylvan. They're really nice. I don't think that my son's loving what he's doing, but we're seeing an improvement in the gap. We're trying to get him prepared for high school so this is great for him.

Sylvan is near us. My son is doing English because his level got below his average. Before, it was high but he's not practicing as well. The first assessment was bad. But the second assessment, they told me he's at his third level, and he may be at the mid now of the third level. Mainly, he's improving. He is a good learner. The problem is he doesn't focus all the time. So, he always needs someone to push him and to make him work. Whenever he's not willing to work, he gets bad grades. My son is loving the teacher. They are always giving their feedback and they are helpful. I'm happy with them. I feel that they are good. My son is able to work with them, and they are nice.

Sylvan designed a program to figure out where my son's level of understanding was with algebra. It looks like they've taken him back to the very, very beginning. This is our second month and they're still at pre-algebra. So, it's not going along very fast. But he said it's something to do with the way that this program is set up. My son needs to do a couple of things and then they test him. If you don't do well on that test, then it bumps you back. So it keeps bumping back and bumping back. But there's a second way to do it, and that is what they started last week. So I'm hoping that it maybe goes along a little quicker. But I have nothing against the tutor. It's just the way the program is designed.

I went to Sylvan when I was a kid. So when my son needed tutoring, I signed him up there. He's doing math now. His math grade has improved quite a bit since he started. He likes Sylvan. Customer service has been great. Everybody's very positive and nice. It's been a good experience for us overall and I would recommend Sylvan.

I like Sylvan Learning Centers. I reached out to them. They did an assessment. They told me where my son was. He was behind. He has been going there every Saturday, because we live so far from the closest center, for eight weeks now. My son loves it. He likes that it would be on his own pace but he would still get his work done. That's a big thing for kids. The classroom setting is harder. My son would rather do tutoring Monday through Friday than to be in a classroom. He admires it a lot. I have seen improvement, especially with the speed of my son’s his reading. And Sylvan will do a reevaluation to see where he's at in July. That's exciting too. I appreciate the staff that are there. They work with me. Even with my payments, they've been patient with me.

Sylvan was great. My kid did different things. They had a bunch of STEM activities and team-building and different types of science-focused activities and experiments. My kid had a lot of fun. She loved it. She learned about gravity and different things about rocks and minerals. They learned a bunch of things. The tutors were professional, knowledgeable, and nice. But Sylvan could have shared upcoming classes and events a little bit better. They're a little bit vague on that. Other than that, I highly recommend them.

Sylvan Learning Centers is a great tool to use to get your children set up if they're behind. My child is more focused and a lot better.

The tutor focuses on Math and Reading for my child. Sylvan has gone above and beyond to accommodate and we’re seeing fantastic results.

The governor is helping people to get tutored for free and when I chose Sylvan versus the other companies that contract with the State of Arizona, they don't offer it online or at home. They offered it in person in school, which makes it easy as far as convenience. If you're going in person, there's always a tutor there. Also, their tutors have a bachelor's degree at the very minimum and they have a license in teaching. They are very friendly and the one we go to is very homely. It's very unthreatening and class is very well decorated.

Our experience with Sylvan was fine. They helped my child in Math. I thought it was gonna be one-on-one, but it was more like she was helping other people with my daughter. Others should try it, too.

My child did math and reading with Sylvan. He needed help with phonological awareness because he had a bit of a speech issue. He missed a lot of schoolwork. It was a good experience with Sylvan. All the teachers and everybody in there were great and supportive.

When I made the decision to go to Sylvan to seek outside assistance for my son, they have been extremely helpful as far as breaking down my son's IEP in a more understandable way versus the school. They have really pointed out a lot of gaps as to where the school has failed him and the school's lack of ability to accommodate my son has been a little disturbing. Sylvan has helped bridge those gaps and I wish we have taken that road sooner. Things would have been much better long-term for my son. Unfortunately, he's a junior in high school, so we're playing severe catch-up. But Sylvan's been a huge help in his academic confidence, making him a little bit more of a better student, and making him able to understand the work and where he was missing some crucial learning gaps.

My experience with Sylvan has been good. My children love it. They like their tutors. I also love the director of the facility, Jewel and overall, they're doing well. They're hands-on and they understand the needs of the child. It's pricey, but I think it's worth it.

My son has only been on Sylvan's program for a couple of months. They did an assessment and they are working on him with lessons, taking him back to where his competency level is and working from there forward, and he is improving little by little. Overall, he is doing better. He's a reluctant learner. But he has started saying that going to reading tutor is not so bad, which is a good thing for him. He has improved on his spelling tests and his reading comprehension test at school. Sylvan is definitely worth the expense and the effort if someone is having reading problems because they have a good program. And it's effective. Iit is pricey. But to learn to read, it's worth it. The teachers and the administrator at Sylvan are really kind and very personable. They make my son feel like he's the cool kid coming into class. So it's a very welcoming atmosphere.

Sylvan Learning is doing a very good job. My daughter is doing math, and she likes the program. I wish they would do more help with homework. They only focus on homework for the first 15 minutes. But she's learning. It's given her confidence back. It's been a good experience. They've been very personable, very friendly, and willing to help. Going with Sylvan is worth the money to get your kids in because my daughter has grown about four grade levels in two months.

The tutor focused on Pre-Algebra for my daughter and she enjoyed it. I was thinking that she wouldn’t like going to extra school but Sylvan gave her a lot of confidence, which helped her a lot with everything. I would recommend it. Their customer service was great.

We're doing Reading and Writing with Sylvan and we’ve seen significant improvement. We've only been with them for two months now and my child seems to be very engaged. Normally, with extracurricular activities, he usually protests or pouts or has difficulty going. He never protests with Sylvan. He's always in a good mood and runs in. Sylvan has a store where you earn points. It's all gamified. On the first day, when he did the assessment, he picked out the toy he wanted and he's been eagerly working towards it and counting his points every single day. That helps keep him motivated. It's fun for him and he's happy with it.

We’re doing all the subject areas in Sylvan but Reading and Writing are the top things right now. My daughter has improved, especially within a month. She does the big package, which is 16 hours a month. It’s been a great experience. We're still working on motivation but other than that, the grades and confidence are up. So that's a big one. Her grades have gone up a whole grade level so I'm proud of her. People are friendly at Sylvan and make it easy. It’s a fun atmosphere and the incentives are good for the kids. People should do it.

Sylvan has helped with Reading and my daughter did well. I like that. I was surprised at her doing as well as she did. She's in 4th grade and doing 5th-grade Reading. Sylvan would be worth people’s while for Reading. But with Math, they are doing good but my daughter is just not catching up with that. She's doing 2nd-grade Math. She started in February and she’s not progressing too much. But it’s not because Sylvan is not teaching her. She has a problem. I’ve been taking her to the therapist.

My son has been going to Sylvan for a month and he likes it. He enjoys and looks forward to going. But it's pretty expensive.

Sylvan has its ducks in a row a little better. They seem to know what they're doing a little more and they're not just guessing day to day. They have a plan. My son is doing math with them. They tell me that he has mastered five skills. He's only in third grade, so I'm hoping that this school year, he'll be a little more caught up with his peers. I didn't expect the world to be completely changed over the course of two months, but he is enjoying going to Sylvan. He comes home with a more positive attitude about math, which is very important.

We've been doing the tutorial with Sylvan since March and she seems more confident with her reading. Before, she would just look at the word and try to start a conversation about something else and not read the word at all. So, now, she at least tries. And her teacher has noticed a difference as well in her willingness to read in class. She’s getting the help that she needs so she can be a stronger reader. I can tell the difference in her. Sylvan gives us updates but I don't know what's going on inside of the center. I'm more of a visual person, so I would like to see what they do in the session and how the students are learning. When I get her home, she reads some words and it seems like it's going smoother. But I was curious to know what they were talking about and how it was being taught to her. Sylvan costs a lot of money but it's worth it.

Sylvan is expensive but it's worth it. My child loves it and has way more confidence now with reading. She doesn't get frustrated as quickly when she's reading now.

My son needed help with reading and Sylvan was right where we live and it was very available. They can focus in the areas that the kids need and they are very in line with the curriculum at the schools. Since he started to do it, he improved a lot and did a good job on reading.

I used to attend Sylvan for a very short amount of time when I was younger and when my kid needed help, I kind of reached back out to what I know. My son likes going because they give out tokens. He bought two shirts of different colors and wears it every single time and says he loves it. He needed help with reading, writing, and math and they did the assessments. We tested okay for math so Gail, the head honcho over there, created a plan to where we're gonna work on reading and writing. When he's made progress with that, we'll go over to math and we'll incorporate math within our plan too. Also, I can communicate with the staff at the Sylvan in Tacoma and they are very responsive, in a timely manner too, which is awesome. They work well with our schedule so if we can't make it for the day or I need to switch a date, they are very accommodating. They're very helpful and they'll work with you.

I like Sylvan and they have been very helpful. They're doing Reading with my child. She likes going to Sylvan.

Our experience with Sylvan has been excellent. I'm very pleased and happy with them. They're doing an excellent job with my granddaughter and she has shown a big improvement. The one we go to is a wonderful center. The staff is great working with the children. They give the kids incentives, like they do with their shirts, they give coins or tokens. They make it fun and interesting. She loves going there.

We're doing Math and English with Sylvan, like homework help. Our experience with them has been positive.

We're doing reading with Sylvan because that's my child's weakest area. We're gonna try to go into math this summer. He's reading better now. He knows how to sound out his words. He's trying. At least he's having a little bit more confidence. I can feel that. He's improving. I'll always recommend them.

The communication with the tutor is good and my child enjoys Sylvan. If they have to go somewhere, they've always come back with a positive experience. The cost is a lot. You wish you could be able to do the max amount of sessions to get the results sooner from the more frequent touch points but it's expensive. Also, I wish they had more hours available. We've been able to make it work but it'd be nice if it was more hours because they're not open on Mondays or Fridays. The quality is good, though, and they work with us really well.

There's a lot of one-on-one and independent work with my daughter, mostly one-on-one. They're going over all the basics with reading that she's been struggling with and understanding. She loves Sylvan and she has already made a significant progress in a couple months. Also, they're very professional, really good at communication, which is a huge thing for me, and flexible. If I can't take her there, they're able to work something out with me. The only downfall is people that cannot afford it are gonna be struggling. It costs an arm and a leg.

Sylvan is reliable and the schedule is flexible. I like the center, especially the person who I talked to to make the scheduling. That's the best part. My kid is a high schooler so whenever they have a question, I just arrange a session.

My nephew needed help in reading and math, so I contacted Sylvan. He was at a level one when he started with them and now, he's almost up to a level five. It was expensive but he needed it.

Sylvan is doing wonders and I love it. It was very easy to sign up with them. We did a pretest for my son and after that, we knew exactly where he stood. Then all we had to do was sign paperwork. They gave me a lot of background about Sylvan, how long they were open, how many people they helped, and how they came out on top. Then they gave me a price range of what I could afford and what I couldn't. And they really helped me out with it.

I love Sylvan. It's expensive, but my son is making great improvements. He's doing Math and Reading.

Sylvan Learning Centers has proven to work where the school did not. My kids have both grown so much over the last year that the school even reached out to us and asked us what they were doing to gain that much growth. When I call Sylvan to ask them if my kids could come another day instead, they work with us because of our schedules. I've already recommended Sylvan to six other people. It's the best choice I've made for my kids for their future.

My kid is doing reading at Sylvan and he's made an improvement right away. They're great. I asked him how it went and he would always says it was good.

They're focusing on Reading, Writing, and Spelling with my child. They have a very open door policy with talking to the directors. If I ask them how my child is doing and that I need to see a assessment, they send me an email of the assessment, which is pretty good and helpful. The only thing is we could have something for when my child does the computer-based assessment in the office or reading, something to go over during the week with her that I can see what she's doing so that if there's anything I can help her on my end.

My son is going over Algebra 1 at Sylvan. I feel like his confidence has gotten better. He still needs a little bit of help with his math, but I feel like I do not have to repeat everything as much as I need to. His grades in math have improved. He's not as frustrated with it because he knows he has the extra help on Saturdays. They were also supposed to help get him on age level with as far as his math skills go all together, but he's still a little bit behind there, but fundamentally, certain things that used to be like, “Wait a minute. I don't know how to do this” has gotten better.

Go to Sylvan Learning Centers if your child needs help with their stuff. I felt very confident about them. My child liked them a lot. He thinks the teachers are very nice and knowledgeable. And he's learning a lot. I tell people to go there.

I looked at their pricing and their availability and it worked with what we were looking for. Signing up was super easy and relatively painless and them making sure that we knew all the pricing and all the information beforehand was awesome. I would recommend Sylvan highly if someone's child is struggling in any field.

My daughter's been going to Sylvan all year and everything's been good. I'm concerned about her progress in Reading but her Math seems to be picking up quickly. It doesn't seem like she has a steady tutor so I don't know if Sylvan is on course of knowing what her weaknesses are or if they're just throwing her in and trying to teach her something. So, I'm curious about that.

Our child is learning English at Sylvan. She's still struggling but there is some improvement after three and a half months with them. She likes going to Sylvan and she goes twice a week. It's very expensive but I would tell my friends to go there.

My son has been pretty disenfranchised with school since he was young. We were told that there was no learning disability, it was just a lack of interest. He'd fallen behind in his academics, so we had him in speech, reading and other courses at school. We even held him back a year when he was younger. When we got a progress report from the school, they said that some of his other stuff was higher but he was reading at an early third grade level. That got me to look at Sylvan and we bought 50 hours to start out with.

Sylvan has been good so far. My daughter likes them and I do as well. She's doing great things in it and I see the improvement. She was doing reading with them and now she's doing writing. They test her then tell me what the score is, her strength, her weakness, and what they will work on. They're there if I need them. They have an open door policy where we can come in and the parents can be talked to if something needs to be addressed.

I was looking for a better place to put my son to improve his English. I liked the way Sylvan explained their program. I enrolled and we've been with them for a year and a half now. We are seeing great progress in him because he has improved a lot in terms of comprehension.

Our experience with Sylvan has been very good. They help my child with learning the new material the school doesn't cover. They're focusing on Math and English. They're very supportive. They do a monthly meeting with us. They give us updates on how the kids are doing.

Our experience with Sylvan has been great. My child's really responding to their approach and their technique. She loves to go. It's working for us. Others should give it a try.

Sylvan offers a variety of different choices and teaches everything for all ages. They're excellent. My daughter was able to go to the fourth grade because of them. In January, the school told me, “If we don't do something, she's not gonna pass.” That was when I enrolled her in Sylvan. They said, "We're gonna do our best to make her catch up." She pushed and they pushed with her. She did great and passed. I'm very pleased. My daughter loves Sylvan. She finds it fun. I speak with Ben and Erin and they respond promptly. Any time my daughter was sick or had to call out, they were good with filling her in so that I could do make-ups. They've been good on communications and tell me how she's been doing.

My daughter was getting extra education with a program they have at school but I did not see progress. Prior to Covid, she was struggling in Math and Reading and remote learning increased the gap in her education. On top of that, I divorced her father so that meant that she had an inconsistent nightly routine. She is 13 so she doesn’t like anything but she likes the tutor that she works with at Sylvan. She has limited availability but she is the only Math tutor in the center that I take my daughter to. I would recommend the program because I see that in some areas, it’s working. However, my child is resistant so I would not negatively impact Sylvan based on my daughter's responses.

Our experience with Sylvan has been going great. My child loves it. The tutor is great with her. She is the best. She's doing really well with her. And Ariel loves her, too. Ariel is more active and she likes to move around a lot. She's good with getting her grounded and sitting down and doing her work.

Initially, the focus of Sylvan was on reading and writing because my son was a bit behind on his reading level. But since then, we've incorporated math because he's growing up a little bit later and sometimes, he's a little bit behind. He's improved greatly. He's definitely already caught up to his grade level and he's still reading every day without any issues. Sylvan definitely helped overall. He also enjoys going over there. We used to go four times a week. But they cut it back down to two because he was progressing so well. It was a very positive experience. I would recommend them to anybody who needs help with their children in terms of development.

Sylvan changed owners midway through and I wasn't pleased too much about that, but the experience has been good. I like that they are organized. My son is getting the Math tutoring and he's been with them in grade 4th and 5th.

My child started with reading at Sylvan and she has improved tremendously with the reading to where we could focus on math. And now math is caught up as well and she's more confident in her studies. Sylvan has been awesome. If I have any questions, they're always answered. And they work with our schedules. The price is also what I expected for the service that we get.

I'm glad that I took my son to Sylvan. He has a new excitement about reading and he's improving. He masters 15 skills every month. They said they'd like to see 10 skills mastered and he has exceeded that. They do monthly meetings with the parents and we go over the present levels and what they're going to work on. They ask for any suggestions as well. They offered for him to work with a certain tutor but he doesn't mind with working with multiple ones. He likes all of them. I'm proud and appreciative of the staff. They're friendly at the Greenville location. If you wanna see success and academic achievements, take your child to Sylvan. They have an effective and a welcoming environment. It is pricey but it's worth it. They offer affordable payments for people and I like that part of it.

Sylvan is one of the very few that has a tutor who's reliable. The manager talked me through the program, who would be tutoring for chemistry and the days and times. It was a good fit for my daughter who's taking a UDub chemistry course. Enrolling with Sylvan was extremely easy. They're thorough, very communicative and clear as far as what the expectations were from their end and our end. They're very good about emailing, especially if the tutor, all of a sudden, has to cancel for some reason. Sylvan Learning is a good place. We've had a great experience because of the people we've worked with. Our son had gone to Mathnasium and I was thinking if he ever needs help again, we might have him go to Sylvan because their prices are a lot more reasonable there.

My daughter had used Sylvan 12 years ago, and I have two smaller children now, so I figured, “Let me go back to them and see.” I had a very good, positive experience 12 years ago. This time, one child does reading, and the other child does math. They have improved drastically and their confidence has been built because they're more comfortable with the subject. My daughter's already reading and my son feels more knowledgeable and comfortable doing the mathematical equations. They're very happy in Sylvan. They enjoy it very much. It's a very encouraging and comfortable environment to learn. I wish I could bring them a little bit more, but my work schedule doesn't allow it. Sylvan's customer service team is always welcoming. They've been great from day one. They're all very professional.

Sylvan is great and I would recommend them. My son has shown a lot of growth in reading and math. He was on a low level and he improved that within a short time.

Our experience with Sylvan has been great. I looked at some other ones and I felt like they were more hands-on and private with the child. The coordinator where my daughter goes is marvelous and excellent.

Our experience with Sylvan has been good. My daughter feels she's progressed a little bit since she's been there. She's been struggling with math. She's been doing a lot better than she was at the beginning of the school year. I like the vibe of the director of the specific one we go to. She seemed nice. I had an appointment to go check out another place. I just never made it to the appointment. Once my daughter started at Sylvan, she just said she liked it. So I kept her there. Right away, I asked her, "How was the teacher? Were they nice? Did they have good energy? Were they patient?" And there's never been anything negative said.

I like Sylvan because they do everything on-site. There's no homework. They don't take anything home to work at home. And my son has trouble working at home. So ever since he started going to Sylvan, he's improved dramatically. His test scores have gone up. But in the beginning, I had trouble with him going inside, and they would come out and talk to him and encourage him to go in. Then they would encourage him to tell me what he did that day in a positive way. I also get a call from the director to let me know where he's at or if he's moved forward to the next level.

My youngest son went to Sylvan from the fourth to the sixth grade and now, I have my great granddaughter with them. I felt that it would be beneficial for her because I know how they work. They give me updates and let me know how she's doing and she's doing good. They call to get my opinion on what I think and how the process is going. She seems to be doing well and they keep me posted as to what they see in her and dealing with her on a one-on-one. I'm very pleased with that.

We're happy with the way our daughter has been learning at Sylvan. She has improved a lot in her tutoring. I thought she was gonna be exhausted and tired of learning, but no. She interacts and doesn't get bored. She loves it.

I went to Sylvan back in the 80s and now my daughter goes there. The cost is rather high but it's good stuff. It's helped her improve her grades. It's doing what it's supposed to be doing. There's very good communication from the person who runs the place. My daughter is 16 and she didn't go a couple of times. The lady was right on it. She called me and let me know.

My kids are very happy with Sylvan. They like to go there. The tutors are great. The Sylvan staff went over where we started, where we're at, and where we need to be. Sylvan is a nice place to go to. Our experience has all been pleasant.

My son is doing Biology, Math and English at Sylvan. We took a tour of the place and the manager was amazing. She really sold us on it and it was really what we were looking for for our son. We were focusing on our son's missing assignments. So, it became like a dedicated time where he could get these done and get them turned in. We've really seen an increase in assignments that have been turned in since then. Sylvan is a little pricey, but it's worth it. I like that they'll tailor the program to their students. My son needed help with turning things in, but if another child was struggling with concept, they have tutors right there to do that. They're really willing to help do whatever the kids need.

Sylvan's staff is very great. They work with you. I like how accommodating they are, how easy to change the schedule, and they're open and honest with the pricing. Sylvan got back with me the quickest regarding my tutoring and when I talked to the director and another individual there, they gave me a lot of information that I was looking for and answered all my questions. I did ask a question about gentrification versus young folks tutoring the kids versus older folks. They were very honest and open and said that most of their crowd were older, which I prefer versus younger folks. Their attention focus is not really that great when you go with other tutoring resources. I like working with veteran teachers. They did explain to me that most of their staff is either retired or active teachers, and most of them were middle age.

We live in Ohio and Ohio offered an ACE scholarship. It's for afterschool programs and enrichment after COVID to get children tutoring, music lessons -- things they had missed while they were doing online school. Sylvan was one of the providers and we chose to use our scholarship for that. My child has done about 25 hours of tutoring and he's mastered 20 lessons. He's doing great and he likes the learning experience. He looks forward to it every week and he has a tutor that he really likes. He does it online so he can sit up in his room and he doesn't complain about it. When our scholarship runs out, we plan on continuing the program and paying for it ourselves because it is a good and valuable program.

Sylvan Learning has been great, and I like the tutors. They're good.

I wish Sylvan Learning was not as expensive, but that's the price of tutoring. Bianca, the person from there, has been great, and the tutors have been really good people that my daughter can look up to 'cause they mostly have been students. The first time we went was to help her get adjusted to math in middle school. The second time was when she was struggling, which was her second year in middle school.

So far, Sylvan has been good. We've only been there maybe about a month and a half. We went there because of my daughter's standardized testing scores with reading. I did check out another local competitor but I didn't like the feel of how they do things. I used Sylvan myself as a kid so know what they're about and how they work, so I had something to go on. I love it. They're doing a great job. We're seeing improvement and I'm hoping that it continues that way. I love the team there. I love the center manager there. I love the other two that work with the teachers. They have been really great. Their flexibility is wonderful. They've worked around my daughter's school activities.

Sylvan's customer service is great. Every time I reach out, I end up getting to talk to the owner himself. My child is doing Math. Whatever program that they have set up there, she's able to really understand the way that they teach her.

I've worked with Sylvan Learning Centers for over 12 years. They do what they're supposed to do, which is a great tutoring program. They deliver what they say. We're happy with them.

They focus on reading and writing with my child and there seems to be some improvements. It's been a really positive experience.

We were really apprehensive about Sylvan but a friend of mine had a large credit and they allowed her to transfer it to me. I was able to afford to have my 8th grader evaluated. He was reading like a kindergarten level or below, which I knew and I was telling the school, but the school was like, "Oh, he's fine. Just keep pushing him forward." Sylvan was very honest and they were very delicate about the way they delivered the information.

We are having an amazing experience with Sylvan and we're seeing a lot of improvement on my son because of them. His grades have gone one up. Also, they're very clear on communication and they're always there to answer questions. They do monthly reviews and they're very thorough.

It's working pretty well with Sylvan and my daughter enjoys going. Also, when I have to leave messages, they call me right back. The only complaint I would have is it's pretty pricey. But whatever is gonna help my daughter is gonna help.

Since Sylvan, my kids got a lot better with math specifically. Their grades went up.

My daughter went to Sylvan and she really liked the people there. Their team seemed to be knowledgeable. Most recently, my son also liked the people there. They had a strong curriculum and our kids had positive relationships with the people there. With my daughter, it was during the pandemic. We were making sure that she was not falling behind since they were doing remote learning. She did phenomenally well. Now, her reading scores are way ahead of those in her grade level. For my son, the same. We just wanted to be sure that he had a strong reading foundation. We feel like that was what happened. He's doing great at reading. He's ahead of his peers. We thought it was a good investment. The tutors were excellent, very personable and knowledgeable, too. They're young, but my kids really enjoy going back. If there were any concerns, they would address those with us.

So far, our experience with Sylvan has been great. They've been helping my daughter. She gets a lot of one-on-one help. She's a full-time student there. I took her out of school and put her in full-time. When she would come home, she would talk about what she learned. She never did that when she was in regular school. She seems to be obtaining some sort of knowledge. I get a little bit of a discount because she has an IEP. But the cost isn't that bad.

Since ding Sylvan, my child is more confident in doing her math now and she's not afraid to ask questions. The customer service is excellent. They take their time and explain things to you. I enjoy my child going there. And they were willing to work with our schedules, too.

I initially went local with a local teacher, but she couldn't accommodate our needs. So we went to a larger facility. Sylvan is one of the few in the area. They're focusing on reading and writing with my child. We've been there for six weeks now. We just had a meeting with his teacher, on Friday, and he is doing 100 times better.

They started with math with my child, and now they're working on the SAT. I like that it is individualized and they advocate for my child's needs. Definitely, the grade has increased and her confidence has increased. She doesn't feel ashamed to go and ask for help, which was a big issue before. Their cost is also the best that I could find and I'm satisfied. It was worth it. And they have different options as well. Their customer service is excellent, too. I can text, call or email, and someone will be right back to address any concerns I have.

The reps at Sylvan are very good. They do a good job greeting the children as they walk in. My child likes going. He's working on first-grade reading and writing.

I like Sylvan better compared to our previous tutoring option. It appears that whatever system that Sylvan is utilizing is more effective for my son than the other. They're focusing on reading and writing and he has improved tremendously with his English grade in middle school. The customer service is amazing as well. Any time that I reach out to Sylvan to reschedule or to get a progress report or anything in nature of my son, it's done. I receive communication from them timely. The call is within a day, at most two days. They're really good about corresponding. The price is okay, too. But I would rather there would be some type of discounts or incentives offered for participants or customers who have been utilizing the tutoring services for a long period of time.

When my son started coming to Sylvan I was desperate. He was reading way below grade level and his confidence was lacking. Almost a year later and he is a changed boy. He is reading well above grade level and now we just started him on math. Ms ** is his tutor and she is so patient and her experience with kids with special needs shines through. I am so grateful that she has taken such good care of my boy and is truly committed to his success. Thank you sylvan and thank you Ms. **.

I spoke to Miriam at Sylvan and I let her know that they've done an excellent job with my child. We got him in a higher level than when we brought him in, so I was very grateful at all the efforts, services, and check-ins that Miriam did with us. She's really thorough and followed through. At the beginning, the tutoring focused on Math and English. But now, it's more English comprehension and we're moving on to writing.

I recommend Sylvan Learning Centers because I checked the other learning places in the area and I felt my son would be better off in Sylvan. My son likes it. He's happy. He likes the teachers. They're nice. They're after the safety of my son. They take him out to the parking lot where I wait and they take time to help my son with his assignment, which is nice, and they're patient. When I have a concern like about Liam's grades in the school, Steve is accommodating to talk about it. Sylvan has its own process, but they tried to accommodate what my son's needs are. We are gonna go for next semester. We're gonna continue on because it helps him with his grades.

I've been with Sylvan Learning for a long time now. We've seen three different directors when Tori first got tested. When she first got tested, she was doing the first and second grade level with reading and math. The first year, it was like sketchy towards me because I really didn't understand the grasp of all I'm paying this money. Then it was so hard for me to keep up with the rescheduling. So, I missed a lot of days. I backed off with them then, but then, we came back. Tori has been back for a year and a half now. Working with Miss Carol and Miss Courtney has been absolutely amazing. They adore Tori. Tori has confidence now. Sometimes, she still shuts down but as far as having the confidence that she has with doing work on some things by herself, it's amazing to see. I love the way that they try to make her be more independent with doing her work. So all around, I pay a lot of money every month but my money is well spent.

My children’s focus is mostly on Reading but there is some Math involved as well. They’re still working on the grades. It's still fresh, so it's too soon to tell. One of my kids' grades has gone down but there are more factors than just the learning. I ask the tutors how my children do and they show me how they do for the day. But if there's a hiccup, they let me know about that.

Sylvan said that they could get the kid up a grade level and they were able to do that. My child's been able to write better and he's excited to go. Their staff has also been super nice. The price is a little steep. But it's worth it.

My son is doing very well with Sylvan, but it's sometimes difficult to schedule make-up appointments. Sometimes they get confused between the scheduled appointments and the make-up appointments. I have to reiterate to 300 people that, “No. This is the schedule. This appointment was given to me by somebody. And it's for a make-up.” The schedule has to be a little bit more cohesive. The learning environment is fine. But I would like it to be a smaller ratio.

We started with Sylvan Learning in January, and so far, my grandson loves it. He's improved some. The reps also tell me things. If I'm there dropping off my grandson, they'll talk to me, then they text me. They've called me, and we set up meetings and go over everything. They're really good about all that. If somebody asked, "What do you think about Sylvan?" I would say, "So far, it's been wonderful. I can't say anything bad about it whatsoever." They go above and beyond with being nice and understanding. If I had a few questions, they were always there to listen and they were right on top of it.

It's been a great experience with Sylvan Learning. Carrie is the executive director, and she's been very supportive. Sylvan Learning is more hands-on and they're very flexible with my kid's schedule. My son likes them. He's improved really fast.

I would recommend Sylvan. They helped my children in staying focused on being able to do their homework on time. We've recently stopped going because their grades are improving.
