    My son's in first grade, and he's doing mathematics and reading with Sylvan Learning. The scheduling is great. Sometimes he misses a lot of the weekend because either he doesn't want to or he's tired. They are always willing to reschedule if they have an availability during the week. I have seen a significant improvement in my son. He's very good at math, and he's now reading, which he wasn't doing before he went there.

    I love the Sylvan Learning center in Edison. They do excellent work, and I have nothing but positive things to say about them. I love how they're so intuitive and friendly. They know my son by name, and my son knows them by name. I appreciate how they do things. It's just the price. I pay $399 a month, and it's very expensive, but they're so willing to help out. The other day, I was late on the payment and they didn't charge me a late fee. Even though the payment is high, I feel comfortable they wouldn't stop tutoring my son if I missed a payment.

    Sylvan Learning was very friendly and nice. So, I went with them. It is good service. The owner answered any questions. And if I canceled a session, she was on top of it. My son struggles still, but he is getting more confident in his work. Sylvan Learning does not only help your child but also offer different things to help financially pay for the session.

    I gave over $3,000 down to Sylvan Learning Centers for my son to have 65 sessions. And it was fine. I was very pleased. However, I could never get ahold of the office directly. Every time I would try to call, it would always direct me to the regular internet number. So, they were, "You should have the direct office number." But I got it. But they would not always get my call. It was hard for me to be able to talk to anybody. They would always have to call me back because the phone lines wouldn't allow for us parents to call directly into the office.

    I hate to rave about it when I don't know where it stands now. I know they've been making a lot of changes. I still have 15 sessions left. And my son hasn't gone to one of them because I don't know what's going on. They are all gone. I've gone to the office a few times and it would say "open" on the door, but nobody was there. I've called many times and nobody answered and called me back. It has been the whole school year.

    My son did very good with the staff and the teachers that were there. My son did good there. He engaged well with them, which my son is very particular who he would work with and who he wouldn't. I was very grateful that the people there that assisted him all these months were the way that they were with him. And he was able to catch up in school and do better as far as being able to feel more confident and keeping his assignments on task and having them to turn to. I took him twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays for two hours.

    We started with Sylvan with tutoring for homework then we ended up doing math as well. My son's math grades are good but we wanted to focus on math for long term. He said it's been easier for him since he's been doing Sylvan. His homework's done much better as far as not having missing assignments. He enjoys going to Sylvan. He doesn't complain at all about it. I would recommend Sylvan. They've been very helpful for what my son needed. The price is a little expensive but it's worth it.

    I am considered a non-traditional college student. I'm 49 now and my ability to solve Math problems is very, very poor. I had to take a quantitative reasoning class, and I knew I would fail without help, but I didn't know where to go for that help because of my age. So I took a chance and I called Sylvan. I spoke to an amazing person named Eddie and he reassured me that there was no such thing as being too old to come to Sylvan for tutoring. He made me feel super comfortable. That very same week, he was able to set me up with my tutor whose name is Marty.

    Marty was phenomenal at helping me not just get the right answers but understand the concepts and how I got the right answers. He was really patient. He raised my self-esteem. He was very encouraging to me that I could do it and with his help, I did it. I passed. He was calm and funny. When people are funny, that puts me at ease. He made me feel comfortable and I never once felt stupid. I was kind of sad when the class was over and I didn't have a reason to go back because I really liked the facility and the people that work there. I would recommend them to anyone. I would go back in a heartbeat if the time comes when I need help again. It was worth the money.

    I used to go to Sylvan when I was young. So when my son needed tutoring, it was one of my first options because I liked it when I went as a little kid. They've been going over the learning gaps that my son has had to help him progress with his reading and comprehension. My meetings with the guy and the ladies who helped do the assessment testing were pleasant. I like them. They're very helpful. My son is doing better now in the areas that he was having trouble in. He's also enjoying going to Sylvan. He likes being able to learn what they teach him and then he gets prizes at the end of the week when he does good. He's been getting the little award card and he's excited when he comes out.

    Sylvan has a great learning environment for the children. I would recommend it. They go above and beyond to make sure your child is understanding and fixing those learning gaps that they need to grow and do better and be successful in school. They always let me know when they have enclosing and different things with parking to ensure the safety of the kids when they're being dropped off and picked up. They also call and have meetings with me, talking about my son's progress and how well he's doing.

    My oldest did math for a year at Sylvan and caught him up really well. I enrolled my other two kids because I was pleased with how it went with my oldest. They are now doing math and reading. I have seen the reading go a lot better. My other one was doing reading, and he probably didn't need to ‘cause he was already above grade level so I switched him to math. All my kids are happy whenever they know that they have to go there. When I pick them up, they're in a great mood. That's one big reason why we keep going. If they weren't happy, I don't think the results would be there. If they made it difficult for me to bring them there, then we probably would have canceled that a long time ago. Sylvan is nice to the kids and the kids like the incentives that they get. Sylvan is a little expensive but it's worth the money. They're very flexible whenever I need to cancel or move a lesson. It would be great if there were more time slots available though.

    The learning environment at Sylvan was excellent. They were in tune with my child's needs, just very adapting to him. The cost is a little pricey. But for the return on investment, it's money well spent. I would like to have seen them move at a little bit faster pace with him, though. He would tend to get a little bit bored with some of the repetitiveness. Just picking up the pace a little would have helped. But the staff was wonderful and they were very accommodating.

    I pay for the lessons at Sylvan Learning Centers. They're lovely people that genuinely care about the kids. They are very hands-on, concerned about the kids, work with their individual needs. My granddaughter goes there and she makes nice progress. Her parents are thrilled with her progress. Sylvan has a structured program, but they went outside of it for her. And I'm sure for any of the other kids that had lapses and gaps in learning during the pandemic when everything was shut down.

    What Syluvan did for my granddaugter was incredible. She left in the middle of kindergarten, went back and they threw her in the middle of second grade, which is where she would have been if she had been in school. But she was not anywhere near being a second grader in terms of Reading or Math. She was a kindergartener, maybe a mid-first grader. And Sylvan, in the few months that she has been there, took her up to grade level. She's in fourth grade now, going into fifth grade next year.

    She was failing everything in school. They dumbed down the requirements because the kids were so far behind, that she is now getting 80s and better in Math and Science and are still struggling in English for whatever reason. But we're not being too fussy about that because she's doing well and they're working on it. They've made a lot of progress with her. They've taught her now Phonics, which she didn't know. She can do just about anything. And Sylvan has been the reason behind it.

    Sylvan's encouragement is hysterical. They went in one day and had donuts for the kids for, "Here, we're gonna sit down, but you're gonna have donuts when we're done." Everybody was happy and had donuts. Kid was thrilled. And in terms of price, I found them to be reasonable. They have one teacher for two or three children. And it's good. It's a small group environment. They charge $49 an hour, which you cannot get a tutor for that anywhere in this country. That was phenomenal. We are very pleased with Sylvan's program.

    I put my youngest son in Sylvan years ago to catch up on Reading and they were great. So, I decided to give it a try with my grandson. He couldn’t read before. He’s only five and will go to Kindergarten in the Fall. I wanted to give him the best leg-up so that he would not be behind and that he would learn phonics correctly. It's a good thing to do.

    Sylvan is moderately expensive but is a great fair market value for the quality of the service as well as its competitors. The first focus for my child was Reading and the second was Math. Then the most recent that we're still finishing is Writing and Writing Comprehension. The improvement was dramatic in all three. My child thrives better in that environment than he ever could at school. Sylvan is a confidence builder on top of the academic building. The only complaint that I have is that we have to have at least two one-hour sessions a week.

    I've seen growth in my child since starting with Sylvan. He now reads, which he didn't do with either of the other two programs he did. He is a little bit more careful about what he's doing and he's getting better at using correct spelling. The learning environment is good. They had to make accommodations once he had some testing done and found he had an auditory processing disorder. They were able to make those accommodations, putting him in a separate room versus the large room that had multiple people. Because he does not filter out background noises. So he needed a more quiet environment for learning.

    Sometimes, the ability to have one-on-one help isn't there because they have a lot of people that are coming through, which seems to still work with the kids. But sometimes, there are areas that need a little more one-on-one, which would be good versus three, four, or even five kids with a teacher or a tutor. The cost is also a bit of a pinch but it's worth it. They've always worked very well with me.

    I like Sylvan. I used to take my kid to Kumon, but I didn't like the way they teach there. Sylvan is one-to-one. This way, the kids will learn more quicker than giving homework, and not enforcing. If they don't know how to do the homework, they cannot do the homework. I don't like that kind of learning pattern. I like the Sylvan system because they sit down with the kids. I see that as advantage for my kids. One of my children takes math and reading. The second one just started and she's only writing for now because her reading level is very good. Their tutors help them. I like them.

At first, I was there for my SAT prep and they helped knowing my timing for it, being able to read through the passages properly and being able to understand problems in the math section. Then I had some extra hours, so I went to homework help and they helped me with my calculus. For calculus, they helped me to understand all the tricks and tips to getting the correct answers and all the trigonometry behind it. It was mostly college level classes and they were able to help me tremendously.

    We've been extraordinarily happy with Sylvan. My daughter was feeling less confident about mathematics so I've been having Sylvan work more with that with her. My son is struggling with physical writing and also organizing and composing his thoughts so I've had them working with him with reading. They have done a wonderful job working with him. I wish they did more physical writing with him but their program doesn't focus as much on that. But over time, we've built stronger relationships. We feel almost a devotion to Sylvan now. They've become a part of our growing up landscape. The kids rely on their social connections there as much as their learning support. Their confidence has been bolstered by the small group learning setting, specialized focus, and also the incentives that they offer.

    Sylvan is very helpful at motivating my kids and feeling like school is a priority and fun too. They never balk at going. In fact, they enjoy going to sessions. They earn points when they excel in something or complete something or they've done extra work. They get excited about earning these points. They're motivated to do outside extra work that supports their general foundational knowledge. They think about all the things they wanna get when they get there. They're learning and incentivized to learn more because of the outcome that they get.

    I'm very pleased that Sylvan has been flexible with us when we've had to arrange breaks because of vacations. The communication is very reasonable. I have a warm feeling of being supported. We were gonna stop Sylvan because of financial issues but our children asked us to not stop Sylvan. My daughter said she feels stronger and she can ask questions that she can't ask in school. My son feels connected to the people there. He's got some issues with communication and there’s a lot of negative feedback at school sometimes. Sylvan gives him a more positive feedback. They're able to help him calm down and to focus and complete things. That also helps him to be grounded in his knowledge base and confidence.

    I'm grateful that I have this resource because my time is very limited. It's super helpful to have folks who are trained to teach my kids in a way that they can receive the information in a very efficient manner. It covers gaps that have been missed from the COVID era. Having them scanning for things that have been missed so that they still have a good foundation is nice.

    We use Sylvan for Math for two children and they’ve brought their grades up from C to B. We appreciate them. They are a little pricier than just a tutor outside but it's okay. My great-nieces love Sylvan and their teacher helping them through problem-solving and making them feel important and listened to. One of them said that her teacher told her in school that he would explain and she should listen. We have a definite problem, which is the reason I put them in Sylvan.

    There are not enough options though at that particular Sylvan. There is only a Tuesday and a Thursday for Math and it’s not open on Fridays. Both girls are very sports-oriented and schools don’t do games on Wednesday due to Church and Sylvan is not meeting their schedules. Our school system has practice every day. But we could get them into the later classes if Sylvan had been available on Monday or Friday. Right now, it falls outside of my great-niece's schedule, which she will change. Her sports will change so maybe she can go back and continue. One of them still needs five hours to catch up on what she missed. She's in college classes and advanced classes. Sylvan said she missed some very valuable core lessons so that put her behind in Geometry. But we just can't make it up.

    We've used Sylvan for my grandson for quite a few years now and we've had a good experience. He only goes once a week now but he was going at one point for three days a week for a couple of hours a night. The only thing that I'm seeing that would be a little bit negative is the change in employees. But I've got businesses and I know what it's like because it's everywhere right now. It seems like nobody wants to work. But other than that, we've been happy with Sylvan. It's been good for him and I would recommend it.

    Sylvan focused on English and Math in the past but right now, he's not focused on either one of those. He does not have the time to try to get ahead. He likes Lynn, the one that he works with right now in Tiffin, Ohio. They seem to mesh well. He’s at the level he should be. But we haven't done a lot of testing here recently because he's going to a public school and just getting help on homework. It's been an adjustment and a different school too. He's in a church school. He was homeschooled for two years so it’s been a difficult thing. He's in eighth grade and the older they get, the harder it is for them to teach themselves. When we were trying to get him caught back up as far as when he got behind, you could see continuous progress so he was more up to grade level. He was down quite a bit and I had that feeling he was. He was telling me he was struggling. But for an eighth grader, he is tuned in to everything.

    My grandson goes from 5:00 to 7:00 at night to Sylvan and by the time I get him back home anywhere between 7:30 and a quarter till 8:00, that's getting late and sometimes, he still has homework to finish when he gets home. That's been a little bit of a complaint with his dad. My grandson works a little slower and sometimes he's gotta wait for the teacher because there's another student in there. When he was doing Math and trying to catch up, I saw a lot of good and it was more worth it. But we cut back to one day. I can’t take him that many days. It's just too much. It's been a discussion. It's not terrible drive time but if they have a lot of homework, he should be just sitting there and working on it.

    I usually pick him up at 4 o'clock from his house because I take him to get something to eat before he goes. And then I make sure he's there by 5:00. So, there's an hour. And by the time I get him home, it's another 45 minutes. But he likes Sylvan and he would like to go. So, I just bite the bullet and do it. But I didn't buy any more tutoring. I've got a lot of money in what I have done though and when this runs out, I'll have to probably see what happens next, when he starts in the fall.

    We go to a satellite office in Tiffin, which is small, and they’ve had changes recently. I had dealt with a couple of women who were in there consistently since he was going and they both left at the same time. But customer service-wise, I haven’t had trouble. For the most part, it's been very good dealing with people. It's not perfect but we're not in a perfect world these days.

    My grandson had a few tutors who weren't up to snuff but it's going good again. So, for the most part, he's had ones that he was happy with. He's had a few that just did not help him. They didn't have the knowledge. I probably should have called and said something, but it was during that time when things had just changed and I was trying to wait it out and see if it would even out and get better. I shouldn't probably do that, but I did, not with the price you pay for it. If you get in on that fall or winter, Sylvan has a sale. It's much better if you buy a package and get that discount. But if you just come in and buy it at any time, it's pricey.

    We're absolutely happy with Sylvan. My son was going for Reading at first and then we put him on the Math program and he's really doing good. His tests are looking better at school and he enjoys the program. He's in the special ed class at school and they haven't done anything for him but Sylvan has helped so much and I'm gonna continue going to them until he's caught up to his grade. I wish he could go there full-time for school but it's expensive and right now, we can only do two times a week. In the summer, we're gonna do three times a week.

    Also, the staff is nice, helpful, and answer anything. They call you back or answer right away and I like that. They're always up-to-date when his reviews are coming and they'll let us know to call and pick a date we want. They're really nice and my son likes them.

    Recently, we got reconnected with Sylvan for the benefit of my daughter. She's in 5th grade. Presently, we're using it for math, but we have used it for reading. Sylvan is providing a resource to students who have been affected by the shutdown from COVID. So, it's a Herculean effort because these students were taken out of a productive learning environment at a time when their learning and momentum towards their own academic growth was stunted by the shutdown. So, I see growth and development, and Sylvan is doing a terrific job. Sylvan's charge is large, but the supplemental support they're providing students is wonderful. It's necessary.

    I'm very upset that the state decided to do the shutdown. It's something that made us try to rethink whether or not we want our kids in public education, which is sad because my husband and I are both products of public education, but they have gravely let our children down. Sylvan is doing a great job trying to swoop in to help. It's a responsibility that's really not theirs. It's the schools. But we're grateful to Sylvan. Communication is good.

    I reached out to Sylvan and scheduled an interview. We went to an office to see what they had to offer and get familiarized with the facility and the staff there. They were clear with what they had to offer. The testing showed what assistance we were looking for for our children. For one of them, they told me that for her grade, it was reading and writing. For one of our other children, we did the reading and math. It was the same thing with the writing. They told us that was gonna be part of it. For our third kiddo, it was reading, math, and writing.

    We just got back a report which checks to see how much the children have advanced and what they've been retaining. My oldest child that's been struggling in reading went up 100 points compared to how she started at the beginning of the year. We are very happy. Anything that we receive from the school on what the children are working on, we provide it to the tutoring facility. That way, we're on the same page, see what they're learning, what they need to progress in, and what they are retaining. Sylvan is worth it. We like the consistency of the tutors and the times that are available. When I ask my children how it's going, they're able to tell me what particular things they're doing, what they had been working on with the tutor and how they enjoy working with their tutors so far.

    It's been going well with Sylvan. They work one on one with my son with his English and reading and writing skills. He goes three times a week and enjoys going. He took to it quickly. However, their prices are expensive. Also, sometimes allowing the child to work independently and asking if they have any questions would be beneficial than just sitting and doing the work with them. But I get that they are offering a tutoring service.

    Sylvan is getting my son up to grade level with reading and it's going well. The program is hands-on and tailored to what his gaps are instead of teaching kids all together in one big lesson. It's like a well-oiled machine in regards to how they identify all his gaps. He's in the fourth grade and if there is one gap that was missing from first grade, that system will identify it. Also, it has games and stuff built in to make it not seem so boring. They have incentives and it looks like my son's okay because every time he comes out, he has something that I'm like, "Okay, that's gonna come up missing in a couple of days."

    I have my oldest kid at Sylvan Learning Centers. And my twins have just started. They just turned four. Sylvan has been a very welcoming environment for my kids. My oldest does Reading, Phonics, and vowel sounds put together. He focuses on reading comprehension. My twins started in January, but they've been sick a lot, so they haven't had as many sessions. But I'm trying to focus on just alphabet recognition, letter sounds, and phonics with them.

    I put them in there for confidence build. I just did it because I needed him to interact with other kids outside of his school. He got bullied at school. It's very good. My kids look forward going to Sylvan. It is storming here in Mississippi. And we go tonight. We're going in the storming rain. That's how excited my kids are about going and participating in Sylvan.

    The tutors are dynamic. They use tablets. They read stories. And it's organized. I like the director the most. She has a welcoming energy that makes us feel noticed and our kids noticed. She knows every kid by their own name and the parents. Any other thing, I'm my kids' mom. I don't have a name. But she knows my name. I've observed her with every family. She's very welcoming. She sets the tone for how the center is run. And my experience with the other teachers, they're very welcoming. They treat all kids the same and very patient with each individual kid's learning styles.

    Sylvan is expensive, but it's an investment. I bought a package during Black Friday, a November promotion. I got the best deal there would be. It's just expensive because I have three kids. I've noticed that a lot of kids grew up into it. Kids go there. I've seen teenagers.

    Two of my children have attended Sylvan. One about seven years ago during her fourth through fifth grade. They took her from a learning level of being a fifth grader in learning all the way up to being a fifth-grade level. From that point on, she exceeded and she's now graduating from high school with As and Bs. She's taking some serious courses in high school and it's really turned her life around. I'm hoping for the same thing here with our younger one who's currently with them. She's got a math deficiency and about two grades behind. She's in ninth grade right now and she has an early eighth-grade learning level. But her basics weren’t there. They're doing algebra and linear algebra. So, they're trying to get her caught up on that and they're doing a great job at it.

    The communication with the tutors is pretty phenomenal. We get together almost every month and when something's coming up, everybody have been in talks, because my daughter has a 504 plan. Sylvan's reps know my daughter's accommodations and the teacher gives them a report which tells them what she did well on a test and what she didn't do so well on it, then they try to hyperfocus on those items. Sylvan is not cheap but it's a great thing for kids that really need help.

They're going to go to Math. Those were the two areas where she was a little behind. But Reading was the most important and they did as well. She is no longer failing and I’d like to think that that is the result of going to Sylvan. We have not been going that long but her reading has improved. Sylvan is expensive though.

    Sylvan was instrumental in making sure that my son got to where he needed to be to ensure his placement into the next grade. Also, they bring you in, sit you down, and go over grades and explain everything to you. You're not just left to look at a bunch of stuff online and wonder what's going on. I pretty much exclusively worked with the owner, Gail. There's an older lady who was extremely assertive, grumpy, and set in her ways. It became a problem and she had enough people say something to where Gail had to go say something to her a few times. This woman has really turned around her attitude and has been much better all the way around towards our family. It made me happy to know that being the owner, Gail is going to take some pride and even though she's been friends with this woman for many years, she can put customer service above and beyond her personal relationship.

    My son is doing reading, writing and comprehension with Sylvan. The frustration on my child not knowing was one of his biggest defaults or deficiencies. So now that he knows and is able to solve, it makes it a little easier for him to comprehend things. So far, the teachers are great. I like progress and seeing results, and my son has achieved results with Sylvan. I would recommend them.

    My daughter improves in Math when she goes to Sylvan. She likes it and she's happy to go. The tutors respond right away and they always have an answer. If they need to contact me, they do and I contact them if I need to. If a friend’s child is struggling in school and needs to improve their math skills, then I will refer Sylvan. It is expensive but it comes with tutoring.

    They're helping my granddaughter with Reading. It's a little bit slower than I thought it would go. But it's going okay. She just went into second grade and they started her off with kindergarten skills. She's becoming a little bit bored with it. But she loves the reward system on Fridays. The director also contacts me every other month and gives me a progress report. There has been improvement.

    When my 19-year-old son was in the seventh grade, he needed a little bit of assistance in math. We learned about Sylvan and all the representatives that I've dealt with at Sylvan have always been very pleasant, knowledgeable and explained the process very well. Everything was fine when he went. They have an excellent program to help your children.

    My daughter gets tutoring from Sylvan for math. She's doing well. She likes going there and is enjoying her time doing maths there, and it's helping her at school. I called customer service to switch days because she was on Mondays, and then I switched her to Wednesdays. They were like, “Okay. Sure thing. That’s fine.” I’d recommend Sylvan.

    I would recommend Sylvan Learning to anybody. They've been really nice. I spoke to the director there, and he was great. My son's in 5th grade, and he does reading twice a week and math once a week with them. He loves it.

    I went to Sylvan when I was in high school and it helped me out tremendously. My daughter started having problems and all the tutoring associations didn't work. I spent thousands and thousands of dollars a year for these people and I didn't see any result. I should've went with Sylvan from the get-go. Now, my daughter loves Sylvan. So far, everything's fine. Ms. Paula keeps pushing her and just wants to do everything for the best for her. She loves going there. When I got hurt at work on December 19th, Ms. Paula and their Sylvan facility have been working with me with the payments. It's awesome.

    We've had great success with Sylvan. I was concerned at first because I didn't know the process that they use. I thought it was one-to-one. So, when I found out it was one-to-two or one-to-three, I was concerned how my daughter would get the attention that she needed. But it works because she saw results. Last year, my daughter started when she went to sixth grade, because after the pandemic and being homeschooled for the past, she had a major gap. And fifth grade was supposed to be a catch-up year. She went to school that year. But her teacher had health issues, so they had substituted the whole year. So, my daughter was behind. We reached out to Sylvan. They got her tested. And we started a rigorous program with her.

    Within a few months, my daughter's scores had gone up. She had more confidence in her reading. She completed that program. She's in seventh grade now. And she just does homework support for math. When I call, Sylvan is prompt in returning phone calls. Most of the time, they answered if I called. But generally, I text. I'm able to text Danielle directly. And someone would always text right back. Email is good too.

    Sylvan helps my child in Math and English and we've been in the program for two months now. We took advantage of the promotion when they were having the Black Friday one. The staff is great and seems engaged, and my kid doesn't hate it, which is great for tutoring.

    My son, Amos, is a sophomore taking geometry and he has worked with Ron the last three years since coming back out of COVID to help catch up with math skills. This year specifically is geometry. Amos will bring in his homework and Ron will do some prep to help him get ready for exams and understand concepts. Most recently, Amos was able to get 100% on one of his exams for the first time in his life in geometry. He said it didn't feel right because it was so easy. It was because he knew his stuff. My son has worked for a few years also with Carol, the tutor for English. Sylvan Learning is wonderful and I appreciate everything that they have done for my son. It's expensive for a family that doesn't have much but knows the importance of education so, I wish there were scholarships.

    The enrollment process with Sylvan Learning was straightforward. My son went in and did a test so they could see what level he was at, and we found out what he needed exactly to get him up-to-date. My son's doing reading and math, and I can definitely see improvements when he's working on his homework. He's filled a lot of gaps quickly working with the tutors there.

    Sylvan Learning gives your child a personal tutoring plan for them and shows them where they have gaps where they know where they need to work on. My son's in sixth grade and he went in with low confidence in himself. The COVID virtual learning was really hard for him and he lost that one-on-one ability, but the tutoring has give him that confidence back and allowed him to build the skills that he was missing.
