Sylvan Learning Reviews

I had two grandkids that went to Sylvan. One needed help with reading and my other granddaughter was in every area. With my oldest granddaughter, they helped her with phonics, the sounding of the letters and putting letters together. For my youngest, it was repetition because she was not retaining anything that she was learning. It's a little pricey, but Sylvan is a great place for your kids to go to get the extra help that they need. We had a great experience. My grandkids loved it. They liked going.

My granddaughter, whom at the time was a 1st grader, was being in her reading due to Covid. Her teacher HIGHLY recommended Sylvan Learning Center. I trusted her better judgement, and was not disappointed. My granddaughter started attend Sylvan at the Downey location June 2023. Her reading level has increased tremendously! Sylvan has not only helped my granddaughter increase in her reading ability, but has given her a new found confidence in herself!

Our experience with Sylvan Learning was great. They do English and Math and my son has improved in both of those areas. I recommend them 100%. They were understanding and very professional.

They're helping my child in Reading and it's working. She seems to like going to Sylvan. I'm happy with the situation so far.

They help my child with reading. Since then, he's reading better and he wants to read now. I would recommend Sylvan. It worked for my son.

My daughter went from reading on 5th grade level to an 11th grade level. Sylvan is a good center. Their website is very easy to access and get around on it. Sylvan is great for your kids' education and future.

When my younger kids needed help for school, I decided to put them in Sylvan. They are no longer in it, but it was really good. It's a good place.

I liked the program structure that Sylvan Learning Centers had. Also, they’re very easy to deal with. The structure is set up well. And they have small class sizes. My daughter is enjoying it. She's beginning to score better on practice testing.

I would recommend Sylvan Learning Centers because they have good communication. They keep us updated. And I see the difference. My child enjoys it. The interaction has been good.

Sylvan Learning was great for my daughter, and she enjoyed it. She's a strange child. She just entered third grade, and she was doing fourth grade reading and math. She wasn't there to catch up. She was just there because she's a nerd in school. She comes out, explains things to me, and says things that make sense. We only did eight weeks, then Labor Day hit, and we have been reevaluated since. Sylvan Learning is expensive, and that's fine, but it’s also great for people who can't afford it who are generally the people who need help to be able to afford to go to things like this.

We were with Mathnasium before, and Sylvan is better. My sons preferred the program. They learned better. When we first switched, my son was failing math, and the Sylvan tutor helped bring math up from an F to a B. I appreciated the personalized attention that my children received, and I saw the almost immediate improvement in both their study habits and their comprehension of the material. It was also easy to schedule, make changes, and coordinate.

I had three kiddos go this summer. For two of them, Sylvan focused on Math and ELA. For the third kiddo, they focused on spelling. The tutor helped significantly for all three kids. They had a positive experience and demonstrated an improvement in test scores from when they started and when they ended. But it would be nice if there was an online option to make scheduling a bit easier. Other than that, I recommend Sylvan.

We focused on Reading. My child started with the fundamentals of sight words. Each time, we see a different tutor. Sometimes we get the same one. Some tutors are more than others. I hope they can be consistent and have just one person working with my child.

I've told a few people that Sylvan is a good spot. It's different but I appreciate it because my child needs it, and it's working for her. She needed reading, has some speech issues early on. And I have her on the IEP. She is making good progress, even in just the two months that she has been there. Sylvan communicates well. I also like that they use the pre-data collection, seeing where the child is at prior to them starting. It's closer to what they use in the actual school system. So, it helps for getting that improvement that we wanna see.

$60 an hour is too high. If they are working with my son on his comprehension, why does it cost so much when the only thing they are doing is helping him understand what he's reading. For 10 weeks, $3,500 is too much for how the economy is going. They are also asking for supplies to help other students. The setup is horrible. They don't even have computers. If I have to do it again, I'll go to somebody else. I don't think it's worth my money.

Sylvan is superior to other tutoring options in terms of scheduling and the accreditation they have with their teachers. It's worth the investment for your child. Do it early as soon as you know your child is struggling.

They're helping my child with reading comprehension, math, and some writing skills. She's enjoying it. She said it's fun and she likes it. I've seen improvement in her confidence. I also like that it's only so many students per teacher and they have time to really dig in deep with the student. The manager has been awesome too. She keeps in check with us and makes sure to be coming. She's a very sweet person. All of the teachers are knowledgeable as well. They let me know the things that they're working on with her and we communicate very well. I would recommend Sylvan.

The pandemic happened when my son was in kindergarten. That really hurt him. We had to take him out of public school and put him in a private school. He repeated first grade and now he's going to second grade. But he still has difficulty. We're spending on Sylvan three times a week and the private school. My experience with Sylvan has been excellent. My son loves going there. Communicating with the tutors works very well.

Sylvan has been around for a long time and seems to have a good course of study of what they're gonna go over with the kids. I had a friend who used them in the past and she had a good rapport with them. So, I knew it was going to be a good experience. My daughter goes to tutoring three times a week and has been in the program for about three months. She goes in the evenings during the week and on Saturdays and are focusing on Math and Writing. She seems to like Sylvan and is making a lot of progress. She seems enthusiastic to go or she's more enthused when she gets done. She seems to have a good time while she's there and it's been a positive experience.

Sylvan has been good so far. My daughter is making progress and everybody is nice. She enjoys going. As long as she's happy, I'm happy.

My kids were excited about the rewards. Sylvan was great and it was worth the money.

Sylvan is a good place to bring my son. Also, when I enrolled my son there, they have one-on-one tutorial. I've seen some great results with him. Now, he can read good and knows rhyming words. The tutors are very patient. Knowing my son, he tends to lose attention but I see that he is learning a lot from them and I would like to commend the team and all the instructors. They make learning fun. My son likes to go to Sylvan to get some toys. He has a friend from football and I told them I enrolled my son to Sylvan.

My daughter goes to public school and it is a good public school but some of the teachers don't have the extra training or skill to deal with certain questions or tutoring needs that the students may have. That could be a problem, whereas Sylvan is trained for this. They offer SAT prep at her school but it wasn't enough. It was for a day or two, whereas she's getting SAT prep for the whole summer with Sylvan. She's getting Math help and she's feeling a lot more comfortable in Math. She has an IEP. I noticed that her confidence has grown and she looks forward to going to Sylvan every time we go.

It's been a great experience with Sylvan, from the initial time going, to my son being tested. He's had good experiences with the teachers teaching him. He is taking Reading and Math. He had to go to summer school. So, we started him at the end of the school year, and some of his test scores from the end of the school year have improved. He was in a situation where he could have been retained, but he did show improvement both in his Reading and Math test scores that allowed him to be promoted to the 5th grade. He's not crazy about going to Sylvan He does enjoy his treats after he does well. He's very aware of the instructors. He's very vocal on someone being able to understand him and give him the opportunity to work it out himself. Sylvan's customer service has always been A+. Whenever we went, everyone is so helpful.

Our experience with Sylvan has been good. We've been there since May and my daughter needed some extra help in school. She's in third grade and she's working on English and Math. They had a progress meeting with me recently and she's come a long way since she started. Over the summertime, she's been reading more and having a little bit more confidence. She has some positive experiences every time she goes. She doesn't really complain about much.

My son was always excited. Even days that we weren't going to the tutor, he would say, "Are we going to the tutor today?" And he would be upset if I said no. He seemed to like his tutors, and his tutors seem to love him too. And I've seen a lot of progress. I was very happy about it.

I've had a great experience with Sylvan. Nancy who runs the site is very flexible with our schedule. We sit down and review progress. I've had two children in separately. With my first son, we saw a huge change within six months. Then I pulled him out and put my other son in.

Sylvan has a good school and friendly with people. My daughter enjoys going there. She needs to take more classes because she needs to catch up but Sylvan is too expensive.

My son is about to be in second grade and this is the second month that he's been to Sylvan Learning for reading comprehension. He likes it, and he's gotten better. It's easier for any kid to learn from someone else sometimes than their parents sitting there and hounding them about it. Sylvan Learning also incentivizes the kids with snacks, and they get a little treat or toy after they earn so many points as well.

Nathan and Bethany have been really, really excelling since going to Sylvan. I'm also seeing a huge difference in their confidence as well. They're actually looking forward to each week. Honestly, before you called, Bethany just walked upstairs and said, "Do I have class this Thursday?" And I'm like, "Not this week, sweetheart." So, you can tell that they're very, very excited. Even her reading for both of them and stuff, just the reading is definitely excelling. She's able to do more of the reading without the assistance of me telling her, "Hey, try," and then after giving her those cues. Before, she would have the syllables down pack. She would pretty much be able to break down those compounds. But blending it and putting it all together, which there was a struggle, especially with the bigger words. But now, she's pretty much excelling. It's the same thing with Nathan as well.

My son has both language studies as well as math. He goes to Sylvan Learning four times a week, Tuesday to Friday, and he's definitely gaining confidence, which I'm glad. He still has a long way to go, but I'm seeing very small improvements and it’s only been three weeks. I have every confidence that he's gaining peace about the work, not being afraid of it and taking up the challenges in his own pace and time. That's a great advantage for him so far. Sylvan Learning has been accommodating, helpful and taking care of my son, and I'm thankful. Being a mom who wants the best for him, I would love to see him go faster, but it's at his own pace and ability. Other than that, the best way I can spend my money is on my child and making sure that he's capable once he gets into school.

My son was having difficulties with fraction so we tried Sylvan again. I like the experience. Everything was very welcoming and informative. They're helping my son. They're introducing more things to him.

Sylvan has been a good motivator for my son. He complains about it as any good 12-year-old would do, but he likes the tutors. His scores at the end of the school year also improved. We've had a great experience. If others need some help, that's a good place to get started.

Going to Sylvan is working for my daughter. Her mindset changed and her grades improved. She's interested in a subject that she wasn't interested in before. She's improving in her scores dramatically. She is reading more. The words that she uses have dramatically increased. She enjoys going to tutoring more than she enjoys any other extra-curricular activity that she does and she does a few. The staff has also been very helpful, kind, polite and quick to resolve any issue I have, like rescheduling.

My grandson’s grades were continually going down. I tried a list through the school of tutoring but there was difficulty and I was at my wits’ end. Then, I even asked his counselor to call him back in to see how he was doing when I had my second phone call with him. And he never did. I wasn't getting help at the school. And they're in the Crown Point School System. It is great if you're a good student but I wasn't getting him the help he needed. I was emailing and talking to teachers. They had an advisory class and the kids would have to leave and go to the class. And then he would tell me they were doing some testing. On his part, he didn't wanna leave the class out of embarrassment that he needed help. So, I needed to get him away from the school environment because he didn't wanna feel like he didn't know his studies.

They're focusing on Math with my child and her comprehension was expanded, but it wasn't enough to impact. But she loved it. Also, Sylvan was prompt and they were on time. If we missed the session, it was made available to retake. It's a good program.

We're happy with Sylvan. I like that with them, my daughter has a tutor, whereas with ABCmouse, it was just me at home. We love Miss Janet. We've requested that she'd always be our tutor. My daughter was having an issue with another one and she kept saying she didn't wanna go back. But when we stay with Miss Janet, she's wonderful. She's always willing to go in with smile on her face, and work.

So far, in four weeks, my son has really learned a lot and improved on his skills. It makes me happy that he's happy about reading. The instructors are awesome. They entertain my son's stories when he has something to share and they have good dialogue with him. At first I thought the cost was high but I see in four weeks how much he's improved so it's worth it. I don't see us stopping anytime soon. Being with Sylvan has been a really good experience.

Our experience with Sylvan was great. We used it for a short time for a specific goal. This was for SAT prep and my daughter had great success. She went five times and she really liked the guy who helped her. His name was Kevin and he was great. Sylvan listened to my daughter and she was part of the process. They worked together to figure out what they needed to focus on. Her score went up. Now, she's content with her score and we're done.

My signup experience with Sylvan Learning was very good. Most of the time, my daughter just had two tutors, and she was very happy. She was very proud of getting more advanced. She mastered the skills that she was supposed to and opened other skills. Right now, we are in Mexico on vacation, but when we go back, she will continue with Sylvan. We are happy about it. Sylvan Learning is worth the cost. Sometimes people say it's expensive, but it's an investment.

My daughter loves going to Sylvan. She works on things she needs to work on. She went from being two grade levels behind in reading to being caught up at the end of the year. She loves going to school and she felt smart. We're going on our third year now. Sylvan is the best thing in the world. It not only gives kids competence, but it will get them to where they need to be. Also, the people truly care, especially our location. I feel very strongly about the people working in our location. Overall, they have such a good reputation because of the people they hire. That goes hand in hand. They get good people that want to work for them. It has not only improved my daughter for her schooling and gotten her to above where she needs to be, but it has also given her a new love for school. I've recommended Sylvan to lots of friends and I got a couple of different friends going.

This is the best learning center yet, when wasn´t part of this program my last score it was around a 70%. When I joined it I got a 94%. :) I had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this business to others. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. I would definitely come back! 5 stars!

I've been taking my daughter to Sylvan since the summer after her second grade. I love Sylvan. They took somebody who had no concept of comprehension learning and got her pretty much caught up. She couldn't learn at school. She does better with one-on-one teaching and just excels. Then, we gave her tests they give to children in school and she's so much better. She doesn't have all the gossip to distract her. She's a fifth grade girl on hormones. She's a gossip queen. So, I love it.

It's been a positive experience with Sylvan. It's helped my son in his education. Every month or two, Sylvan has a progress report and it continuously shows progress. Sylvan is definitely beneficial and worth the expense.

My boy has some issues so we have him in a program to hopefully improve so he'll be ready for second grade level math when school starts back in August. He has been attending Sylvan since the beginning of May and he goes twice a week, and I am seeing a difference. I always ask him for feedback when I pick him up. He’s worked well with all the tutors, but he has a couple of tutors that he likes. Anna and her husband run the Sylvan where we go to. They're great people. They work with you and listen to your concern. They try to come up with the best solution for the family and the child, take into consideration what the child needs. So far, my son loves going there. He doesn't see it as a punishment that he has to do, like extra math work. So, they find a way to make it interesting and fun.

There was a rep who called me from Sylvan. He was so kind and he went over everything with me. He was on the phone with me for so long that I felt like I was his only thing he had to do all day and it was a weekend. I was impressed with his phone etiquette and genuineness. Before my daughter took the assessment, the director reached out and was very polite. She thought that we could start my daughter at her grade level. I said, "I really think she's well below the grade level.". They ended up testing her and she tested in 5th grade when she's in 10th grade. We were glade we gave her the test.

I'm a grandparent who won a prize to get my grandkid to Sylvan. The director called. Once I won the prize, then it was easy. It was very well-received by my son-in-law and daughter and my grandson did a lot better. He's almost a grade level now, whereas he was not. So, that’s very encouraging. The communications were pretty much, “Hey, don't forget they have class today. You know, there's no class on this day because of weather or whatever.” So, the communication was fantastic. We never felt any negativity at all when we were there. All the tutors seemed exceptional. The scheduling was flexible and we got results and felt like the kid enjoyed it. He knew he was there to work, but he never dreaded going.

Our experience with Sylvan was good. The lady was teaching my child different concepts. He improved a little bit. I'd recommend them.

Signing up with Sylvan was great. I noticed a difference definitely in my child's reading speed. She also loved Sylvan.

I highly recommend Sylvan Learning Centers. It was more tutoring. I did Math and Reading with my daughter. She enjoys being there. I've seen improvement. She caught up to her grade level, and she's bypassing it now. The only drawback is cost. But they have a summer sale going on that I looked into that I could lock-in rates, and it's good for the year.

My twins go to Sylvan once a week for reading and comprehension. When I talked to the teacher, she told me, "Go to the store and get a comforter, then go to another store and get some milk," but they can't get the two together. They're just gonna remember one thing, like, "Go to the store." So that was what the lady explained to me about the main problem that she saw. When there are two things that need to be done, they're used to just doing one and then they're leaving the other one. That's how they failed. I wish they could go more than once a week, but my credit didn't approve for it.

The first time that I went with Sylvan was for my oldest for reading. The second time was for my oldest again and it was for math. Now, it's for my youngest for reading. When we walked in to Sylvan, they did a little test to see where my children were at and we went over the days and the times that worked for us and worked for them. It was pretty easy. My oldest went from a grade below where he was at to third grade reading level. Then he went from two years behind in math to two years in advance in a six-month period dramatically. Sylvan is awesome all the way around. When I have a question, they answer pretty quickly. They're really easy to work with. It's easy to understand how the system works. They're a really good company that I would recommend.

My grandson is doing Reading through Sylvan. He had a problem. He couldn't get his words together and the letters would flip on him. He couldn't do the sounds, so he was prekindergarten level when he was in second grade when we started. He's an only child and didn't have a big sister or brother help with the support. We've done all we could do and it wasn't registering. Sylvan did a testing to see where he was at in the beginning and with that, they found out where to start at and saw how much he knew. They found out that he was a right brain learner. So, that's a little slow with comprehending things. They were able to reach him where he was at to make him feel good about what he was learning. Gradually, he started learning.

My son liked going to Sylvan. They worked really well. I did see some improvement in History. But there were some other factors that made me stop. So we didn't finish our goal. Our goal wasn't supposed to stop until the end of August.

I went to Sylvan when I was little, and I chose it because it's in our area and my son needed help with reading. They're using an array of different things. Lucas is dyslexic, so they're using several different things for him. I can't narrow it down to one particular thing. They're using some computer-based programs along with some paper stuff. For phonics, they use a paper-based thing for him. Unfortunately, he's in sixth-grade and he's almost like at a third-grade reading level. He's really behind. So, what they're doing is kind of different for him. We go in monthly and get the breakdown of what they're doing with him for comprehension and for his phonics.

My son went to Sylvan Learning for tutoring classes for reading. He didn't like going to tutoring ‘cause he doesn't like school, but he would say, “It's good.” Sylvan Learning was helpful and I could see a bit of progression on his end. They said that he was active academically and doing well. However, we weren't enrolled that long. I stopped the services ‘cause school’s about to end, so it was pointless. I would return him back to it if he's struggling in the fall.

Sylvan has probably been the best thing, but either way, we're still struggling. We shifted gears through the year because we were trying to get more help with my child's homework than his actual classes. So, we veered from the reading, and then starting this summer, we're gonna go back to focusing on reading. But his homework with his reading goes hand in hand. He's a teenager and he does act excited about going. So, that's significant. He knows it helps. I would recommend Sylvan. The teachers have all been excellent. They're very friendly. The two girls that run it figured out my son's best needs without me saying anything. They'll know when he's with a teacher that is not jiving and they'll be like, "He's not going with that one anymore." He will tell me and they'll already have texted me.

Sylvan has been very good about laying foundational work that my son missed because of the pandemic. I had to do the online approach that Sylvan did because my father lives with us and was very vulnerable with health conditions. The video option was not good for my son because it was his first grade year and he had just gotten out of speech therapy. But Sylvan has been very good at filling back those spaces he missed. They were concerned that he would not be able to get to third grade but he went and he is at above grade level. Dealing with the administrator went wonderfully.

Everything's been good so far in my experience with Sylvan. They answer any questions I have. They're all friendly and helpful, too. My child seems happy and he doesn't complain. It is a little pricey, but it's worth it, to me, if I see improvement in him.

My son is doing reading with Sylvan and it's great. I just had a check in yesterday and he is ahead of schedule. We're going through the process of getting him diagnosed for ADHD, and he's in public school now, so there are lots of distractions and high energy situations. It's been really great to see the small, calm atmosphere prove to be a really helpful tool for him, especially, to do better in that particular subject. I would recommend Sylvan. It's on the higher end of what people can spend and we're fortunate enough to be able to afford that, but I can see how it might not be possible for lots of other people.

Sylvan is focusing on seventh grade math with my son and they've done a great job. He meets with them about three days a week and they help him understand math concepts better, reviewing and talking through the different learning curriculums that he's going through in his current math. My son enjoys it and he thinks that it's been beneficial for him to have a better understanding of the current math he's in at school.

I have two kids with Sylvan and they're both improving and having fan. One looks forward to tutoring and one doesn't. Other than that, the administration has been very helpful and nice.

Sylvan has been great. I've seen a difference in my son's classroom and with focusing on his homework. The sign up process went very well. I had a review time with him. It was an easy process and they explained everything where I could understand. My son loves going to Sylvan. He looks forward to go there. We're focusing more on reading to get him ready for first grade. I will tell a friend to go for Sylvan. I love it. I'm gonna keep my son there until I can afford to, but I'm not planning on taking him out any time soon.

My experience with Sylvan has been great. The director got us in real quick to have the whole consultation and the evaluation of both my kids. He has reached out to the teachers and we filled out the paperwork. My girls love the tutors. They look forward to going in. They have a points system that motivates them a little bit more. The overall building and location is great as well. My oldest daughter's teachers sent us some stuff. I have gone back to Sylvan and told them what she needed a little extra help on. The director reached out to the teachers, had a conversation and adjusted. That's been great, too. She's focusing on what she needs to be focusing on. They've also been accommodating to a couple of cancellations.

Sylvan is doing English and Math with my daughter. They're focused on English and they said she's okay. They just wanted her above okay. But she’s been doing great with testing. They haven't switched over to math because she'll probably take her summer break and then start up when school starts. I'm very happy that when I've had a few family emergencies and we needed to cancel our Saturday, they've always made sure that she would be able to make her days up during the week. I'm very satisfied.

My daughter was going twice a week for the AC T prep, specifically Math. The tutor helped her be more confident and her score increased. It was a positive experience with Sylvan and it was worth it.

They're focusing on math and reading with my child. They've helped him learn how to read. I like that they make the kids want to learn. They help them want to participate more because they make the activities fun. But I wish that they would be able to do two subjects versus just one at a time.

recorded.The tutors from Sylvan have been helping my children with reading and so far, they have improved. It's only been a little over a month and they've had 10 sessions. The tutoring has been helping with their confidence, because they never fight to go. I also feel like they are improving a little bit at school and their i-Ready scores are coming up. Everybody's very nice and personable at Sylvan. They really seem to care about what they do in helping the kids.

I like how Sylvan keeps me informed and that my child enjoys it. It's worth it. They have very good tutors that really captivate kids and keep their attention.

Our daughter is in an individualized education program, or IP, for speech. She struggled in reading a bit and we wanted to catch her up with her peers, especially after the COVID and craziness of trying to learn during that environment and phase of our lives. Sylvan Learning offers additional services, but reading is the only one that we asked for and that they're helping. My daughter loves going and we've seen an improvement. So, it's a win-win-win. I'd highly recommend Sylvan Learning if that's something someone's child needs or if they want. It's worth every penny.

Our Sylvan experience has been great. It's been extremely helpful for my child. The only thing I would recommend with Sylvan is for them to stop making kids wear masks. I don't know why they're still requiring them to wear masks. My kid is a newer English language learner, and part of learning is looking at people's mouth expression. So, I feel like that branch needs to eliminate that. He is doing language, arts, and math. He started in February. He's definitely improving. I probably need to check in with him and see how much he's improved because I know there's some form of assessment they can give me.

I have an older son in 4th grade. My little one is 1st grade. They really hate Kumon. Sylvan is more like a kids-friendly environment, and also focused about mainly the reading comprehension. Still, there are many days when they're like, "Mommy, do I have to go there," but I can see, reading comprehension-wise, they're getting more focused to what they're supposed to be. So, we would definitely continue. It's a little costly than other programs, but I will pay for more high-quality tutoring than regular Kumon where you just sit down, drill, and go over and over. Sylvan has more high-quality teachers. It's a better choice.

I wish I had done Sylvan a long time ago. It was a very positive experience. My son looks forward to going to Sylvan. He has a lot more confidence now. He now understands the things that he struggled to understand.

My son needed some help and I was looking at some options, like private tutoring. I wanted to give Sylvan Learning Centers a try and we are very happy with it. The main focus was on reading and all these different learning methods to teach the children how to pronounce words. My son has made very good progress and he's doing very well with the program. And he enjoys it.

My son needed some help with reading comprehension. We did a preliminary test with Sylvan Learning Centers and we already had gone in with what we wanted and they worked with my son through succession. He has improved.

My kids need tutoring in reading and writing. They've been going to Sylvan for almost three months now and so far, Sylvan has been good. I see my kids improve plus, they focus and understand a lot. I recommend it.

Sylvan was closest to us. I did the search on Google and then I looked at the reviews, and I thought it was a good program. Then it was confirmed when we talked to him, it seemed like it would fit us. I asked him to focus on reading. They tested him, and they gave us what they thought his levels were. It's working out well for him. He does tell us a bit. They explain things. They do a little bit of homework help. It is a good experience. I do like that they reach out to me to meet so we could talk about my son's progress.

I was a Sylvan student 25 years ago and it helped me tremendously. I was in third grade and could not read. And after the summer that I spent at Sylvan, I ended up going to college for teaching English. And I am a prolific reader. So, I knew whenever other people had recommended other things and I said, "If Sylvan isn't still around, we'll go somewhere else. But if Sylvan is an option, that's definitely my first choice." So, when I realized that my boys needed a supplement, we looked up and found out that the Sylvan in our area is still owned by the same family that managed it when I was there 25 years ago. So, I called and got my boys signed up. We love it.

Sylvan was very flexible and helped do the enrollment via email and things to make it easy. The tutor helped my daughter with homework completion and to explain concepts. Now, my daughter feels more confident, and she's happier and not failing. My interaction with the staff is very limited because of my schedule and typically done via email and on the phone now and then. But it's always been very positive. People should go for Sylvan. It’s worth it.

I liked the way Sylvan presented themselves. They're better for my daughter because she's got a lot of issues. The two that I requested are math and language arts, and that's what they do. She loves going. She likes her teacher.

My child is doing reading and math with Sylvan. She's been going off and on for the last two to three years. Right now, she's in 10th grade. We took a break this summer and when the school year started, she wanted to try and see how she does without it. It was going okay but now that she's gone back, it's better with her grades and understanding. Overall, she loves it. I enjoy Sylvan. Their communication and interaction with the parents when they do the overall review and feedback is awesome.

One particular tutor is excellent. My daughter had several other interactions, and one of those interactions, the person was a bit quiet. But overall, the facility is awesome and full of people that are super smart and ready to help. So, I couldn't be happier with Sylvan Learning Centers. When my daughter went in there, she had a 2.2 and Algebra was sinking her ship. So, I knew that if I could get her help in that, it would bring up the other grades and take the pressure off of her so that she had more time to spend with the other subjects. She has three 4s now. It's expensive, so I'm blessed enough to be able to send her there. But you get what you pay.

There's genuine engagement from Sylvan. The tutor's focus on my daughter has been in Math and English. The main thing right now is she's getting her homework done and overall, her learning has improved. Her confidence is higher and she feels better about herself because she's doing her work and turning it in. I would recommend Sylvan to others. They're attentive and in contact with me as well as with my daughter's teachers. We only started in early January and we've had a really good two-month checkup on how things are going and how can we do certain things differently. We shifted some things and they're listening.

It's going great with Sylvan. We're using it for reading for both of my kids, and it's making a difference. They keep the same schedule which is what I need.

I like Sylvan because I took my grandson and he excels. He’s first of the list now. When my granddaughter went there, they were so nice and treated her good, and she just fell in love with them. So, I said, “I won't let her just take tutoring so she can be learning.” At first, I didn't know they became a certified school, then I decided to let her go to the school. My granddaughter is just in kindergarten, but she loves Sylvan Learning. She got in the car the other day and said “I had the best day ever.” I didn't let her start going till January, but she's learning.

Lee who runs Sylvan in Essex is an incredible individual. She is so engaging with the kids. She's funny and smart. Tommy, my son, has asked several times if Miss Lee could be his teacher in school, and why he can't only go see Miss Lee. We stuck with Sylvan mostly due to her. She's so quick. She was emailing me three times last night. She has never left a single email hanging for more than 24 hours. She does an excellent job. The classroom setting that they have there is lovely. The way they have a store set up for points has kept my son engaged. Sylvan has been extremely helpful. His school is so impressed.

So far, we're happy with Sylvan. My son only had a few classes, but it seems to be helping, and they're very accommodating. He's been to six classes so far now. He goes in there not understanding whatever problem he did that day at school, and he comes home with a better understanding of it once he's taken that class. I met a couple of Sylvan's staff face-to-face and then through text messages. They're always accommodating and quick to reply, and they've been great. I would recommend Sylvan. I think it doesn't hurt to try. If the child is willing, then you have to take advantage of it.

We've improved both skills and confidence with reading in the couple of weeks we've been going to Sylvan. Our daughter loves it. One of her favorite things to do is to go to Sylvan twice a week. I have recommended Sylvan to a few friends for their children who are struggling.

We asked for the homework help from Sylvan. Everything ran smoothly. They explained everything easily. My son says he likes the guy there. It seems the program's been good, but I haven't seen any improvement. All I get are complaints from my son.

Sylvan has been very flexible. If my son is sick or we've got millions of snowstorms, they either do it on Zoom or just reschedule. My child's tutor helps him to understand what he couldn’t understand from his real teacher. So, he understands better.

My son and daughter are both going, and they're in the same Math class. It’s for honors Algebra two and Precalculus. My kids have crazy schedules, and I frequently have to change their dates, and the rep is accommodating. Also, I like that Sylvan is very helpful with working through homework and strategy, understanding the concept, and reviewing with them when there's a test coming. My children's grades have gone up. The cost is high. But because it helps the kids and they see the results, we're happy to pay it.

Right now, my child is just doing reading with Sylvan because that's all we can afford. Her main subject that she was needing it for was math, but she does struggle with reading. So, they're doing reading, but she's getting extra help in school too. She likes the tutors at Sylvan. The only thing is she doesn't like to get up earlier and do it but once she gets started, she does like the teachers. I like that they do keep me involved with her progress. I haven't talked to her teachers, but the guy that's in charge of her has reached out to me. He'll text me and he's allowed me to text back if I have any other questions. We did realize that she still is struggling. They're gonna put her in another program at school where she can be in a lower class setting because she can't concentrate. I noticed she's doing good on her tutoring. She's making good grades.

We're using Sylvan because my daughter was a little behind in some subjects in school. She's in 2nd grade, but she was and is working on some items from kindergarten and 1st grade. So far, she's doing great and loving the staff. They're sweet and kind to her and make her feel welcome. She's in a good mood when she goes in and when she comes out. No kid wants to go to school all day then turn around in the evening and go to tutoring. My daughter is still young. She's seven, so she just wants to go home, hang out and play. But Sylvan makes the experience fun for her to where she enjoys it and she feels good. I can see a difference in how she approaches homework now from where we were before we started Sylvan. She feels more confident in what she's doing than what she had previously. That makes me feel well about the whole thing.

We've been using Sylvan for the past three months. My daughter is going there to be better with her foundations in math skills. She's become more focused on math now, and her foundation has really become better. She's understanding the concepts even more well. She's also applying it at home sometimes. She usually gets bored of anything. Even in school, she doesn't want to repeat it for longer. But so far, she's been pretty interested in Sylvan. She likes the way she's being taught. The one-to-one tutoring is a new experience for her and she's enjoying it.

My child has made major improvements and he always says that he enjoys going. It's been a good experience with Sylvan. The scheduling has been easy and the people have been nice. The program itself seems to be working because my child has come up grade levels in math and his scores on his tests have improved tremendously. So we're happy. I’m impressed with the people’s professionalism and kindness. When I'm sending my child somewhere, I wanna make sure that the people there are treating him in the best way possible, and supporting him and not making him feel bad if he doesn't know an answer, just there to help him and care. So that's special. If people want their child to improve, Sylvan is a great investment.

We've been part of Sylvan for just a little over three months and we have already seen huge improvements in our child's confidence, her academic development, and what she's learning and understanding in school. It is the best decision we made to go ahead and sign her up for Sylvan. It has helped her tremendously. She's in 1st grade and right now, it's a lot of reading and comprehension that she's doing. In the next week or two, they're gonna start implementing math in there. It's been great. She also loves going to Sylvan which is a shocker, because she used to dread school. I don't know what it is, but it's working.

Sylvan is a better choice. They're more hands-on. He's more involved in school and enjoys it more.

It was very easy to get my granddaughter tested and set up with the tutor. She said she really likes her tutors. Sylvan communicates with the emails. Her mom gets a lot of the communication as well. But the cost is very expensive.

Everything was cool. I only dealt with the director and she was nice. She was very knowledgeable, so she was good. I got twins going two times a week and Sylvan is very good. The only negative thing is they are super expensive.

Even though it's a drive, we take our granddaughter three days a week to Sylvan and it's been worth it. On Tuesdays, she does an hour of reading and an hour of math. On Wednesdays, she does all reading for two hours. On Thursdays, she does an hour of reading and an hour of math. The reading was the major thing she needed because it was what was messing her up in math also. She hasn't been doing it long enough for us to see a gigantic improvement, but it has helped a lot. We like the way they have the learning experience set up. Our granddaughter seems to enjoy it. We thought by now that she would be fighting us about going, but she's not. The people are friendly. They're very careful with the kids which I like. They're very good at finding ways to incentivize the children.

Sylvan Learning goes to my son's school, so it's convenient. And it's affordable. My son feels comfortable with it. We've only been doing the tutoring for a short time, but it's not as big of a struggle with homework.

At Sylvan, it seems like my son is getting more understanding how to do his math and assignments. Right now, he's doing algebra and when I asked him feedback, he said that he's understanding that when his teacher teaches algebra. Also, I've met the coordinator and she seems very nice and accommodating. I would recommend Sylvan if someone needed tutoring for their son or daughter.

My son is now more confident with his homework and getting it done in a more timely fashion. The experience has been good for him. Also, the ladies at the facility are very quick to respond to my texts and phone calls and explain any payment situations. They're very pleasant to deal with.

So far, everything's going good. Sylvan Learning keeps in contact with me with different aspects of the program and they've been doing good with my daughter. She's doing a lot better. I'd tell people to consider Sylvan Learning.

Sylvan Learning has a rewards system where the students have to get so many points. Once they get a certain amount of points, they can get a prize. My daughter is excited about it. She is in second grade, and at first, her tutoring was for reading then we switched to math. I haven't heard about math yet, but she improved significantly in reading. Sylvan Learning is good.

So far, Sylvan has been great. I used them in the past for my niece and nephew and I was pleased with them. This time, I enrolled my son and he's been doing good in class. He's a bit more focused. I spoke to the person who calls for my assessments on the phone, as well as the lady in charge and that's been great.

Everything is good with Sylvan. My daughter loves Sylvan a lot as well. She gets up in the morning with no hassle, and she likes to go. They did an assessment test on her a couple of weeks ago, and they said that went well. She loves her teachers there to death. They're focusing more on her reading, because she's a 3rd grader and she's on the 1st grade reading level. She's doing really good. I ask all the time, and they tell me, "No, she likes to do that on her own." She didn't like to do that before. The lady that runs the place is very helpful with a lot of the stuff there. When I have any questions, she's there to help me all the time.

Sylvan is working on the reading comprehension of my son. He's understanding the material well and we could understand what the expectations are. Some of the things they go over, he already has knowledge of, but I understand they're building that. So far, I'm pretty happy with the progress. But the earliest that the tutoring starts is at 3:30 and if there was an option to do things during the day, that would be amazing for people like me who are wanting extra tutoring for their kiddos, but would love to have it done during the day. The evenings can be tough, especially since I don't live close to there. So, I'm always hitting the 5:00 traffic coming back.

One of my friends used Sylvan for their son and she liked it a lot and my sister had used it as well. So now, my son is a client there. They have star testing at his school for their standardized test and that's how Sylvan goes about with their placement tool. So, I picked them because it was similar to the school in which he was going to. He's gotten more confident in his abilities with math. He's able to find the answers faster. So, those are the ways in which it's improved. Sylvan has great customer service. They've been very transparent and very helpful anytime I have a question or I need schedule change. It's been a very positive experience. It's been very helpful in my son's educational journey.

Sylvan is amazing. They are kind, easy and super fun to work with. They are also really patient and super fun to work with. I will always turn to Sylvan with any learning needs. They are truly amazing. I absolutely recommend.

My daughter goes to Sylvan for math and s far it's going good. The cost is a little pricey, but the quality is good. They're doing a great job.

It has been a good three months with Sylvan. My son's in third grade. It will go on till I feel he's comfortable doing whatever school work he's doing. He is on the autism spectrum where he's on a very high functioning side of the spectrum, with little bit of delay in language and reading. He's picking up on it, and he's growing out of the disability. Most of his services are gone except the comprehension part where he struggles. No other therapy system would consider him on the autism spectrum. Most therapies wouldn't work for him. They're not challenging enough for him. I had to find a set up which was for a normal kid in a normal classroom, but would cater to my son's needs.

My child's tutor from Sylvan Learning seems very helpful. My daughter really likes her learning experience. She’s really looking forward to earn points, and it's very motivating. So, it was a good experience for her. She really looks forward going there.

My son struggles with school a lot. He sometimes will cry when he has to go to school. But he looks forward to go to tutoring with Sylvan. He loves it. It's so nice for us because he struggled so much with school. He hates it so much that when we tell him that it's time for tutoring, he says, "Okay. All right. Yeah, I'll get my shoes and my coat. Let's go." He definitely has improved a lot since we started going to Sylvan. Even his reading has improved so much since we started going. Everyone that I've come across so far at Sylvan has been very nice. They always are happy to see us and my son. So everyone there is awesome.

My son's geometry grade is coming up. Whatever Sylvan is doing has been helpful. It gives him confidence in Math and he's doing a lot better.

My child got more confidence in the area. She has always liked Math, but it has been a struggle. Her grades have improved. Going with Sylvan is worth it.

My son is doing reading and language with Sylvan and he is getting the one-on-one that he needs. He is making some improvement and they're following up with his teachers, which is quite good. Also, I'm able to make suggestions and I'm more involved in whatever they're doing to try to get him back to his level. With the other service that we used, the tutor came to my house but I was not getting a good enough feedback. Aside from that, Sylvan is following the school curriculum, while the other person that I was using was just doing a general essay writing. Investing in your child's education is key. Sylvan is a little bit pricier, but you’re getting value for your money.

I decided to try Sylvan out at the end of last year for my 11-year-old. We initially went in for reading. So far, his grades have tremendously gotten better. He's always trying to read billboards and different signs on the wall. He enjoys school better now. Sylvan is very costly but I would tell others to give them a try.

My son said he got a lot of help from learning from Sylvan. He's in fourth grade and he's just taking English writing. He got a lot of confidence in writing right now after learning from Sylvan. So, I just want to keep going with his learning. I'm satisfied with the program.

My daughter was trying to get a higher score on her SAT. Since going to Sylvan, her score did improve from the first assessment to the second when we completed. But Sylvan should offer an option to put it out there and see how successful it is with doing something virtual. I had to drive an hour because that was the closest center.

Our son is so behind and we didn't want private. He needed structure. My sister had used Sylvan for her kids and she's a teacher. So, with my sister being a teacher, we knew that Sylvan was one of the better ones to use. My son is really behind in sight words. So he's focusing in reading. It's really gotten him a confidence builder at this point and it's seen him grow. Our son has ADHD and has a form of dyslexia where he sees shadowing. We got him the prism glasses, so that's helped. Sylvan's really given him the confidence that he's really needed.

I let my child go to Sylvan, Mathnasium, and some other one, and she wanted to go to Sylvan. She said she felt more comfortable there. After many hours, we do a meeting. They show me how she moves up. And she's not a normal statistic kid. She's way behind. But Sylvan is a good place to build your children's confidence.

I have two kids going to Sylvan. They started in October. Today, I had my second review of what they're doing. They go four times a week, and they're doing really well. Their reading has improved tremendously. The older one is writing in full sentences now and she's understanding what she's reading better. The younger one is able to sound out things and understand the words, like when you have short vowels and long vowels and when to use them. I like Sylvan. I'm super pleased with it.

My grandson is in the kindergarten, and his teacher wasn't up to par. As I brought him to Sylvan, after three weeks, he started doing much better. And now the teachers are bragging on him, saying he's the only kid in the room who can fluently read. She asked me if he gets extra help at home. I told her no siblings are doing it for him. So, she said that Sylvan is doing a very good job with him. They had tested him and he had scored gifted. At first, he was nowhere near it. So, he's doing wonders with Sylvan. They brought him up to level. He and my granddaughter who went to Sylvan three years ago are doing well in school, keeping up, above every other child in their classroom. I am very satisfied. I recommended Sylvan to other people I know.

The tutor from Sylvan helped us to get my son pay attention at home and do his homework. He lives with his mom and she works a weird schedule, so I'm doing the best I can to try to get him on track. He struggles in math, but half of it is he don't put in the time after school. If he was with me, I will be on him more, but I stay in Wisconsin, he stays in Illinois, and it's a 45-minute commute so it's not working, too. It's not easy to me just stopping by. I drop him off at Sylvan, and he enjoys going when he does go. He has to go when he’s failing. If he’s failed, he's not gonna have a reward. When he's failing, he'll let me know but once he can get it up to par, then he'll not wanna go. When he goes, though, he gets his grades up.

The learning experience with Sylvan was good. They were focusing on reading. It's a good thing but I don't know if it's affordable. It's a little expensive so we had to pause it for a little bit. But we want to put them back in the summer.

One day, I realized that my son needed help in school, and I decided to go in and see what the criteria are so that they can provide help. He needed to focus in reading and math and they helped tremendously. He’s showing improvement in school now. I would recommend Sylvan to anyone that asked me about their services. They're very flexible.

My daughter needed some extra help with school, mostly reading and expressive writing with Math filling in. Her tutor at Sylvan Learning has been doing really well. Since we enrolled her there, she has had a more positive outlook on school. There's also been an improvement in grades and she's showing more confidence level in reading. We moved from Rapid City to Brookings, and I was concerned in the beginning that we wouldn't get the same experience in Brookings that we had in Rapid. But across the board, it has been a very positive environment and learning experience for my daughter. Sylvan Leaning is well worth your time, money, and effort.

Our experiences have been very positive. Our daughter has grown a lot in self-confidence and in her attitude towards Math since she started at Sylvan. It doesn't bore or disinterest her anymore She is somebody who needs to be in person rather than online in order to get the maximum benefit from a learning experience. Both times, we've been very satisfied with Sylvan. She has had very positive interactions with her tutors and she is quite happy going there.

My son went through Algebra through COVID online, which was horrible. He didn't learn anything. A year went by and he got put into Algebra 2. He had so many holes in his Algebra education that he was drowning. With the way Sylvan does their evaluation, they were able to pinpoint what holes he had so that they could focus on those. They worked with his teachers to make sure that what he was learning at that time, he also had homework support. Everything was phenomenal and my son adored the tutors. He said they were "wicked smart". The way they were explaining it was night and day compared to what the teacher was trying to explain in school.

I would recommend Sylvan to anybody struggling with their children. My son went to Sylvan when he was in high school. That was a good turnout for him because it helped him with his math and reading. Now, it's my granddaughter that I have in there for reading. She looks forward to going. They're very patient with the children. They tend to their needs and what they're doing. I've talked to other parents that asked me if I see improvement with my granddaughter, and they said they've seen a lot of improvements on their children. The only thing is Sylvan should have the same tutor all the time because then they'll know the children's weaknesses and strengths. I had asked the main coordinator there how does one person know from one week to another how a child's doing. They said they tap it in the computer every time they work with them.

I liked the flexibility of Sylvan. My kid is really busy with sports and I knew that Sylvan offered tried and true methods of looking at the biometrics of how a kid takes a test. We take the next ACT in February and we really need to up that score a little bit. I'm anxious to see how it pans out. Sylvan has helped with my daughter's confidence. She feels like when she goes there, she's in a really safe environment to ask all the questions with no social consequences in front of her peers. I'm a teacher so I get that. Content-wise, they give them a big homework to bring home and I hope we're keeping up with it. Sylvan has provided help in areas such as skills, reading, reading tips, habits, and basic test-taking strategies.

My daughter's enjoying Sylvan. We seem to be seeing a lot of improvement, so it's been going well. She likes to go and has been asking if she could go there for more days. She doesn't seem to find it to be like school. The tutor is flexible. We're starting on reading now. We're also trying to progress to math.

When my son was younger, I took him to Sylvan for some ELA tune-up, and I was very happy with the work that they did. I was very happy with the director too. When it came time for more difficult math that I could no longer help him with, I decided to go back to Sylvan. I like the new director and the tutor is awesome. We're very happy.

My child's doing Mathematics with Sylvan and is progressing very well. Sylvan is helpful. The tutors and their teaching styles are very effective.

Our child is with them for reading, pronunciation, and phonics. My daughter has doubled her effort and she has liked the teachers. It was exponential growth right off the bat. They have incredible staff who are very personable, friendly, and caring. They know my daughter and they actually care. Our success becomes their success. I'm very, very happy with them. Sylvan is highly effective and it's worth it. If it was up to me, I'd be doing twice the amount I do now.

My son feels comfortable with the tutors. He's been very happy going and finds learning there enjoyable. Their guy Scott, who has been there, has been wonderful and very helpful.

Sylvan is wonderful. They taught me how to read. I couldn't read or spell all the way up until I was like in sixth grade and they helped me tremendously. It's a great experience considering that you get to pick your own time. It's also very effective considering the fact that if you pay for private school, you're still not getting effective learning one-on-one. My child was enrolled for Math. They interviewed me and asked me about what she needs. They were very helpful and it was a shame I had to take her out because I couldn't get her motivated to go.

They work with my child on reading. Now he is more confident trying to read different things. He looks forward to going and it's not a battle to get him to go. He also likes everyone that he works with. If something hasn't gone well, I give Sylvan feedback and they adjust how they schedule my child.

They do reading and literature with my child and they give me a summary of how they're doing every 18 sessions. That's really helpful to see what proficiencies they've mastered and the next ones that they're working on. Darcy and another front office lady are awesome. They're always smiling and saying something really beautiful about any of the kiddos who have talked to them. The program is working, but it is a time and money investment.

My son does reading with them and there is improvement. I've recommended Sylvan to several people.

Sylvan is focusing on reading and writing for my son who is in first grade. I'm very satisfied with them. We had our first assessment and it was fine. This is our second month. We're seeing how my son is developing and the little bit of progress. Hopefully, it'll continue. He goes there once a week for two hours. He likes going there. It is a little pricey but we're paying for it because we care about my son's education. It's an investment.

My daughter's working on phonics and reading. She's very happy to go to Sylvan and she enjoys it and she's not resisting. She's approaching reading better. I'm not regretting my decision. They're really great.

We've been using Sylvan for a month and a half now. Our experience has been excellent. My daughter loves them more than school. Her subjects are reading and math and I've seen significant improvement. She picks up a lot better. They've also had really good communication. They're super great. I love them. We're gonna continue using them. When our second child goes to school, we'll enroll him also.

My daughter struggled in school. Especially after COVID, we wanna make sure she has the best opportunities to succeed. We had joined Sylvan right before COVID and then COVID hit. Then there was a snafu that we got lost in the system. They were gracious enough to bring us back on and take care of it. So, we re-upped for her. She's enjoying it. She's getting the help that she needs currently. She doesn’t give us a hard time when it's time to go. Their staff is also nice. Everybody's pleasant. She’s had a good experience.

We've been going to Sylvan for two months now. My son fights almost every time to go, but he leaves pretty satisfied.

We decided to enroll at Sylvan for Reading and English language because our daughter's falling behind at her grade level. Their service has been really well. We've been pleased. Their cost is a little high, though.

Sylvan is really nice and they're focused on getting these kids that are so behind catch up. We've been there for four months now and my son did a 360. He only goes four hours a week and then I do the rest at home. They do reading, math, and cursive, and then I do Social Studies and Science. It's one-on-one and they really work with him and they really want him to get caught up. It's great if you can afford it because it is a little pricey also.

My child, Nora, struggled with math. COVID did not help that situation. With Sylvan's assessment and with the instruction that they've received so far, we found out there are probably more gaps than we were aware of in Nora's math ability and we're doing the current stuff, but trying to rebuild that foundation. Nora enjoys it and likes going. So, it's been a very positive experience. Sylvan can provide the tools to help fill in gaps in different abilities. I've been very pleased so far and it's been an enjoyable experience. Hopefully, as these gaps get filled in better, we see even better results. We haven't seen great results yet, which is understandable because there are so many gaps to fill in. So, I'm excited to see the progress as we move forward through this school year.

Sylvan helped our grandson learn how to sound out words phonetically and it's been a good experience for him. If you can afford it, sign up if your child is struggling. The director was very helpful.

We have a foreign exchange student from China, and their first year is always the hardest. They learn basic English but then, when you throw in words from chemistry and words from US history and all these big words, you're like a deer in headlights. So, we started seeing that the writing was on the wall. He's gonna need some more help. I went online, looked around, and my daughter-in-law said that she has used Sylvan for a number of things for her daughter when she lived in Texas. We had another option and we could have done that, but it was much farther away. Sylvan was close so we went with them. We were just gonna see how it would go and he really liked it. We were doing it two days a week, and then we were like, "Okay, we need more." They had availability for two more days. So now, he's doing it Monday through Thursday and sometimes on Saturday if he's got a project coming up or something where he needs that.

The tutor focuses on reading with my child. They did really well and it was a good experience. My daughter has learned quite a few new skills. We really only stopped going to Sylvan because she was going to get tutoring from school now for free, so we didn't finish the program. But while she was in it, she was doing really well. Sylvan has really good tutors and they have a good program in place.

My grandson was behind in school, which is why the tutoring service is wonderful. Through to no fault of his own, he is in the fifth grade. He had never attended kindergarten, first grade nor second grade. So, he was way behind. And with Sylvan helping, he's able to keep up with the grade that he's in. He just started last summer and everything has picked up. So, it's awesome. He loves Sylvan. Whenever it's time to go, he wants to go even throughout the summertime. There's no problem with communication with the tutors, if there's anything I need them to help him with, besides what they're working on. In reference to the help that he's getting and what Sylvan is doing, the price is fair and for the work that they're doing, definite.

My son needed some extra help with Writing and Math but he wasn't giving it his all. He wasn't into it. When school started, there was no way I could do both. I'm blaming my son. But part of the problem why you go to Sylvan is because your child struggles and I didn't get what I was looking for out of it. Sylvan has good intentions. They start with the basics and move forward but with my son’s attitude, it didn't help. It was a lot of money but he didn't get anything out of it. He's gotten more out of a month of school than he got there. We're no longer going to Sylvan and I wouldn't do it again. My son was not very cooperative. It was not a good experience for me but I wouldn't blame Sylvan for that.

My son was very far behind on math and reading. So far, it's improving with Sylvan and they're closing the gap for sure. They're definitely worth it.

We started Sylvan because my son doesn't do well with his assessment. They've been focusing on reading for him. We started at the kindergarten level. He's a third grader right now, and they've been working through all the basics and making sure he has them down. He knows all of the rules and how things work, but they are making sure that he can apply them. My son is in a small group, about three people, with one teacher. He has a tablet that he uses, and the teacher is interacting with him as well. The incentives are cheesy little stuff, but the students love it, so if that's what works, that's fine.

The experience was good. My daughter took two reading tutoring classes a week for eight weeks during the summer. Communication was good with the tutor and the gentleman who helped me with the scheduling. Also, it was as affordable as could be. My daughter interacted well with the teacher and took in a lot of it. It was good for her. I saw a difference in her with just the two days a week on being tutored for those eight weeks.

My daughter enjoyed the learning experience. She likes being able to do well and that results in her getting a reward within the day with her points if she has enough.

We have our daughter with Sylvan for English and Writing. They've been able to help improve on that area very much. She has learned a lot in the two months that she’s been going. Every time that she finishes her classes, she’s happy and comfortable with what she learned. It’s very good opportunity to have children go to Sylvan because it supports where they have issues with at school. It's also another support that they can have with another teacher.

Sylvan has better results and they have their own plan. That's what my nieces needed the most. I needed somebody who knew what they were doing. Sylvan also has certified teachers. One tutor for my oldest niece encourages her to be confident with her answers and to stop second-guessing herself, which I appreciate because she has struggled with that. Most of them have been enthusiastic and open to helping my nieces.

They do a fabulous job and you should give them a try. They make the experience fun for my granddaughter. She's reading a little bit better. They do a lot of one-on-one tutoring with her. Also, she’s really motivated by the tokens. Being able to get a prize is a big deal when you're seven. Additionally, communication is great and they're easy to work with.

Overall, my child's experience was great. But there was some confusion when I gave her the wrong practicetest at one point and she missed one of the opportunities to take a practice test. She had to do the replacement ACT at home but she never really did that. She had to find another time to do it. It was hard to cram it all in.

My daughter loved the tutoring. Their director Ms. Julia was phenomenal and the staff was extremely friendly, productive and efficient with everything. I only put her through the summer program and now she’s way beyond first grade. I highly recommend them.

I use Sylvan for my grandkids. I have a granddaughter who was going into 8th grade, and she was testing at a 4th-grade level. They helped her quite a bit. With the other two who we're testing closer to their grade level, they did not help so much.

It's going well with them. My daughter goes twice a week for reading. She just got tested at school for her reading and said that she's where she's supposed to be, when before she was behind. we're gonna continue doing twice a week until she's where she's supposed to be at or above where she's supposed to be at. She now knows more sight words.

I have two daughters in Sylvan and they're doing well. The experience so far has been very pleasant. Their rep is professional and she runs a really good organization from everything I've seen so far. The girls are very positive about the progress. But Sylvan is so busy because of COVID and everything else that if my daughters are not able to make on Tuesday or Thursday, there really isn't a whole lot of other available options on any other days because they're so booked.

My son is loving Sylvan and I am seeing a little more confidence in him. He loves Math but he was having issues with it. He's only doing the Reading at Sylvan right now but I'm seeing that there was one where he had to work with decimals and he was excited about it. He went on doing it and did it on his own. So, I liked that. Every time I asked him how the session with Sylvan went, he said, “Great.” After so many sessions, they said he would have a progress report but I haven't gotten that yet. I’ve gotten it once so maybe it's coming up. I'll be probably asking them when that will be happening the next time I speak with them. The only problem I have is the cost because right now, I'm not working. I'm trying to find a job to help with that. I'm trying to continue to have him going.

They could lower the price but they are worth a try.

My daughter's super smart but has trouble concentrating on schoolwork. We feel Sylvan is helping, because all of our other options, the public school tutoring and the others were like, "We will help you with your homework," or "We will help you with what you're learning currently." But a lot of people really don't understand when a puzzle is trying to get put together and there are pieces missing. They just try to get to the area of the puzzle that's currently being worked on and they overlook some of these gaps that happen. But Sylvan seems to be best equipped in understanding that.

My son's doing the reading in the first grade level and so far, it's been great. We can tell that he's mastering his skills. Sylvan has been helpful and accommodating. It's a very loving and nurturing environment. All the teachers are great here at the Jackson location. For what you're getting and what you're paying for, it's fine.

Two grandchildren are doing Math and Reading with Sylvan. It's very good. It's done them a world of good. We've been doing it for about seven months and twice a week. My granddaughter was very behind and now, she's getting caught up. It's helped my grandson a lot for third grade. Annette and another lady that runs the place are very nice and helpful. If we need to get an excused absence, there's no problem. They're excellent. My interactions are great.

Sylvan is right up the street from me. And I’ve heard and seen a lot of good things about them. I felt better that my Cadence would have better learning if it was in person. She said it’s easy so far. And she enjoys getting the little awards, like a Wawa gift card for Starbucks.

They do a pretty good job. They are helping our kid and they're doing a good job about communicating. They give us a report card every month, so that's good.

We started in July and I can see that he's improving. He loves Sylvan and it’s a good price. Sylvan made it convenient for my schedule. I work during the weekdays and he can go in on Saturdays. So they do work with us.

Sylvan offers an excellent program, and they were willing to help Haley, our developmentally delayed child, who went to kindergarten. They passed her to first grade. I started noticing things and took Sylvan Learning Haley's background, brought them all the paperwork, and the teacher said, “You bring her to us.” It's the best decision I made. Haley really likes it there. She goes right in, sits down and there’s no argument about it. She likes the tutors. She likes Anita and the men she works with. Haley is a little behind in some things, and other things, she's accelerating in. She's maturing. She knows all her numbers, but reading is still hard for her so they're working on it.

Our daughter was running a little behind kindergarten. She needed to learn how to read, and Sylvan Learning made a program for her. They started from ground zero and brought her all the way up to the level of kindergarten. She's in first grade, and they’re continuing the process with her. She loves it, and we've got another 40 hours with them. It’s a lot of group and one-on-one sessions, and she’s learning. I can see a difference, and I would tell friends, “Hey, it’s good. It’s for your kid. It's worth it." One thing though, it's very good to get rewarded for things you do, but I don't think you should be rewarded for everything. It keeps the kid honest to the schoolwork and not just based on the reward.

I'm trying to get my son into computers because he's good at gaming. He did a week in June and a week in July for the robotics camp. I thought that would be something he'd be interested in, and he seemed to enjoy it. He wanted to do it again. He's autistic and that helped him out a lot. The teacher was nice. He explained some of the things that they were doing. If your kid is interested in coding or robotics or gaming, I would suggest going to Sylvan Learning Center ‘cause they work great with my son. The fact they know how to deal with kids of different types of disabilities is great.

My kids love Sylvan than where they used to go before. The tutor at Sylvan is working based on students’ knowledge. They help them understand why they miss. My kids love that part. I’m going to stick with Sylvan.

Sylvan's staff there at the Arlington Mansfield location, Danny, was superior to anyone that we spoke with. That location is doing a great job. We're thrilled. There's a lot of communication. My granddaughter loves Sylvan. She is so much more confident. I'm sure her grades are going to be much better this coming school year.

My son is responding to Sylvan very well. He used to cry every time we would mention writing or reading. But he got in the car the other day and said, “How long do I have to do this? I'm rocking it.” I was impressed with that. However, although we can look his progress up on Sylvan's website, a little more personal interaction about what he's doing and how he's doing would be helpful to me.

So far, Sylvan has been good for my granddaughter. They're focusing on Math and English. She's only been going for eight sessions but so far, I see improvement.

My mother-in-law uses Sylvan for my nephew. I also checked Google and the reviews, and I visited the center and liked the environment. I heard good things about the center, so I decided to put my son there and, really, it's helping him a lot. He has learned his five words and he needs to learn more, but he just graduated from kinder. The tutor has practiced a lot with him about the sounds on the letters, and right now, all the letters are put together, so he can start reading more. I really trust the tutor. Sometimes I talk with her and she tells me what she's doing. I also have a meeting with the director every month to discuss the progress for my son, and I like it. I'm very happy with everything.

My child did well with her ACT prep. She enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend Sylvan Learning.

Sylvan Learning is good choice to make. Within one month, they had my son reading and it was awesome. We had a great experience, overall, with everything.

Sylvan is helping my daughter with reading comprehension and it has been great. They're very responsive, and they target my daughter's plan to what her needs are. They focus one on one with her, and it's really helped her. She has overall improved with letter recognition and reading. The students also get points or tokens and if they earn enough, they can buy something from the prize. My daughter loves it.

Sylvan was an absolutely great experience for my daughter. We've already completed the tutoring and she was able to get up at least a grade and a half ahead of where she was. If your child needs some assistance with school, it's absolutely a great resource. They do a great job and I would highly recommend them.

Sylvan said my son is good. But we are not happy about the progress. We didn’t see a big progress. We led them to focus on reading and writing. But I've never seen that he's writing in the class. Everything is in the computer, like rhymes. It said he’s reading, but I have never seen that in the writing. We are planning to change. Because we are paying a lot of money, but my son is not that happy. He said he's not learning that much. Sylvan doesn’t focus into his weaknesses. I thought they would do an assessment and attention based on the results. Apparently, they don't do that. He's working with me and his dad. Plus, his class teacher is helping him a lot. We already paid $3,000, up close to $50 per hour. But we have still more hours.

We're doing mainly reading and writing. It has been great. I would highly recommend Sylvan.

Sylvan was closer to the house. My child went for ACT preparation and it was great. Her score went up a lot. I communicated with Rachel via email or phone and in-person. She's in charge of the office. It was great.

My daughter went with Sylvan for reading comprehension and math, and it was a good experience. She needed help with geometry. They stayed focused on the different levels of algebra to get to geometry. At one time, they had people who weren't focused on it so I talked to the acting lead people, and they said that they would make sure only people that would address her would be those who knew geometry. This one person didn't know geometry. Overall, Sylvan is good. They will help your child improve in whatever subject they need to be improved in.

My son’s experience at Sylvan was phenomenal. His teacher was caring, nurturing, and never complained once. My son was fifth grade, and he was there for Math. We stopped going mainly for we were starting Brain Balance. Easily done whenever I had to cancel, or move. Sylvan was accommodating of the times. I would recommend them to anybody.

I knew that Sylvan would be my best option. Going with them was the best decision that I could have made. They helped Marion in every area that he needed help in. His Math, Reading, everything has been a tremendous jump. If I had to do it all over again, I will still choose Sylvan. Sylvan is a program that I refer a lot of people to who went through the same type of things I did within the difference in our kids with their whole learning. For them losing so much of their information that they have learned to a little time that haven't been at school. If I can rate Sylvan, I'm gonna rate them with 1,000. They're wonderful.

Sylvan Learning helped my child improve in reading. I had a good experience.

I like Sylvan. We had used a competitor and they were not quite as good as Sylvan. Sylvan helped my son in writing as far as organizing his thoughts on paper.

The tutor works on whatever my daughter brings in like homework and if she doesn’t have any of that, she goes over that sort of thing. My daughter likes the way her tutor explains and likes going to Sylvan. The experience has been positive and that if anyone’s kid is having any issues, they should try it out.

Sylvan has really good reviews. I've been using it already for a couple of months and the service is great. The teacher is really good. They are always available if I have to do any changes to the schedule or anything that I need. My daughter has been taking math and she has improved a lot. The teacher from her school told me that she's doing better and she was able to pass the class as well. The tutor is always on time sending me how my daughter's doing and the result and always like sending me emails. If anybody asked me, I will recommend the service.

Sylvan has done a good job. My child has been doing Reading and Math. She's doing much better. I can tell a difference. Everybody's been helpful. They'll call and give me updates. I will see them when I dropped her off, and I could chit chat with them. They're always available. They're really good people. I’ll definitely recommend Sylvan.

We’re definitely impressed with Sylvan Learning. Both of my kids have been in it. With my son, he was spot on within a year where he needed to be for his grade level. As far as my daughter, the progress is starting to show. They're working on things more and more with her. Sylvan is about the best. They individually worked with the child either by individual tutoring or group tutoring. So, whatever they’re doing, they slowly get them up to where they need to be.

My child really loves Sylvan and we're really happy with it. The primary thing he's taking away is building a lot more confidence. We plan to continue and most likely use it with our other children to supplement their education at school.

Everyone was really great at Sylvan. I like simplicity. It was very easy to set up the schedule and have my son there each day. He was also really excited when he would earn the prizes at the end. We moved from Missouri to Texas, but we are going to find another Sylvan location down here and get him enrolled halfway through the summer.
