Sylvan Learning Reviews

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.

My son needed some tutoring to help him with reading. He was improving by the end of his tutoring with them. I would recommend them.

We’re doing the Reading with Sylvan and this is our third month. The cost is pretty pricey. But, I’m seeing better results here than I have at the regular school.

We homeschool because we travel across the country for my husband's job. I noticed that my daughter was struggling with flipping letters when she was reading so I thought maybe she was dyslexic and I didn't know where to start. She did great at Sylvan. She just finished her English program and we just put her in the math program for the summer. She loves her language arts. She finished quickly in school after she started. Before, she was really struggling through it. That was her worst subject. Now it’s the first subject she completed for the school year. It was a month after we started Sylvan she had completed language arts.

My daughter does reading through Sylvan Learning, and she made a lot of progress. I would highly recommend the company. The lady that's in charge is really very nice. Every month, I have a meeting with her. She explains very well. She gives me my child's progress. I would give her 10 because she’s really very good.

We started with Sylvan in October of last year and we finished up the last session at the beginning of May. It worked for my high school kid. He did Reading, English and Math. It helped. We had a good experience with them. We will certainly continue to use them if we need anything in the future as well.

My child is getting better by doing his homework. Before he went to Sylvan, we were having a hard time in helping him with homework because he always needs help. Right now, he’s doing much of his homework by himself. Sylvan is good. People should go for it, it's helpful.

I'm super satisfied with Sylvan. I also attended there as a little girl over 20 years ago. Since my son had help in his reading comprehension, he got more confident when it comes to his English packet homework. He hasn't had to ask for as much help on those. Also, normally, it's three to four students per tutor. But in that, he's still getting one-on-one attention, which I really like ‘cause he doesn't get that at school. The school that he’s in currently doesn't do any tailoring to the personal students’ needs. I like that Sylvan personalizes a plan for them. That is something that's beneficial to the students.

My son is doing great with Sylvan. He likes it and it's helping him. I'm happy with it so far. There's another learning center in the area, and I compared the two. I liked the model a little bit better with Sylvan in terms of the assessments that they do, the group work and the use of iPads. They're working with the kids all the time which is a big help. They do a reward system too and my son is reward driven. He loves the surprises and the points.

My daughter's confidence in Math has improved since being with Sylvan and it provides extra practice. It was worth the time and effort to build my daughter's competence.

My child is doing okay with Sylvan and she's doing math with them. She has IEP, so sometimes it might be harder for her, and then some days it's not. I like their rep Melinda. She's very nice and accommodating. Give them a try.

My son has been off school for two years because of the COVID and he has been not been performing well at school. I'm divorced and his dad let our son go to school in full time only just March so my son missed many things already. The school planned to have my son repeat 4th grade and I'm okay with it. But my son's confidence was butchered. We've been with Kumon for four years and he hates it so much. It is not for everybody. Every time we went there, they also did the assessment. My son is quite playful and they would say that his level is one notch down. So, they keep on letting my son go back to for example, 2nd grade. They let my son do the 1st grade.

Sylvan has been wonderful. Our daughter's between kindergarten and first when we first went to them. Now, we’re ramping up to have that support throughout the summer as we go to second grade. The reading and comprehension are coming along more quickly than what we could have done alone at home. We love Sylvan and the people there. They're flexible. They have Saturday hours and later in the evening hours so it's nice.

The enrollment process was easy. We checked other places, but we liked Sylvan's approach. Also the owner is so approachable, very involved and flexible. Once a month, we have some kind of parent conference. She follows up with what my daughter has been doing and how she's been doing. Our daughter is in kindergarten and she's pretty good with reading but she still needs help with math and writing. But it would nice if my daughter could have the same teacher every time because kids this age like consistency.

They have great teachers and everybody there is super nice. All the kids that I've spoken to around the building seem to love going there. My daughter is in kindergarten and she is definitely picking stuff up faster than she was previously.

There was some mix-ups. One of my children is lacking in reading and was way behind. For her two hours, an hour was supposed to be math and the other hour was supposed to be reading. They don't have enough staff, so my child ended up having to only start with math her first week. That was very disappointing. But I reached out and the director of that learning center has been extremely proactive in communicating. Anytime I send an email, I always get an email back rather quickly.

Sylvan has a lot more resources available with regards to staff that would be more hands-on. My son is enjoying Sylvan and hasn't given any pushback on not wanting to go. He's pretty far behind with how things have been going in school but he's showing some improvement. Whenever I bring him or pick him up, they're always talking to me about things that they've seen or things that they've done. They’ve been calling us to update us on progress, or ask us if there's anything else that they should know, like if there's something that the school has mentioned to us to look out for or watch for. It’s been good experience so far.

Our daughter is doing math and language arts. She's doing math tutoring because they recommended it's not a good idea to do their math program at the same time when you're in class. She's also doing the reading program to help get up to where we need to be. She comes out, most of the time, in a better mood than when she went in. She has energy and you can tell it's a good experience for her.

It's been a very positive experience with Sylvan. It has helped my child become more confident in reading. Everyone's been great to work with as well. Sylvan is definitely a great place if your child needs some extra help.

Our granddaughter is eight and she's an excellent reader. But because of COVID and trying to learn at home, she got behind a little bit in math. Over the years, I have known Sylvan to be out there in Paducah, in Lone Oak. I called and talked to Steve, the director out there. We had a pretty good conversation on the phone and I felt good about it. We enlisted our granddaughter and focused on math. She looks forward to going to Sylvan and has a good attitude about it. She goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for one hour each and she's totally on board with it.

Our child does Algebra and math at Sylvan and is being helped just by practicing. The learning experience is pretty good. Sylvan is a little bit pricey but I would recommend it.

They were very supportive and we loved them. It was just a bit pricey and so it's not something that would be feasible in the long term.

I did Mathnasium briefly but I preferred Sylvan because it was more one on one. Our child does reading and now, we've added math. They assessed our child to see what level he was at and went from there. He's been with the school since October and he's improved. I would recommend Sylvan Learning.

My son enjoys going to Sylvan. It's been a good program, so far.

Sylvan is motivating my son to do well and fill in the gap from where he was. He enjoys Sylvan. He likes the methods that they use to get him to learn. He wasn't as weak in math as he was in reading, but I noticed an improvement in both of them, and definitely in math.

Our child is getting out of Sylvan what we wanted her to get out of it. She's homeschooled, and she needed some tutoring on her algebra. That’s what she goes for and Sylvan is the most convenient. She does most of the communication with them and she seems to be doing fine with it. Others should try Sylvan if they’re concerned that their child needs more help with something.

My son who is in sixth grade and my daughter who is in third grade are liking Sylvan very well. The instructors are very nice. My kids like them very much as well. Their manager is also very good. However, I used all my trials, but they didn't inform me.

My son started off with a 23% in language arts. He's in kindergarten. Come to find out, he didn't know any of his sounds and that was affecting him learning how to read, blend words, how to code. They had to go all the way back to his Voluntary Pre-K and work with him with sounds before they could even start him to learn his sight words.

They're all great people at Sylvan. My son seems to be all right and he’s now reading better.

The enrollment process was easy and things are good, so far. It's helpful and my son enjoys going. They help him with reading and the teachers who assist make it fun for him.

My youngest has spoken highly of the tutors that she likes. She's only dissatisfied with one and I asked her why and it’s because the tutor wasn’t teaching her. She said it took forever and the tutor was slow. But other than that, Sylvan is working for me.

Sylvan has been good. Like most things, my kid never likes going to do anything if it's something that takes him away from what he wants to do. But whenever we pick him up, he seems to have had a good experience with it because he never comes back home upset. My son particularly likes his math tutor, and the administrative staff has been helpful as well.

The school is trying to get the kids ready for the STAAR test. The teachers and staff designated the month of April, and they offered Saturday school from 9:00am to 12:00pm for students that had challenges. My scholar, Alicia, fell into that category, and that schedule interfered with her tutoring with Sylvan because we only go in and we're there for an hour. I had to contact her Sylvan instructor. I nor her Sylvan instructor wanted her to miss out on the opportunity.

My daughter was falling behind in school, and so we wanted her to get at least caught up or increase her confidence. Sylvan was recommended by a friend. Her three kids went there for various different learning needs. I had looked at other places, but I was happier with Sylvan. Sylvan helped a lot and it's helped my daughter's confidence. It also has helped relieve some stress from mom and dad. I would highly recommend it.

I like everything about Sylvan. The only downside to it is the expense. But other than that, my son loves it and he is improving with his math and reading. Also, they walk him out and always tell me how he's doing for the day, where they're going to progress, how they're progressing, and what their next step is. I really wasn't expecting to get that from the tutor.

We have two children doing Sylvan and they like coming in and working with the tutors. I like it too, as long as my kids are happy.

My child only had positive things to say about the different teachers he's had at Sylvan. He's even had a couple of the teachers tell him that he's their favorite student, which makes him feel amazing. There's a lot of positive reinforcement at this particular center and he feels comfortable there. We're doing both reading and math help but we paused reading for a little bit because math was taking up so much time. We needed to incorporate some homework help and it's helping. He got a report card last week and there were lots of improvements. There have been days when he doesn't want to go but once we get in there and he comes out, he feels so much better.

The tutor has helped my child tremendously in Math. My child is paying attention more and he's focused more. Also, he loves it there. It's been great.

They focus on comprehension, math, and reading with my daughter. She liked how the tutor helped her and was focusing on her and not the other kids. The support and the attention that they give to the child one-on-one is phenomenal.

My foster daughter is enjoying Sylvan very well. She was a little bit behind. She's been going to Sylvan for a month now and she is reading, so we are totally excited about that. They're also working with her on her math. She loves it. She can't wait to go. They make it fun for her and bring it down to the level where she's at, versus at school, they wanted to put her at her grade level where she's not to that yet so she gets frustrated. What I liked about Sylvan is that it’s not one method for every child. They take into consideration the child that is learning and where they're at. So they meet them where they're at.

My daughter is loving Sylvan. She's been making fantastic progress with Sylvan. She's making great progress mostly in word-by-letter blending and the confidence level in learning that she can, in fact, do it. So, we're very happy. I'm hoping, at some point, I'll get some updates from them on how they feel that she's doing as far as where she should be.

The kids enjoy learning with Sylvan and they learn. They make progress and I can see the improvement. I like their program. It can be adjustable and fixed with the progress.

My daughter loves Sylvan Learning. We've seen a big improvement in her confidence and her grades. She did virtually last year for her first year of kindergarten. So, that put her a little behind the curriculum. Fort Hood was a little bit different when we got up here to Crowley, so we didn't want her to get further behind with the fundamentals. A lot of places are now going virtual and doing the tutoring over webinars, and my daughter does not do good or thrive on that part of it. So, having that hands-on at Sylvan and having someone there while she's working on new things were definitely more of what she needed. Any time I've ever needed anything, had to change anything or had questions, the people at Sylvan have always been very attentive and quick to respond.

Sylvan is great. My son has improved in his reading. He used to stutter but now, he continues without stopping. It’s expensive but it is worth it for your children.

One of Sylvan's models is a confidence builder. My daughter needed to build her confidence. She's focusing on reading, and she went from a D in her reading class to an A. She tells me she enjoys learning at Sylvan. It's a good experience. She's excited to go every week. She's excited to go to school and show her improvements, so she's more confident and she's doing much better in her classes, overall. Reading was our issue, and she can read her directions. So, it's working really well for us.

I love Sylvan Learning. My girls love the tutor and the person that did all the scheduling. It's been great. My kids needed help and doing it online, they can meet with their teachers, and their teachers were great, but it was specific. They’re helping specifically with Algebra. I’ve got twins who are completely different. One of them has leverage over their tutor. She’s proactive with her work and her schedule, so she likes the process. So she and her tutor plan her school day.

My sister had her son in Sylvan and I saw a really nice improvement in my nephew. The location is really close to my house too so it was easy. My daughter needed help, so I decided to have her do Sylvan also. She did reading. She's in kindergarten so her focus was letters and sounds. She definitely knows her letters now and her sounds. I saw an improvement, 100%.

My daughter is doing language, arts, and math at Sylvan and so far, it's been great. She's a lot more confident. She understands the problems a lot better now. If you are looking for a tutor, I would highly recommend Sylvan.

We're focusing on reading and comprehension at Sylvan, and the enrollment was pretty straightforward. We met with a director there, and he explained the whole process and suggested what Elliott might need based on an assessment that he took. We've been going four days a week since October. He seems to be doing really good. His teacher has made comments that his reading and writing have improved. Overall, we're very happy with it. I would suggest others to sign their kids up with Sylvan. They seem very organized, and they care about the kids and my son. He enjoys going. To me, that says a lot that he doesn't dread going there. He's excited and happy when he goes there. It's a great program.

Since going with Sylvan, my child seems to have more confidence now about doing math and his writing, and his teacher says that she's noticing a change. I'm very pleased with Sylvan. Their reps are very friendly, warm and welcoming. As far as the learning experience, they present it through the iPad at one point. Then they have a table group of three kids, and while the tutor's doing some individualized stuff with one of the kids, the other kids are doing some practice on the iPad. Then, when they finish that, the other kid goes to the iPad, so they kind of do like an individualized kind of thing.

Everything went smoothly with Sylvan's enrollment process. My child is doing reading tutoring. She really likes it. She enjoys it. She hadn’t complained about it. She’s pretty excited to go when she goes, and I'm starting to see some improvements. She's been going for about six weeks. It's helping.

My granddaughter is enjoying Sylvan. I’m hoping that it would help my granddaughter. We’re trying to get her to learn to read. She's in the first-grade and her problem is that she's never been to any school because of that Coronavirus. My wife and I were afraid to send her to school. She's been in online school since kindergarten and she’s never been in daycare. So, we just did the best we could with her. When we figured out that she was getting behind, we chose Sylvan Learning Centers. They gave her a placement test. As far as her last school is going, she's doing fine but she's supposed to go into second grade. We just want to prepare her for the second grade. Hopefully, she can keep going.

It’s a little bit expensive but I can't complain because my daughter is getting back on her grade level like she needs to be. Also, she likes the tutor.

My son loves the learning style they're doing with him. He responds really well to it and he doesn't respond well to a lot of things. They've done a very good job. Also, he loves all the staff and tutors. The cost is worth it.

Our granddaughter was falling behind. We thought it'd be good to try Sylvan. She had help working on the SAT test. I feel happy with what they are doing. I'm very satisfied. Everything's positive with Sylvan.

My main objective was to help my son feel more comfortable taking tests and understanding how tests are given. When I was researching different facilities, Sylvan was the only one on the website that said that they would help with testing skills. Since going there, my son has been maintaining his grades and he's been having a good relationship with the folks at Sylvan. His schedule has been kind of crazy with his activities and they've been very accommodating to help us reschedule when we need to. One gentleman that he seems to meet with the most always let me know that he believes that my son is doing well. He has a unique approach to the kids because I think that they are comfortable asking him questions. Also, when he's explaining, his information is well-received as opposed to coming from a parent or a teacher.

Sylvan was close by and it had the services that my kids needed. They're doing reading and there has been an improvement in their overall grade score at school. We've been going back consistently based on the schedule that they provided. Give Sylvan a try. So far, the overall program seems to be working for my kids. We have tried other companies and it didn't work out the way that I'm seeing the results now.

Going with Sylvan is a great alternative to classroom teaching. My son is doing math and reading. He is enjoying it. He likes the style. Everything's going pretty well. He does go to different tutors. It's not the same one every time. I was concerned about that at first but maybe he can be adaptable. It might be a good thing to try different teachers. I was concerned thinking that he was gonna get confused but he doesn't seem to have a problem.

Sylvan has been wonderful. My first two children struggled with the ACT despite being very good students. I proactively, for my third child, got ahead of the student-issued ACT and enrolled him. What sold me was the ability to have one-on-one guidance for him. Sylvan offered an upfront, free test. They'd score it then they'd give us recommendations specific to my son. That was what I needed. He's had enough remote learning and didn't have to sit in his room on a computer anymore.

Their director makes you feel very comfortable wanting your kid there. My child's doing well with them. I'm starting to see progress by him going to tutoring because he has a learning disability. I just recently enrolled my four-year-old as well. Both of my kids love it. They were like, “I love my teacher. They're cool.” I feel comfortable with them there knowing that they're going to be treated well.

We have been going to Sylvan for a month now. When we first started, we had some difficulty as far as the teachers. She was getting different teachers. It's confusing because they were helping her with some of her homework and she would get some of the problems wrong. That was something I didn't like. But it's getting better.

My son likes Sylvan. He doesn't give me a problem with going there. He enjoys the atmosphere and the teacher. He's doing reading and writing for about a month and a half now. It's been well. I've already gotten an email from a teacher saying that she sees a big improvement. It's a really positive program and it's good. I'll continue to take my son there and I also signed up my daughter for summer classes as well.

My daughter is doing math with Sylvan. She previously rejected doing math, and now she's willing to do it. She's keeping up with math. We're doing two hours a week, Tuesday and Thursday, one hour each. She's ready, willing, and happy when she leaves. She is confident about herself and her ability to do math. Her tests have improved. They're not 100% yet. But we know that and we're working towards improvement. But seeing the improvement and the progress as a result of the work and the focus is becoming apparent to her and that's helping her with her focus and studying. The people who work there have been very courteous and helpful as well. My daughter seems to be very happy with Sylvan.

My child has come up five points in math just from the whole month and a half we've been doing Sylvan. She really enjoys going. Everybody has also been very helpful. If I have any questions, they're there to answer them. Everything in this whole experience has been really good.

I went to Sylvan when I was in high school and I had a good experience with them. I learned a lot. I knew what to expect. That was why I picked them first. We looked for a tutor because my son is autistic and he's been going to ABA therapy but he doesn't have the attention span to be in a regular classroom yet. He’s in kindergarten so we wanted him to learn how to read but they didn't have the resources at the center to do reading. We thought a tutor would be a good option.

My son has only been in Sylvan for like a month now, but he's doing well. He wasn't behind when he started, so what they're doing right now is they're looking if there are any gaps of things that he doesn't know. So, he's kind of going through the program pretty quickly. He likes the program though. He was in Kumon before he came to Sylvan. He said that he does like Sylvan better. Right now, he's kind of breezing through the information that they have given him.

Sylvan is close to my house and the reviews were pretty good. We're doing reading with them. There's still more progress to be achieved. My kid didn't like to read at all. He has struggles with reading. Other than his struggles, he wouldn't want to read because of that but now he has more confidence in himself. He really likes his tutors over at Sylvan. He's really engaged into it. Everything that Sylvan is doing right now is working. It is a little expensive, but it's worth it.

We're liking Sylvan pretty well. My child was complaining at first about having to go, but now he likes going. He was doing a little bit better before he started, but now he's maintaining a good grade. I would recommend it.

They're awesome and they have a good setup. It's worth it because my son's really thriving and he's enjoying it. I go in once a month and have a meeting, and we go over his progression. The enrollment was easy too. I made an appointment, I went in and talked to them about what he needed and signed the paperwork, and he started going two days later. It was very simple.

My son was behind on reading. He enjoys Sylvan. At first, he was reluctant, but now he likes going. He also seems to like school more and he enjoys going to class. I would recommend Sylvan.

My granddaughter is going to Sylvan and she really likes the instructor. The hours were at our convenience. She's increasing her scores at school and she is very satisfied. It was also easy getting started with them. I worked with the director Jodi and had no problems at all.

So far, our experience with Sylvan seems to be okay. They don't push hard. My son is a third-grader. I've talked to him about what they do so I know they've been doing things with money, giving change. At the very end, if they're done and they have a little extra time, they can play a game with one of the other kids. That seems to be cool. My kid likes it. He's already got something he wants to get so he's saving for it. Doing Sylvan is a great way to make sure that you fill in all the gaps so that the future years will not be a struggle. So even if you think you're doing fine now, it's still a good idea to bring it all together so that they can make it through with no gaps.

Our son has fallen behind in his English language class. Now, he seems to be less frustrated with his writing. My son enjoys going to Sylvan. It's definitely worth it.

Sylvan was one of the options recommended by my kids' homeschool teacher. Sylvan looked really promising and then going in for an initial consultation, I really enjoyed speaking with the coordinator, and I liked the facility. They also have a fair price compared to other places. I have two boys going to the Sylvan Learning Center, and so far, it's been a really good experience for them. They really liked it. I've definitely noticed improvements in their reading and their writing. I highly recommend Sylvan Learning and it's a great facility for kids who need extra help.

My child is doing precalculus with Sylvan. So far, my child seems to understand the way the subject works and how to process information instead of memorizing it. I see improvement in terms of how to break down the information and understand the process. I like Bo of the admin, and also Cassie. They really focus on trying to improve his experience and also his grades. So instead of just focusing on precalculus, they check in with me to see what other areas they can improve for him or help him to improve. I like that.

Everything's been great with our experience with Sylvan. My son has been doing reading for about a month and his teacher can already tell a difference. I'm very satisfied.

My son has been doing better in school and we argue less with homework, which is the whole reason why I went to Sylvan. His learning experience has been positive. He was a brat walking in the door, especially when we first started going, and they worked through that with him. It has 1,000% improved.

My daughter is doing better in school. I've noticed an improvement in her grades, and her self-confidence has improved as well. We started out hammering math more, but now, it's 50-50 with math and English. My daughter liked for the tutoring to be an hour and not two hours, but she's just complaining like a normal girl would and she's fine when I pick her up. The only thing I've ever seen her say anything is she'll get more out of some tutors than others, but that's just human nature and life. Overall, it's been a positive experience.

The tutor focused on writing with my child. They've been talking about how to get thoughts down in an organized way on paper and different ways you can map it out. They were also doing conjunctive verbs and how to enhance sentences. Sylvan has made writing easier for my child. He's not fighting it anymore. Before, he would not do an assignment because he hated writing so badly. Now, he's doing the assignments and not feeling as bad if he gets something wrong or doesn't spell it right. The staff has helped change his self-esteem so much. It's so worth it to get tested and see what Sylvan can do to help the child out.

With the opportunity to work with a teacher at the school, it was very specific about what the needs were and tailored to what the curriculum was for my daughter. Whereas with Sylvan, I'm positive that they have a proprietary program modified based on the kids' needs but it's more general. In the South Indianapolis location, the personalities are very welcoming. Having that positive attitude and great atmosphere has been really reassuring for me. It has been a pleasant experience. They focused on English reading comprehension and text interpretation with my daughter. Now, she's better at anticipating character arc and the main idea of texts.

My daughter is behind in math quite a bit and we felt that she needed a tutor to get her back on track. I chose Sylvan because they have the ability to catch her up in multiple subjects if she falls behind on them, not just math. The staff at Sylvan has been extremely friendly. They update me on all progress at each visit and I know they don't have to because they send out their progress reports. The tutor meets with me at the end of every session and tells me what kind of progress was made that day. Also, there has been a couple of occasions where I had to call and get a little advice from the tutor and they've been free to talk to me at any point in time. My daughter is not quite where she needs to be but she is gaining confidence. She's getting confident in math and she doesn't view going there as a chore at all.

I really like how they're teaching my son how to stay focused. Also, he goes to school and he goes to Sylvan four days a week and because of that, he doesn't get a lot of time so they give him 10 minutes at the end of the time to do his homework. I really appreciate that because that makes my life easier. I've dealt a lot with Ashley and another lady that works in the front office and they've both been really nice. But my son struggles with some relationships with some people and he’s struggling with this gentleman that he's tutoring with now. It's something that we're working on.

Sylvan is a great facility. They allow us to bring our child's homework to them. So not only can they help them with their homework, but I can also help them gauge what their teaching process will be, so it's aligning with their school. Sylvan also aligns themselves with our state requirements to make sure that my son is learning stuff, and he's also fulfilling the requirements that are set by the state.

The tutors were familiar with the course study, so they went out and bought their own materials to help prepare my daughter with her understanding of the course. Now my daughter is holding a strong B+ in the class. It’s awesome the way they’re going out their way to help her. The communication has been awesome too. They reached out to me last week to see how I was doing and seeing if the progress was to par. I will definitely recommend people to go with Sylvan and I will let them know not to get discouraged about the pricing. Because at the end of the day, they're going to get what they pay for.

Use Sylvan. My son wasn't interested in going to a tutor for the one major reason that he thought he’d feel stupid, but Sylvan has an amount of kids there and everyone is trying to better themselves. They have a better incentive program, and it's also better teaching. My son has already gone up on his reading level since being there, and he likes his experience. The tutors are working on better schooling and reading because it's one-on-one there.

With my son going back to school in person after having a year of virtual learning, we wanted to make sure he had some kind of educational supplement to fill in the gaps of being home. And he goes to a language immersion school so he learns everything through Chinese and they don't give them English arts until second grade. So I wanted to make sure he's up on his reading skills and keep him ahead of the game in math. That's why we chose Sylvan. And many moons ago, I went to Sylvan myself for PSAT prep. That’s why I remember Sylvan being a good program.

My daughter is on writing and reading with Sylvan Learning Center. They gave me a report last week, where they said that she was doing well. My daughter's always willing to go. She loves it there. I'm impressed. They also keep me informed. My daughter started talking about it with her brother. My son just started it with writing. They did the assessment. He's in seventh grade, but based on the report, they told me that his writing is in sixth grade.

Everything's been going great. The staff are very pleasant and knowledgeable. They share their insight and make sure that every question I have if they can answer right on the spot, they do. If not, then they look into whatever it is, and they get back to me as soon as possible.

It's been two months since my daughter joined but Sylvan has never had a session interacting with parents. My daughter doesn't tell me anything that she's doing and I don't get any report from them. I'm confused. I thought that from Sylvan, I will learn something -- what they're doing and what level she is. I was totally disappointed with that one. I had a good opinion of them but the way this is turning out, I'm not at all happy.

They focus on reading with my child and I've been seeing improvements in his reading skills. It's been wonderful, so far, and I'd highly recommend Sylvan.

Sylvan reading program has helped my kid read faster and comprehend the subject he read. My kid is happy with the program and Sylvan tutors. I would recommend my friends to enroll Sylvan reading, writing for their children.

I had our daughter in Sylvan's program for SAT prep. She had to wear a mask and there was only a couple of other people in the class. But she benefited from it. I’d tell others to go ahead, contact Sylvan, and see if it's right for them.

I'm pretty happy with Sylvan's program. The tutor focused my child's reading comprehension and writing skills. There has been some improvement with him. He's more confident. Sylvan is worth it. They've been super helpful.

A friend's son goes. Also, my grandson had once went. I've seen how well Sylvan helped them and I thought it would be of help for my granddaughter. Sylvan assessed my granddaughter and found where her weaknesses are and set up some goals for her to achieve in her reading, building her confidence, as well as Math. They're very helpful and informative. We meet once a month to assess their goals and see how well they're doing. My daughter has mastered a few goals ever since she came on. She's right where she should be. I would extremely recommend Sylvan.

I’ve used Sylvan before with my grandkids and I like the service. I like the people, too. This time, the student that I enrolled is in the 9th grade, so I want him to get extra help for school. They helped him with his Math and they were flexible with the hours. In both times we used Sylvan, I was in a position where I could afford the service but it was a little expensive.

Getting started with Sylvan was pretty easy. We sat down with the director and talked about the typical amount of hours, especially after our son, Dylan, has gotten his assessment done. We also talked about the different types of options that would be available for him. Within the month, he seemed to retain things better and he seemed to be able to read faster.

The thing that made me go with Sylvan is that they said they’ve had experience with kids with a little learning disability. They focus on Math and reading with my child. First nine weeks of school, a B in math. My child has come a long way. Sylvan is worth a try. I see the improvement and joy in my child.

I was looking for something to help my son with his reading. I called Sylvan and they seemed like a pretty good place. I went up there and I ended up liking it. We used Kumon before but Sylvan’s got a better program. Kumon, to me, was just rushed. My son’s lesson was only 10 minutes and I was paying for 45 minutes. It didn't fit him and didn't meet his needs, so I didn't really care for it. When he first started at Sylvan, he was on the kindergarten level and now, he’s on a second grade level. That happened within a few months, so it’s pretty good. I also like the coin system and my son really enjoys it. That motivates him. Everyone at Sylvan is pretty friendly, too. They have a very good reading program and they also offer Math. I would tell my friends about the website. I would tell them to check it out and call to see if that's something they’ll be interested in.

Sylvan has helped my son quite a bit. He's a second-grader and he tested into a high-ability classroom. He could gather what was happening and what the words were on the page from the picture and the first letter of the word. So, he hadn't really learned to read. He jumped a grade and a half in a few months at Sylvan. We're continuing that and all of his standardized test scores have gone up significantly.

Sylvan is focusing on phonics and reading and writing with my daughter. It's more reinforcement at this point and she loves it.

Initially, they worked on some remedial stuff from the core competency, and then along with that, it kind of gives confidence for the kids. So when they feel that they've got a better understanding of it, they've gained some confidence there. It seems to have helped, not just with the ability for the functions and equations to be able to do them. But on the testing part, it's less frustrating. My child goes multiple days during the week to Sylvan. We have different tutors and for the most part, they've been pretty good. But my child is in high school and some of the curriculum that Sylvan offers are at the lower grade levels. They don't offer some help directly with some of the curricula that they're actually learning. So it's more of the elementary or junior high type stuff that they can focus on. But then you're kind of reliant on the tutors themselves to be able to bring in some of their knowledge of some of the higher functions or classes.

We love Sylvan. I wish it was a little cheaper, but that's okay. They have very stable lesson structures and they keep building my daughter's confidence. Right now, my daughter is doing great. She is showing large improvements and growth very rapidly.

Everything's been great. Lucy is amazing. My son loves going to Sylvan. The enrollment process was super easy. We paid upfront for 100 hours and we're 65 hours into it. My son is liking learning, and he's doing what he has to do. We're very happy with him going there.

I contacted Sylvan asking what their SAT prep was like. I talked to one of the main people there. She was fantastic. She talked me through everything. We did what we needed to do. We got the results back and they found what she needed work on. She went for many weeks and worked with a man named Ray. He is absolutely fabulous. He helped her so much in so many things. She just took the SATs, and she’s supposed to get her results back on Friday. So once she gets them back, I've already circled around with Sylvan. I'm going to send the results to them, and then Ray will look at them. They will see if she needs to work on anything else before she takes it the second time.

I had a friend who had a kid with dyslexia, and she went to Sylvan because they helped him out a bit. We went in and had a little meeting. Sylvan evaluated our kid, and we enrolled from there. The price is a bit high. It takes a lot. You have to buckle down to make the payments because it's not cheap. But the biggest thing for me is that Sylvan makes it fun enough to where my son actually likes to go there. The teachers are nice. He likes their little stops at the end of the night to keep them engaged. He likes that they go through all the stuff in order so it builds upon itself so he gains confidence.

It's very convenient for me because Sylvan is a three-minute drive from my house. My son had just started second grade and he was in a second language program. He was learning Spanish, but he wasn't learning the phonics of English. So, that took him from almost a kindergarten, if not a very early first grade level, to where he needed to be. He learned the basics of what he needed to get caught up with. Parents need to be involved in making sure that there's open communication with the school. That way, it's not just one goal, that everybody's on the same track of where that needs to be. Also, be prepared for the price. It's expensive. But Sylvan is very effective.

The needs were there for my daughter. I looked at it from the perspective of assisting my daughter better her grades, especially after a year struggling, working off of a computer. She likes Sylvan. She seems more confident with her work. So, every time we ask her how she feels, she's happy to go. She's not one of those students who hate Mondays, Wednesdays or Saturdays, because those are the days that she goes. She understands that this is for her, and this is for her to get better in learning. She knew that she lacked in organization, memory, understanding, and confidence before we did all this. She was happy with it. We do an assessment with her. Sylvan goes over how she has done with testing and how she is improving. Or if she is not improving, Sylvan would let us know that as well. They would regroup and go back to the beginning to make sure that she understands the material that has been introduced to her.

They focused primarily on math, science, and a little bit of English with my son. He took the ACT and he improved -- not from his baseline of when he first started but it was good. My son applied himself rather than blowing it off. Also, everybody was prepared and gave him the attention that he needed.

My daughter likes going to Sylvan. They are improving her confidence at school and her grades in math. They're good with kids, so I would highly recommend them.

Sylvan works well because my son never complains and he really enjoys the class. So far, I am satisfied with their service.

I used Varsity Tutors before and I prepaid there. When my granddaughter took the class, they wouldn't refund me any of the money, even though I could have chosen to pay less when I signed up. But I thought it was gonna be a continuing thing. One of my granddaughter's A's dropped to a B, and it was stressing her out. She needed help and she didn't get it from them, so she ended up getting a B in the class, and she wasn't very happy with that. I didn't deal with them anymore.

Sylvan is okay for my daughter. Reading is getting better but she still needs to work on the math. They're more affordable than the other things that I looked up. The teachers are fine and they communicate through text message and phone calls.

My daughter has drastically improved. Her confidence has soared and she looks forward to attending Sylvan. I see a difference in reading and a drastic one in Math. Sylvan's staff is great. They're patient. Also I like the quiet atmosphere. That way, it helps their students remain focused. They're also flexible regarding hours of operation. We've had a great experience. I would recommend Sylvan hands down.

My son is doing the reading, but he’s getting homework stuff as well. He’s getting better with his reading fluency and has a better comprehension. Also, he has a better appreciation for help with his education in meaning that he doesn't take it for granted. He understands once he put in the work, his results are showing by his report card. He’s on the AVR row and he comes from a school where they didn’t even do great. So, starting out, Sylvan helps him to maintain structure and to work more independently. So, I’m loving it. Sometimes school can be stressful and kids wanna give up. But Sylvan would help them to see the importance of staying on top and maintaining that success.

I like the whole setup and style even though it's on Zoom. The teachers are so personable. They show they care. We love them. It's been an incredible experience. Before we began to now, it’s a complete turnaround.

The school was able to help me. My child does really well and he's very comfortable there. He enjoys going. But wish that some of the instructors would be a little bit more strict about keeping the chairs on all four legs because I am always commenting about how my son and other students have the chair on one leg where they're playing around. Not only do I feel that it's a safety issue, but I feel like they're not paying attention like they should. So, I yell at my son because I'm one of the few parents that stay at Sylvan.

My daughter is not that good at reading and it looks like she’s improving. She likes the learning experience, especially with all the toys and gifts she gets from there. She wants to go to Sylvan so that’s good. The teachers are good and whatever date I need, I can change. So everything is good for me right now. It's perfect.

My child has attention-deficit so he’s behind on Reading and Math. We’ve been with Sylvan a little over a month and when I met with their director, she said that he moved almost a level off on Reading. So, I hope that Sylvan helped him with it. We try to read as much as we can at home and he’s more interested in books now since he is getting the concept of reading. Hopefully, we're gonna go this direction from now on and we're gonna probably try to keep on for a year or so and see the difference. If it's going to help us, we'll keep on working with him.

My child is getting reading tutoring right now at Sylvan and he has had 16 sessions so far. He had quite a bit of work to do but it's not too bad. I had a meeting with the director of the center this last time around, and we talked about how he's doing. But they said they're gonna do a progress assessment after a few more sessions.

My child was at Sylvan for one time only and it was great. There was nothing I would have handled differently but I couldn't afford it. So, I'm trying to find something.

UPDATED 04/03/2022: I paid tutoring classes in advance for my daughter, whom at the time was in 7th grade all the way to 12 grade. She attended sylvan from November 2020 to May 2021. After that I could not make appointments anymore because they would never return my call. Meanwhile, at the time she was assisting the center I saw no improvement. Had a couple of meetings to discuss my daughter progress because she was falling even more behind while going to sylvan. Summer came and she did not go to the center not even one class. returning to class in August 2021 tried to schedule and was never able to.

The tutoring sessions with Sylvan have been amazing because in nine weeks, my child’s grade went up. He was doing bad in math and now, it’s a total turnaround. He’s doing good in Math and able to keep up with his Zearn. He doesn't need us to stand over him the whole time. So many kids don't want to go to tutoring but he loves to go and wants to make sure that he's not gonna miss it. He wants to be there and he’s excited. So, we're ecstatic. We try to tell many people about Sylvan. The prices are good and they can’t go wrong with it. They won’t be disappointed if their child is struggling with reading, math and those type of things. I never had that type of experience as far as with tutoring. The teachers are patient and the staff greets you at the door. They're always smiling, happy and always welcome my child. I love it. We're so satisfied and so happy that we decided on Sylvan.

My son likes going to Sylvan. He enjoys it. We have been using them for Math for a little over a month and his teacher at school said he’s already doing well.

My child loves Sylvan. It’s been well for her. She’s good in school and going for Math specifically, but mostly, she’s learning or relearning some of the skills that she was coming short on. It’s boosting her confidence and making it so much better for her. Right now, they're going through some first-grade skills that she missed out on due to COVID. But she's still struggling on her current math test. So, they are trying to incorporate the skills that they missed but also incorporate some of what they're doing right now as opposed to waiting till later.

The reps from Sylvan are very flexible and they communicate. They’ve been good to me and my child loves his learning experience with Sylvan. He likes the reward that he gets. Sylvan is great and I would recommend them. They are flexible with your hours and work with you as far as your financial side of it as well. If you want to go month-to-month or pay in advance, however you wanna do it.

My daughter's only been in her fourth class and up to now, it's good. Gotta see the progress in school with the Math. That's where she's having issues with.

I scheduled an initial visit at the Sylvan center and had a really good experience. My child just started and has only done a few sessions. We haven't had any conferences yet with them to see how she's progressing. But it is helping. She seems to enjoy it. They have a fun atmosphere. They can earn prizes for each session, which she likes. So she likes going. We like that it's one-on-one tutoring as opposed to some other programs we researched that were more group-focused. We also like that it's integrated with her school, so they share information with her teacher and vice versa to make sure that we're all on the same page. I would recommend them.

Sylvan has been very helpful and the communication from them has been great. My daughter was doing really well and she was moved up to a different class. But now, she's struggling again. So, we're in the process of working through that with the teachers. If my daughter has any classwork, Sylvan's been good about bringing that with questions. Sylvan has really helped my daughter's confidence in what she's being tutored. They send us timely assessments of her progress and let us know how she's doing. My daughter looks forward to going. So, it's been a positive experience for her as well.

I went to Sylvan as a child. Now, my children are taking the program for Math and I'm very happy with the tutors and how the enrollment process went.
