Sylvan Learning Reviews

They returned my call quickly. They're also very close to my house and had good schedules that worked with my kids not having to miss school. It's been a good experience so far. They are doing reading comprehension with my son and he's doing better.

I've always known about Sylvan for a long time. I had my grandson there and they taught him how to read. I had my great-granddaughter there right now. So far, she's learning her ABCs. Not as fast as if she was in preschool, but she only goes two hours a week. It is an expensive adventure though. But they give me so much money for the kids and I'm putting that money into Sylvan.

Our son is a senior in High School, so he's very unique in this particular service center because most of the kids were in Middle School. But it's okay. He was fine with it. He came and said, "Sylvan was good today." Sylvan has absolutely the potential to turn the corner of any young person to different degrees. The more you commit to Sylvan, the better chance you have of turning your son or daughter around quicker. My son's now much more self-aware. He's much more aware of getting these instructions from professionals, outside of his mother and his father. Having professionals who are very experienced at getting children to turn the corner was really excellent for him. He's absolutely performing better. They very much helped him with his focus, his ability to push distractions aside and his ability to do work.

They do really well and they really work with me because I'm retired and I'm on a fixed income. They've helped my grandson with his reading. About a month after he started going, I noticed he's really reading a lot better. Then he really didn't care for it at first, but now, he really likes it. It's really helped a lot. He used to not want to read to me. If he read, he mumbled. But now, when he reads, he doesn't mumble anymore.

We did one class through Sylvan and it seemed to work. My daughter did the ACT prep course. She took the course most of the summer and then it was completed. She brought her ACT score up five points. That's pretty amazing. She had two different tutors. She really liked both of them. Had good experiences.

My son loves Sylvan. They helped him with things he was struggling on in Geometry. He's doing good because he's enjoying it and he's learning. But when I was first signing up, I was kind of told that they would grade homework and you just print it out. I have printed it out but it has never gotten graded. It could be lack of communication from my child though. Overall, it’s great.

My daughter is doing Math with Sylvan and I like the way that they work with the kids one-on-one. It's important for the kids to feel that they're being focused on. She's on her second month and so far, we're seeing a slight improvement. They're starting off really slow with her, and that's probably a good thing. Her confidence has definitely gone up when it comes to Math. Before Sylvan, she didn't want to talk about it and do it.

When my son needed help, we went with Sylvan and our experience was good. My son did not get the full course of Math at his high school and Sylvan filled in the spaces.

Sylvan has really motivated my daughter to want to read. She used to hate reading and now, she is excited about it. Also, the teachers are very positive. They remember her and I know they have a lot of kids so I'm really impressed that they know. Sylvan is doing a great job.

My daughter went through the whole two-month program for speed reading and it seems to me that she is reading a little bit faster. If anyone asks about Sylvan, I would refer them.

I have Sylvan learning that I'm using in Bloomington, Indiana for my son and my daughter. I also have my daughter going to Sylvan Learning for ACT support in Brooks School Road in Indianapolis. The services at the Sylvan on Brooks School Road in Fishers, Indiana with the personal touch is very good. Sue of the Bloomington store is excellent. My son lived in Bloomington for a while. He’s moving back up to Indianapolis and he needed help with chemistry, and Sue provides that. But the Sylvan up here is deficit. They don't have anybody to tutor chemistry. So Sue is tutoring my daughter who goes to an online school in Indianapolis, Connections Academy, over the internet. Sylvan is very good. But you do have to be careful because there are some deficits in teachers that they have on staff to provide the support.

I want my son to get more comfortable with comprehension subject and Sylvan kind of fit the bill. I met Christine and I liked the faculty and staff. At the beginning of the class, they did a test on him and they customized a lesson plan for him. He showed some improvements in the small amount of time he went to Sylvan. Also, he was excited to go every weekend and was showing enthusiasm to go to the class. He liked the people he met over there. We had to get up at 4:00 or 4:30 AM and leave the house by 6:30, which is not something an 11-year-old wants to do every weekend on a Saturday, but he was willing to do that for at least three months.

My child focused on reading this time with Sylvan and he loved it. They have a reward system, and so he knows if he does his work, he gets points. Once a child gets so many points, he gets a reward. That's a good incentive for kids. They've done wonders for him. He's out right now because it is a summer program. But I told him that he’d get in school and get used to that, and we're gonna pick it back up at the beginning of next month.

We looked into Club V, and it was in-home tutoring, which I thought might be good, but getting my kids out of the house into an actual educational atmosphere really made a difference. We used Sylvan Learning mainly as summer so that the kids didn't fall behind and to help fill in some gaps because the last year had been so crazy. I am so grateful for the program. It definitely helped both my girls reach some of their goals and gain more confidence in themselves. We were planning to see how this school year went and then if we needed additional help throughout the year, to look into re-enrolling.

Sylvan works. It’s a good place to take your children to get a leg up. The tutor focused on Reading and Math with my daughter and it built my daughter's confidence up.

My daughter loved Sylvan and the time we spent there with them was amazing. The owner was a very kind individual and was very knowledgeable. He took time and explained some things to us very well. We went for my daughter's writing, but he found that she’s okay with writing and needed more work with her reading. He brought that to our attention and that's something that we're working on with her.

Sylvan did a great job with my grandchildren and the kids seem to like the experience with them.

The experience with Sylvan has been really positive. Everybody has been really friendly and they've been easy to work with. The kids have enjoyed it and Sylvan has kept it fun. They got a fun reward program, which is motivating for the kids.

Everybody at Sylvan was great. Larry was fantastic. My son is a kindergartner and they taught him how to spell his name in the short time that he was there. Also, he can pronounce his name verbatim. They did that in those two months, which I was really happy about.

My 10-year-old has been going to Sylvan for about three or four weeks now and she's more apt to try now than she was. I can see that we're on the right path and I'm pleased with it. Also, I like the structure that they use. And it can be twofold. They help to bridge those gaps with the information that they are missing but they also can assist with homework. My daughter is able to take what we're working on that week and they assist her with that field. I've had a pleasant experience with all of the staffers, as well. They've been professional. I highly recommend Sylvan, if anyone is kind of debating on whether or not to give it a try. It's worth it.

It’s going great with the tutor so far. They have progress report sessions every four or six weeks and the teacher goes over what my daughter is learning. From what I see, my daughter has made some progress. I would strongly recommend Sylvan to friends and family. They're a reputable learning organization and you get what you pay for.

My child did English and Math through Sylvan. They spent time going over drills and practice quizzes. The quality of the service was fine and the kids enjoyed it. My child's best friend was going there too. The learning was adequate and it seemed to improve their confidence. Sylvan seemed to do a satisfactory job. It was just a little more expensive than I predicted. There should be more pricing options available and they should potentially offer different pricing models.

They're focusing on reading and sight words with my child and the practice that they've been doing and having my daughter read out loud helped a lot. Also, the reward system is great. It motivates the children and my daughter loves it. Sylvan is worth the money.

My child loves Sylvan. She's doing Math and Reading with them. She almost doubled her score from the beginning of the year after she started with Sylvan in both Reading and Math. I highly recommend Sylvan and your child would probably enjoy it.

Our child has some learning issues and she does a lot better one on one. She now has a lot more confidence in reading and she's doing great with it and sounding out words, whereas before she wouldn't try or she just felt like she couldn't do it and so she just didn't. Sylvan has done a great job of not only building confidence, but also filling up the holes that were potentially there. It's definitely opened up her brain in different parts that we were struggling with too.

My child loves Sylvan and I love the follow up and the reports every month showing his progress. And throughout the month, the director calls and make sure everything is good. My son’s reading level was about third grade and now, he’s closer to fifth grade. So, it’s wonderful. He has more confidence and he’s excited to start school this year to apply some of the things he has learned. The cost is competitive in the market but Sylvan offers more, so that justifies the price. They break it down and there's the 3:1 ratio, which was very important, especially for my kids. People should go for Sylvan. It’s life changing.

My son’s grades are ugly but we’ve seen a big improvement in reading when we signed him up with Sylvan. He is more confident and now, he reads out loud everything he sees. It doesn’t matter if it’s letters so it’s great. We pulled up to the pharmacy and he was reading the sign, “COVID Vaccine.”

The tutor is focusing on my son's numbers and his sight words and his learning experience with Sylvan seems like it's raising his confidence up. They're doing good.

My son needed some help to improve class grades and he gets tutoring on English, reading, and writing from Sylvan. He has made some progress and it has been helpful a little bit. I would recommend Sylvan. It's useful.

I've been living in this neighborhood forever and I know when Sylvan first opened up. I've known about Sylvan for about 20 years. They've always had a great reputation of doing a great job with children, and I found out for myself too. My grandson, since the pandemic 2020, started having some issues with learning and with grades that had gone down. He's just a first grader. We know the tenacity, his level of maturity and we know certain things that he should be knowing and he was having some difficulty. So, immediately, I told his mom, "Look, we got to do what we got to do and I need for him to get Sylvan. And me and granddad are going to pay for it to get him the best." I know they are the best, so that's where I needed him to be.

Sylvan is close by and it's similar to Kumon. Kumon's not available in our area. So far, it's been great. The girls like it and they're getting good feedback.

With Sylvan, I have my son in the reading and writing. He's already mastered at least 20 skills, so I think very highly of Sylvan. I love it. My son is a very people child. He has interpersonal skills that are very high, and he gets along with everyone. There's a couple of tutors that he loved and then there's one that he says is very strict. I was like, "Well, that's okay. That's good." He's doing very well.

My son does math, reading and writing with Sylvan. He is learning a lot without it being difficult and they make it fun for him. He always comes out happy at the end. He likes earning the tokens that get him prizes, the one-on-one tutoring and the chance to interact with a teacher, especially coming out of COVID. My son also went to Kumon before, and Sylvan is more complete.

Sylvan is awesome, and my daughter, Amy, has no complaints about even going. She goes four hours a session, which is quite a bit, but that's because of how far we live away. They are more than accommodating for her needs and we can't say enough about what my daughter is learning and the things that she's picking up. We just had our conference and Amy's ahead of what they expected. We're done with Sylvan by the summer on August the 2nd, but we already got plans of continuing later on for other stuff. The people at the place are outstanding. Judy, the one I deal with the most, is full of information and a great person to talk to. I'm trying to get her to open up a satellite shop down here in Waterloo. We try and recommend to others and she would have better luck if she had a satellite shop here.

I heard good things about Sylvan from my husband's sister. It was my first time using a tutoring option and everything was good. We really enjoyed it. The reading and writing tutors were very friendly and I noticed a difference with my child. His writing was good and for him not being in school for a while, it was good progress for that short amount of time. It was definitely worth it. My child is no longer in the program because I had to put him in a summer camp, but when we have time to put him back, I definitely would. Overall, I highly recommend Sylvan. They're prompt, professional, and very sweet. It was nice to go and they were very positive.

The tutor has helped my child a lot. Prior to this, he wasn't participating as much at school and he just started and we already noticed that he's participating.

Everybody has been great and nice. There's a huge staff. They always call me if they have any questions. I've already done one review and I'll do another one on the 8th of July. So far, everything's going great.

My child has been loving his learning experience and he enjoys going to Sylvan. I recommend others to take their kids there if they want them to have some extra personal time where someone can help them out one-on-one. It's a good place to take your kids.

My son is progressing with Sylvan. The tutor is focusing on his English - with how he structures sentences and his comprehension. Their program is working and he's doing well.

Our son is on an IEP through his school and it was horrible. They missed a bunch of stuff when he was in his early childhood development and kept pushing him through. They weren't really taking the time to teach him all the basic knowledges. This past year, I called the Sylvan Learning Center in our area and I talked to Leah. She asked us to do the assessment. I paid for it that day and set it up. It's been nothing but good ever since. We found the IEP teacher that he's working with this past year. She came on board with Sylvan. Our son had an amazing year this year.

I had my grandson go to Sylvan and he loves to go there. He failed Math in school and they are helping him on a one-on-one basis to learn that. He's also doing English. Overall, Sylvan encouraged Sammy and they help him get out of the rut that he was in. He really likes the teachers and the teachers like him too. I had a conference with Sylvan yesterday. The way their staff explained things to me, we're gonna keep my grandson in there. If he is improving, that's what we wanted. Right now, my grandson and I are very satisfied.

We were very glad Sylvan was an option this last winter when school was partially online. It's good, but not quite where we had expected. I know there are a lot of times where the instructors with two other kids or so. It's helping, but we're going to stop doing it when school starts back up this fall. But our Sylvan has that store where they get tokens and points. And that has been the cherry on top - what keeps our daughter going. She adores getting those points and then getting to save up and cash it in. That has been hugely beneficial. We have seen improvement with her reading and her skills. And having it this summer has helped her keep up with it.

I heard of Sylvan from a friend who took her daughter there. And her daughter's performance improved markedly, so I also wanted my son to join and help him improve in his performance. He had a challenge in Reading and Math. But when they screened him, they said he was doing okay in Math, so I just enrolled him for the English part. He started end of March and he improved. And for the first time, he was on the AB honor roll in school. Overall, my experience has been good. They also gave me some learning resources to work with my son at home and during this summer. And they also give me advice on how to help him adjust. They advised me on how to encourage him, how long I should let him learn to help him focus. So, it has been very helpful. If you want your child to have confidence in class and improve performance with English, Math or any kind of school testing, then you should consider Sylvan.

My grandchild went to a boarding school in East Texas and they skipped him up to 8th grade because he's very bright. But he missed some very significant things. We were wanting him to focus on math and writing. He scored really high with Sylvan. He was freshman college in his reading assessments but he can't write a paper. I wanted him to learn how to do that.

My son is doing Math with Sylvan. They said he is doing excellently. They said that they try to do one project a day and he’s up to two a day. So he's advancing pretty quickly. He's doing more than what he's supposed to. So that’s awesome. We have an end of the month consultation and that's when they tell me what he's working on and how good he's doing. So last month for the consultation, he had completed his kindergarten and first grade stuff. He has 30 more units to finish up and he would be second-grade level.

Ryan is the director at our Sylvan center and he is fantastic. He communicates through everything and he's so polite. Also, my daughter loves all of her tutors. They've been focusing on reading and she hated reading before but she likes to read now.

My daughter is improving and getting more confident, which is what we love to see. I love the program and my daughter loves going. Also, the staff has been great with me and they're willing to work with me.

Our girls both have IEP and they've been falling behind in the school system for a long time. We've already had our first progress meeting and just by the first one, our girls have already made a ton of improvement. Sylvan is going to help get them on track to be grade level, which is something they haven't received from the school district they've been in. It's very effective for them and the kids seem to love everyone that they work with. But price-wise, I don't think it's something that many people can afford. It's pretty expensive but it's worth it.

My child likes the program and she's interested. The tutor is focusing with her reading and math. She pays more attention to details now.

Sylvan will test your child first, and then they pinpoint the weak areas. They build on them and make the foundation stronger so your child can move forward. They also have a process of making sure your child retains what they've been taught before they allow them to move on to the next section. So, they have it relevant in their mind and stored there to go to the next stage. My child loves going to Sylvan. She only says good things about them, so that's good for me.

Sylvan is a great place to go for the kids to learn and get more experience and patience. My child seems to be doing okay with it.

My daughter does Math with Sylvan. They did an evaluation, and then focused on the areas that she needed to work on. They've been very patient with her, and it's been tough because she hasn't always wanted to do this. She doesn't always want to have this one more thing to do after school. Sylvan has been very good. They're very communicative. I've really been happy with them and I would recommend them. They will customize your kid’s needs, and they're very accommodating to that.

My son is very happy with Sylvan. His grade is improving and his understanding’s better. His grasp of the material has greatly increased. He'll learn something in class, and he may not be clear on it, and those days when he goes, he feels that he gets a better explanation of it. He learns not just how to do something, but also why you do it like this, so that he can understand those steps involved. He's doing algebra with them. Algebra is not easy. So, it's something you really have to get an understanding of to be able to build on it. My son's happy with his tutors. He didn't like his time slot, but he was worried about not having access to those same tutors. So, he was even a lot more willing to stay in that time slot to ensure that he had those same tutors that he’s been working with. I'm glad I made the choice of going with Sylvan for him.

I was looking for extra help for my son for a couple subjects he was struggling in, and I came across Sylvan Learning Centers. I looked at Kumon as well, and Sylvan seemed to sound a lot better. I spoke to both of them on the phone, and Sylvan was more personable and sounded much more concerned about my son and his needs. We went with Sylvan, and I’m seeing a huge difference. I'm still kind of learning as I go but I highly recommend Sylvan. My son struggled with multiplication for the last year, and he's made more progress in the last two months at Sylvan than he has at all since third grade.

Sylvan Learning helped my son out with his reading and his confidence level. He's been doing homeschooling online and he was lacking confidence in some of the words that he would see. Now, he's able to see more words and he's able to read better. It’s been a good experience. Also, the staff is very professional and my son seems to like them a lot. They’re really friendly.

Sylvan is more specialized and a much higher caliber than in-school tutoring. I've requested them to focus on the reading aspects of my child. When they're reviewing core concepts and how they're using words, that enables my daughter to understand the material a little bit better. So, she's gaining confidence while she's doing it. The learning experience has been very positive and I've seen an improvement. Sylvan is a good resource to help your children learn better and to become more comfortable with how they're learning.

Sylvan is a great place to go. The people are friendly and flexible. The tutors build a great relationship with the students and do a good job. I noticed when we have used Sylvan, our son's grades have improved so our expectation is being met. I wish we had used them earlier. We'll probably continue to use them.

We were looking to improve our daughter's math and after 10 weeks, I have seen some improvement.

What attracted me to Sylvan was the number of in-person lessons that were available versus some of these others that were just 3-hour sessions then that was it. I felt that Sylvan had provided greater intensity. My son is focusing specifically on math then secondary is reading and writing. For every practice SAT, his scores have gone up. He took the regular SAT last weekend and felt that it was easier than the practice tests. He felt a lot more confident too. Sylvan offers an online medium as well. Unfortunately, my son does not do that but that's something that parents need to focus on. They could prep themselves by engaging more on the online prep prior to the in-person. It would probably go even further that way.

My son had fallen below his grade level likely because of virtual learning and covid. He began with Sylvan in the late part of the winter to help prepare for state testing. He met his grade level requirements and I want to see him exceed beyond that. The staff at Sylvan is very personable. We've had several meetings to track my son’s progress which have been very helpful.

Sylvan has been an excellent choice. We were desperate and going with them for our son's math worked out. My son is academically very bright, but this year was just very challenging for him for many reasons. He wasn't paying any attention in class at all so Sylvan was teaching him the concepts that he paid no attention to. He genuinely likes it whenever he goes and he feels very comfortable there. He has also gotten good rapport with his tutor. If you're looking for something, sit down and think about what you want from the tutoring. Our expectation was purely to get our son through the school year. Things have worked out wonderfully and we feel very confident being with Sylvan. The people whom we've spoken to have all been very good.

My son has been struggling with reading and he wasn't comprehending at first. He hasn’t been going to Sylvan that long but I have noticed he's trying a lot more. His confidence is built up where he's excited about trying to read and find out the words. I get updates on the regular and everyday, my son comes home and tells me how his session went. I would get a little slip of what he and his tutor went over throughout the evening and what subjects they focused on for the day. Sylvan is a great start for your child to improve.

I would tell others to go to Sylvan. I went there for about 2 years when I was in middle school and high school and it did help me to pass the state test for math. I wanted my son to go there because I had success. This time, it's the same nearly as when I was there. They've been helpful. You have to go 2 hours a week and it’s required for 10 months. Sometimes, I wish we didn't have to go 2 hours a week but I understand why. They need the extra help. It's hard when we're out of town. But what's great about them this time is that they offer Zoom where we can do Zoom learning. My son has done that and that goes well. We have a conference set up at the end of May to see how my son's doing. He's only been going since March but his reading teacher has told me that she has seen a little bit of a difference in him.

My children have moved through the online learning. They've been able to more than keep up and reach beyond where their classmates are at, especially through COVID and the lack of education that they were getting. It was tough but they didn’t suffer at all because they’ve had Sylvan this whole time, especially in Math, because that's a building block piece. So, they've done well. We did it through the end of the school year last year and then we took the summer off. Our tutor emailed us a couple times. I changed my address and they wanted to send a Christmas card. I said that we could do Sylvan again so we got back to tutoring for the spring. We're very happy. I've referred a couple of friends and I take the car load every Monday and Wednesday of my friends’ kids.

A friend of mine told me about Sylvan Learning. She had his son for a few years with them and he told me how amazing was that for him and how he improved in school. I made the appointment and when I met Christina, I felt so comfortable and enrolled my kids right away. We are Spanish speakers and my kids are trying to learn more English to understand and learn the way to solve math problems here in the US. We're heading to 3 months and they've improved so much. They're doing so well. On Mondays they go there for 3 hours and for the rest of the week, they go there for 2 hours only. They are so happy to go there because the teachers show them how to do the things in a very clear way. They love their teachers. They are very excited to improve at this speed. They hope to be able to go to 7th and 8th grade in a better way and feel more comfortable. Sylvan has a great method. It’s so cool the way they do the things and evaluate. Every 15 days, they update me how the kids are doing. I'm very happy.

We're doing Sylvan for Math for my daughter who's 17. We really matched well. She really likes her Sylvan Learning tutor. So, it was a really good bet. She felt comfortable with her right away. She was able to express her questions easily. The biggest part is she felt like she was really understanding and nice, and that there was a lot of follow up questions by the tutor to figure out why she wouldn't understand something.

Sylvan's price is the same as where I'm just paying upfront. But, the nice thing about it is that I have a specific program that is guaranteed and a schedule. Plus, it's not a fly-by-night organization. I just drop my child off and she enjoys it. It helps and I've been very pleased. Also, the people from Sylvan whom I meet are really nice. My child really likes them.

Give Sylvan a chat and see what they can do for your kid because they've been a great help for us. The cost of their service is better than most of the other providers that I've looked at. Our daughter has gained confidence in asking questions about different math problems. However, I haven't got a ton of feedback from the tutor until recently when I asked. So it's not like I'm really getting reports on how the tutoring is going. They have the portal, but it is not really updated as far as how she's progressing through the program.

I heard a lot of good things about Sylvan. I also teach and I heard other people that had used it and were pleased. My child's doing Math. His grades went up because he had help with the homework. Then he got better grades as a result of that. Plus, he understood what he was doing more because he had the extra explanation on stuff if he didn't understand something. He loves the experience. He felt the connection with his tutor. He really liked him, which made him much more positive about it and wanna do better and listen to him. In fact, he asked himself if he could continue when the sessions had ended. For him, it was a big deal.

I talked to Savannah from Sylvan and she knows what she's doing there with the kids. I feel really comfortable with her and I feel free to call and see how my son is doing and she will keep a really good record. My son is in second grade and he's really behind in letters, sounds, and reading. Since going there, I've noticed that if we're driving, he sees letters and he would say, "Oh, mommy, this is what I learned. This is the sound here and there." Sylvan is really making a difference in his education. I'm really pleased and happy that I decided to take him there.

A lady at work told me how well Sylvan helped her teenage granddaughter get organized and learn how to study. Sylvan is now helping my son in Writing. The tutors were wonderful. My son enjoys learning with Sylvan. It's fun learning.

Sylvan is one that we've heard about where we live as an option. I heard from a few other families and coworkers I work with that they enjoyed Sylvan as well. Although we don’t have a ton of options at Eau Claire, we heard good things about them, so we wanted to give it a try. The Eau Claire office that we go to has been fantastic. We’ve been super happy. I work primarily with Silvia to set everything up and she's been fantastic and very understanding. She's super easy to work with, listens, and seems to care where my child's struggling.

When I spoke with the Sylvan rep, he was really thorough and he explained the process and what they do. They were really reassuring to my son because he was nervous. He did pretty well in the exam and we set up a plan for him. The teachers are nice and they get the kids. It's a good atmosphere that's motivating for them. They're very accommodating. I've seen a change in my son with his reading and in his class. I asked him if he feels like it's been easier for him since he has been going to Sylvan and he said "definitely". Go ahead with Sylvan tutoring. It's worth every penny.

The staff are very friendly and understanding, and I like that about them. We just started and they’re working on the fundamentals and building my child up. He's enjoying it, but he also said that he played a lot of games on the computer. If that is true, I would like for it to be more hands-on like the other place he was going to.

Sylvan is focusing on reading and language arts. They also recommend some math tutoring but said that reading should be my biggest focus. My daughter has only been going for a little while but she's more willing to actually try and she enjoys going there. She reads more now and she's a little more willing to read. She's enjoying going there. The reason we homeschool is because of experiences with our public school system. So, with my daughter, I was worried about putting her under tutoring because she was not good with teachers. So, the fact that she loves everybody over at Sylvan all and she comes home happy tells me that they're all good people. Sylvan costs money but if you finance it, it's worth it because, in the long run, it'll help your kids. If they enjoy learning in the long run, that's even better.

My daughter is going to Sylvan for reading. She is attending the one in Columbus, Georgia. They're very informative. So, I feel good with sending her as she seems to be happy to go. Sylvan has met all of my expectations so far, the demeanor of the facility, the customer service at the place, and the cleanliness. My daughter has been at school and I see some improvements. As she continues to go and we continue to work with her, she'll be better.

As far as it compares, Sylvan is by far way more advanced and way more in tune with what the children need in where they are and to be able to teach them to where they are and continue to give them the confidence and the abilities and skills to be the best that they can be and be comfortable in their education where it is at the time. They were absolutely fabulous with us. They walked us through the whole process. They explained everything and they waited for all of the hoops that had to be jumped through in order to have her start.

My son was failing in school as far as math goes. His school recommended something else because he's autistic also. But I called the professionals at Sylvan and they said they could bring those math grades up. After they tested him, we sat down and had a conference. The lady was wonderful with her insight and her recommendations. My son looks forward to going there every time he's scheduled to go. Anything I want, I can ask and they'll be happy to tell me. They're doing their jobs. They crack the whip, though, and they don't like to wait. Once I talked to my son's teacher, they were even delighted that I took my son there. I'll recommend anybody with a child to go to Sylvan. They can work with anybody, and not anybody can do that.

Sylvan mainly went back to the basics because when they tested my son about vowels and he didn't know all his vowels. My son's level of the motivation to learn has excelled and they never make him feel like he's doing bad even if he's motivated, 'cause they're always motivating. Sylvan Learning is worth it.

Sylvan has been so much more helpful for math purposes because of the fact that the kids are in an environment where there are incentives. So the kids really want to do better and get those rewards. I have a child that's in fourth grade and then one that's in seventh grade. Sylvan has been super helpful for my daughter in seventh grade because she has been put into the harder math group and she's been stressing out. She thinks that if she can bring her harder math there, and it's another perspective and another strategy that they use, that's helpful for her getting it locked in. She's so used to getting it really quick, with just regular math, but when you switch over to algebraic math, she's having a little bit more of a transition struggle. The teachers at school require them to have the algebraic strategy written out. But the tactics that the Sylvan tutor has shown her have been helpful to figure it out.

My son loves the classes at Sylvan and he looks forward to it. That's one less thing to worry about because I just drop him off and then he's happy. The subject areas he is focused on are Math and Reading. He has just started less than a month ago and it's still a work in progress. But he's getting better and he's reading faster. We also got the schedule that I wanted. Sylvan helped my daughter and my son and I would recommend Sylvan to anybody who's struggling and needs a little boost.

My child is doing Reading and he just started Math three weeks ago. He's in the fourth grade. Last school year, he was falling behind and he's reading slowly. And then, it just got worse. And the teacher said that he wasn't reading at the fourth grade level, so I got nervous. So, I said, "Okay, so let me just figure some things out and see about getting some extra help." He has been doing tutoring with Sylvan for two days a week for reading and it has helped a lot. His reading has improved. He's getting higher grades than he got before.

My daughter was using reading and she went up about 10-grade points. Her grade went from a 65 to a 75. Everything worked well with the way they were educated and from what I saw on my daughter's actual performance, it was good. Sylvan is a very helpful program for your kids and if they're struggling, they get a minute.

I've seen improvement with my granddaughter's reading. Before I told the teachers that she was being tutored, they had noticed that she's doing very well and she's advanced. Her test scores have spiked up tremendously.

This is the first time my son has ever done tutoring with anybody and he has gone to Sylvan for 14 sessions. Everything has been good. He is focusing on reading but there is also some Math included. His writing is a little better and he is able to express himself way more than just a sentence. He's able to write a full paragraph, where he feels confident. His understanding of the main idea of the readings and the whole character-wise has also improved. I'm enjoying getting the weekly feedback from Sarah through emails or messages. These are private reports of what is going on. Everything is great with Sylvan so far.

Sylvan focuses on Math for my child and they said he has improved. He has a better attitude towards Math and hopefully, he will be progressing a lot more than what they're teaching at school currently because with the virtual learning and the whole pandemic situation, he was behind in Math. The experience with Sylvan was never disappointing.

We are working on our child's math and reading with Sylvan. The tutor keeps in contact with me the whole time. With math, he seems to be more confident and he has been getting better grades. But, there's a lot of stuff that he struggled with with reading and comprehension. So, he's actually going through more testing through his physician's office to see if there's something else that hinders his learning ability. The service is worth it to get the help you need. It has helped amazingly with my son.

The lady who works with my daughter is good about communicating. She's good about checking our email so if I ever send anything to her, she gets it quickly and responds quickly too. My daughter likes working with her and I love that the time schedule is so flexible. My daughter’s focus is on psychology and study skills. Her grade has improved in Psychology. It is an AP class and it’s very difficult. She’s only in tenth grade and it’s college level material. She's very capable because she always has been and she's always been very disciplined and mature for her age. But that maturity has slowed down a whole lot and she wasn't applying herself. Also, there’s a boyfriend involved now. He’s a good kid and I try to remind myself that I was a teenager once too. So, I know that it's a phase she's going through. But I got to the point where I have to do something to help her.

My eight-year-old daughter has been struggling a bit with instability in school brought about by COVID. And we noticed, like a lot of kids, she was disengaging and falling behind particularly in Reading. Her grandma suggested I look into Sylvan. I gave them a call and took my daughter in for an evaluation that day, we liked what we saw and heard, and went ahead and signed up.

I decided to use Sylvan because a mom friend spoke highly of it. Sylvan worked really well for my friend’s child. I have confidence that it’s gonna have the same effect on my twins. Signing up seemed pretty simple enough. I tried getting a little bit better pricing so that took a little bit of back and forth. We started at Sylvan right before spring break. We went once or twice before spring break then we were gone and now, we're starting up again. The tutors seemed great, so far. There’s one main tutor and the second one we use for one of the children. They all seem really nice. The kids typically come back into the car happy and they've never complained.

Sylvan is flexible and works with our schedule. Laurie, our contact person, is very accommodating and responsive to requests really quickly. We have several choices of tutors and so far, everyone’s been a pretty good match, except one. When I asked my daughter if she's had her again, she said no. I had one tutor who gave me positive feedback about the encounter. That was really helpful. So far, it's good. My daughter did one test already and she did improve her score. We're taking another test and I'm really hoping she hits the number we're looking for. Depending on what the next test shows, I would confidently say it can make a difference.

My son’s doing Sylvan and I am very pleased with them. It’s a little expensive but I wasn’t put off by that. I wasn’t happy that they had class on Easter Sunday but that's not a big deal. I've spoken to Erin several times and she's very helpful and informative. She returns my calls and texts sometimes. We're waiting for my son's SAT scores. He took SATs on March 24th and he said he felt better.

We liked the convenience of where Sylvan is located. Everything has been extremely easy. I sent an email and within 40 minutes, we got a phone call. We talked with the director, we got in the following week, and we were able to get a game plan together fairly quickly, The focus for our child is reading and we're definitely seeing improvement. My son enjoys the tutor. He had a couple of substitutes that he really liked too and one he asked if he could get every time. Our son is really thriving from the smaller class-sized experience with Sylvan. There should be consistency in what we're doing with Sylvan, what we're doing with the school, and what we're doing at home. That variety is helping.

My kids were failing in school during virtual learning because they were not getting the proper time on the computer. They were backward from the time that they got out of school and never progressed. One of my kids was having a problem and she couldn't go to tutoring because of the pandemic. That's when I started looking into tutoring. I saw that Sylvan was doing the tutoring in person. I wanted that because my kids are better in person than on the computer.

Sylvan is a good program. The people working there are very knowledgeable and helpful. As far as what I'm getting from it, I feel happy about it. It's very important for kids to have that kind of program. But sometimes, it's pricey for families that would like to have the same assistance. And sometimes, it was hard for me to be able to afford the program. But for working families or a single mom, it's a lot. Pricing is the only thing that I will ask for some help or assistance, not just for me, but for any other family in need. If Sylvan could offer any kind of assistance, that would be great. Not just an extended payment plan, because when you extend the payment, it costs more money. That doesn't make much sense.

With COVID coming on, my daughter felt like she didn't complete 8th grade. She didn't learn everything that she needed to prepare her for high school. I gave Sylvan a call and they were really nice about it. We did an assessment test after which my daughter has been going there ever since and she told me she learned a whole lot. She's in the 9th grade now.

My daughter is tutoring for reading. I have been seeing more improvement with my daughter because she's been more confident in her reading and she's becoming more fluent. They were helping her work on her fluency in her reading and now she's picking it up. I've noticed, which I've told them this from the very beginning, that she reads the way she talks. So they’ve been trying to help her talk faster, as well. We have monthly reviews of letting me know my daughter's progress and it’s very sufficient. I really like it. They are very thorough as well. So far, so good. At first, she was borderline kindergarten to make 1st grade. Now she's completely 1st grade and moving up to 2nd grade level.

I heard about Sylvan a lot. I heard about them since I was in college myself for tutoring services for pre-MCAT. I also heard about them from my Rochester public school, through mass email list. They send advertisements all the time. I also heard about them from other parents. Sylvan is very good at keeping everything positive and keeping my daughter interested in learning. Two hours at a time is probably too long for someone her age and disposition.

Sylvan is very forthcoming. It gives you all of the information, they tell you where your kids are struggling and how to build them back up, and they give you all of the proof right there on the table. The tutor built my daughter's confidence back up to where she realized she had the capabilities of performing at her full capacity. She was fabulous. It is worth the investment to make sure your kid is succeeding.

Focusing on Reading gave my son a bit of a confidence boost to help him read better. We only did it for a month. Sylvan gave me good updates on how progress went, set realistic expectations, let me know if I needed to come back in. They were very professional. They would keep his records. It was an overall good experience.

Sylvan was willing to explain how to fix my daughter's reading problem. It sounded great. My daughter had to see the tutors twice a week. And the director was very happy to fix everything that was going on. The director kept us on top of everything, explained how many classes she would need, how long it would take, what they were seeing at midpoint. And it was great communication.

Sylvan's communication has been a little inconsistent at times, but overall, it has been okay. The initial evaluation testing and how they had a meeting with the parents to go over what they tested was great. Also, I like that they have progress reports every four to six weeks. And I can see what my daughter is working on online. I'm seeing more confidence in her, and more of an effort to learning. It has been great. We're already thinking about putting in our next child, if he needs any help.

My daughter lost the love of learning, being what happened with COVID. She didn't know what really even school was and the whole learning on the computer thing was just not her style. So she lost a lot of confidence and motivation. Sylvan has worked with her and she’s doing really well. The biggest thing that has come out of that is her confidence and her love of learning is back. She likes the token system that they use. That’s a good motivator. She also really likes her tutor. She has her days where she doesn't want to go but then she comes out of it and she can go for two hours. She really loves it. It has really been amazing seeing her change like that.

Sylvan Learning Center is a great place and it's reasonably priced. I used them many years ago when my children were young and I had great results from them. My grandson is struggling because of missing so much school because of COVID. He does not do well with virtual learning and he was having a real hard time. We have put him in Sylvan and he has really begun to understand and thrive. We went in for a quick interview and went over the things that my grandson needed to work on. The guy there explained to us exactly what they were going to do.

Sylvan Learning Center was so fast to respond, so I went with them. Overall, they were friendly. When I'm in there picking him up, I usually ask the tutor how he's doing throughout the week. The subject he's in is ELA and he's on track.

After speaking with Courtney from Sylvan, she made us feel really comfortable and she was really nice. My son is in Pre-K, so the focus is more letters than reading. He's learning a lot. They don't do tutoring on Fridays, but they do it on Saturday. With our schedule, it would be nice if Fridays were open. Other than that, they're doing a great job.

I’ll highly recommend Sylvan. They're fantastic. They are very focused on the areas where my son was lacking skills from. When the pandemic hit, he couldn't get to finish all his kindergarten, so they started him off where he left off in kindergarten, and then got him up to middle of first grade level. Their goal was to have him middle of second grade level by the time the year's over.

I was looking online to get help for my daughter. I wanted something that was established and I could trust because I tried other things earlier and they didn't pan out. I heard in the past about Sylvan from other people. So when I saw them, it was like, "Okay, that's right." It was very easy to get started and I love them. My daughter is in sixth grade and she had tested at a second grade level. She refused to do anything at school. Now, we're focusing on getting her up to speed with Math. She is starting to be more positive about learning and starting to do better at school. I've already told her she's probably gonna stay with Sylvan until she's 18. I recommend Sylvan to everybody I see who's having trouble with their kids. It's great.

I called and Sylvan knew exactly what I needed. We're having issues with reading comprehension and they said, "You've come to the right place." They did an assessment, we came up with a plan, and everything has been very orderly and organized, which has been great. They gave us a very nice assessment in the beginning and in the next couple of weeks, we'll do a marking against that assessment to see what kind of progress we're making. It has only been five weeks, but we feel we are seeing progress already.

The tutor is getting my son more prepared for the SATs and for college. It's helping get him up to speed. He said positive things about Sylvan because it's definitely helping.

My son was in the hospital and got behind in this College Statistics class that he was doing in high school. He needed to get caught up. When I made an inquiry online to ask about whether it would be something that my son would benefit from, the man from Sylvan Learning got back to me that same day. It was on a Sunday. He was just immediately very involved and helpful. Then the next day, my husband took our son to the learning center. It was great. The professor from Sylvan was also marvelous. I was very impressed.

My child had a significant self-confidence boost since going to Sylvan. Our tutor is great. I highly recommend her. She's definitely worth the money.

They have progress written down on a paper, but it would be a little more informative to be able to speak with the person that’s doing the tutoring with my child so I can get a better understanding of his progress, or what he needs to work on, instead of sitting down and speaking with the director. It’s also a little expensive. But if you have the opportunity to even try it out for a couple of months, it’s worth it. Before, my child would give up really easily. Right now, he is putting a little more effort into trying to solve the things that he didn’t understand or was lacking fundamentals.

My child is seven and he's starting out with the basics like letterings and sounds because he's behind because of the COVID. I spoke with the teachers yesterday and they were saying they see a big improvement so I am satisfied. Sylvan is excellent and it's well-needed.

We've had positive experiences with Sylvan. We have used Sylvan in the past with our younger child. A year's worth of tutoring to Sylvan was successful. Our child was having trouble with math. We had moved multiple schools in their building block years. When he was in third grade, we were debating on retaining him and decided to try Sylvan over the summer. We saw a big improvement in between his third and fourth grade year, and he is on par to taking more advanced math classes now. So, it definitely worked.

My brother who is now 40 used Sylvan way back in like the mid-90s so we're familiar with the program. My son is five and this is the first tutoring that we've done. The tutor is helping him with reading and learning letters. It's a very early childhood type thing. Sylvan has levels at this early age and my son has increased three reading levels in two months. It's unheard of and it's been amazing. Sylvan has been well worth the experience and it's definitely cost-effective. They're very welcoming at the center and they have a family-oriented atmosphere. All-around, it's been a great experience for us.

All the staff at Sylvan center were incredible. Always organized accommodating, and compassionate. My daughter improved tremendous in her academics. I appreciate all Giovanna did for us! I would definitely recommend Sylvan Learning Centers to all parents. Annette

Somebody recommended Sylvan to me. My child's focus is Math right now. She has the confidence to work on her own and she has learned new ways to solve a problem. There are different ways to solve a problem to get to the same answer. That's one thing that has helped her. She went from a D to an A. Every time somebody told me something about their kid having problems at school, especially virtual learning, I would say, "Go to Sylvan 'cause they got my kids together." She enjoys the experience.

Sylvan is a great match for my child. They are compassionate and caring. My child is now doing Math and the learning style of how the teacher is breaking down the different steps and the concepts in an easy-to-understand approach. It's also a one-on-one approach. It allows my child to be able to focus directly on that teacher and those steps without it having a lot of other students involved. It was indicated that there would be a monthly assessment. I've had it on my to do list to do that because that's probably something on me that I have access to and I've just not taken the appropriate steps. That assessment is to be able to get a monthly update on my child's progression with the skills that he's mastering.

Sylvan Learning is great to work with and people should definitely look into it. My child is doing PreACT and she was given study guides. She's just sitting down and answering questions. She's still in it until April. She's still in the middle of the test prep. With the program, she seems more confident. There are areas that she doesn't like to do and Sylvan is pushing her into working in the areas that she doesn't enjoy.

Sylvan is close to our house. I have two children, and they're in SAT prep. They like going.

Sylvan focused on sounds, letter recognition and number with my daughter who is in kindergarten. It's a stepping stone for all kids at that age. We felt our daughter was going to miss out. The teacher didn't come to us and tell us. We just had to nail it in, and then keep drawing her to give us more information. Based on her progress report, we weren't satisfied. It seemed like she was behind so then, we went and had her assessed. And when they told us that she was a semester behind, then we just wanted to make sure that she grasped all the new concepts in kindergarten to make sure that she can carry that forward in first grade. Since our daughter has been to Sylvan, we noticed that when we do our homework with her, she's more independent and identifies recognition of numbers. Before, she couldn't count past 10. And now, she counts ahead of that and identifies with all the number sequences, sounds, letter recognition. We could tell.

We like Sylvan's flexible scheduling. The tutor is focusing on Math and I notice an improvement. They're doing a great job.

We checked in with Kumon and they were super flaky, never got back to us, set an appointment and then cancelled it. So, we checked out Sylvan and just had a good feel for them right away. We reached out because of the obvious COVID issues with school and kids not getting enough direction and what they need. On Math, the tutor is focused with the actual lesson that my son is working on at that time, and then language arts, fundamental items. He has a lot more confidence. It has been nice for him to have somebody that knows the information inside and out that can help him with stuff right away instead of me trying to fumble through the internet or whatever resource. He's doing good. He's high B and low As this time.

My son is a very good reader. But the hardest thing I have with him is getting him to learn how to write and really comprehend what he has read. I heard about how a lot of kids advance and learn really quickly from their teachers. That is why I put him into Sylvan and so far, so good. My son really loves Sylvan. He tells me all the time how he loves the atmosphere and how his teachers are so pleasant. They make learning fun. I've seen my son's grades come up a little and I can tell that he’s really trying to grasp the concept of reading comprehension. So our experience with Sylvan is phenomenal. I hope that they continue to rub off all their love and wisdom to all the kids that they encounter on a daily basis.

Sylvan, so far, has been more personable and more nurturing, as well as academic. The tutoring is focused on Math. My child's grades have improved a little. He's more confident in his ability of what to do. I'm very happy. I would definitely recommend it.

My daughter is dyslexic. She was struggling really badly with her phonics and reading. I needed to find something that could possibly put her to where she needed to be as far as her academics so I decided to try Sylvan from a referral from a boss. My daughter is still in the tutoring right now. She's reading complete sentences now, whereas she wasn't at first. Sylvan has helped her tremendously. It was money well spent.

We did not enjoy Kumon for the reason that they had homework that my son would have to take home. My son goes to a private school. So to keep up that homework plus Kumon's homework was not working. Then if you missed a day, then you had to redo all those pages. So it was giving more stress than helping. So I took him out of that and we went to Sylvan. My son is way more into sports than studies and he loves going there. He loves the people at Sylvan. I asked him the other day who his favorite teachers were, and he named all of them. That's saying a lot coming from a kid that doesn't enjoy studying all the time. So they've been great.

We got our son into Sylvan for Reading and so far, he has not had a full report card yet, but his progress report grade as we're benchmarking it seemed a little bit higher than they previously had. And he seems to be a few grade levels behind. So, a slight improvement is all I would be expecting from school at this point. He also seems to be more focused on the material since he started with Sylvan and I've noticed some small improvements in our conversations. So hopefully, that's helpful. All in all, our experience with Sylvan has been great and our son has really good experiences with all of the tutors, but there were a few that he was really gravitated toward that seemed to work for his learning style.

Our daughter was writing an essay to get into a youth leadership program. My husband and I had been working with her, but it seemed like we needed more help because we're not teachers. In general, we just didn't have the knowledge to help her. Sylvan started out with our daughter four weeks to help her with the essay by the time it was turned in. They helped her write about the topic, “What is leadership?” They helped her write an intro to that. Then they helped her write some supporting areas of what is leadership and a conclusion. After those four weeks, she started doing the writing program. She likes the service. She always comes home in a good mood. She likes having support outside of having her parents help her.

Because of Covid, no one was really wanting to do tutoring at home so we went with Sylvan, which was our only option. Right now, the tutor is focused on reading and writing. When my son first started, he was reading at a 1.2 level. The tutor has just tested him last week and he's now at a 1.9 level. So he's increasing, which is good. The tutors are very personable and always nice. They know your children's names and they're very personal with your kids.

Sylvan is great. They've helped to get my daughter more engaged and interested. The tutor focuses on math with her and everything is going great. She loves it and she looks forward to it.

I've seen where my grandbaby needed some help, so I figured, “Well, I'll school him through my own,” and I've seen Sylvan's name popped up. I said, "Well, I'm gonna try." He's doing okay, so far. He's like, "Grandma, I don't want to go to school and learn no more. Do I have to do this alone?" "Yes, you do." "Why grandma? I want to go play." "No. You gotta get this done, baby." "I don't have to go today?" "Yes, you're going today. You get three days out of a week to go." It's awesome. Try. You are gonna like it. You wanna go back.

When I started looking into tutoring services, Sylvan is only six minutes away from my home. Plus, when I looked them up online, I saw some good reviews, as well as they had a free evaluation. They were the only place I looked into and just decided on. My son goes for Reading. But he did test that he could use some Math help. But we decided that the Reading was more urgent to get him going. And we would just focus on that, hoping everything else would follow once the reading got that closer to where it needed to be.

My daughter feels more confident and more comfortable with reading now. She seems to enjoy reading more since attending the tutor. But we still have a little ways to go. I would suggest Sylvan highly because they're very good. They're very helpful in helping to provide reminders to ensure that the student is able to participate in her sessions. It's great in the current times that we're in, that they offer the ability to have tutoring virtually because the other place that I was using before didn't have that ability to offer that as a service.

When my daughter started remote learning, immediately, she was having some challenges in math that she had never had before with the in-person learning model. I started doing research. I googled math tutors in our area. Sylvan came up with a couple local owners. I was familiar with the Sylvan name from commercials, and I also went to Sylvan when I was a child in Oregon.

With the coronavirus and all that stuff that's been going on with my son in school, there was a decline in some of his reading. He's in first grade, so this is kind of their foundation being set up. So I was looking into who were still open and available for help, and Sylvan was one of the options that was nearby, and that I had seen over the course of years, like even from when I was in school. When I'm thinking of tutoring or help for a child, I would look for somebody that has longevity like Sylvan versus other word of mouth places that I've heard.

My daughter has improved a lot while going with Sylvan. She's always been a 4.0 kid. Aside from the fact that the world is a dumpster fire and her tutoring was not assisting her at all, she was having a really tough time with AP Calc. So, it wasn't that she wasn't turning anything in or she was just literally bombing the tests. Sylvan has really helped her grasp the concepts of it and passing her tests now. She has significantly improved her grades. It was worth every penny.

Sylvan is close by my house and a friend goes to it. So, I signed up my daughter for tutoring in Math and Writing. She seems to be improving and the tutoring is keeping her up with her class now. Her experience with Sylvan has been great and she's enjoying it.

I had a family member that used Sylvan Learning for a long time. They like it. When I initiated taking my son to Sylvan Learning, I assumed that maybe he had a learning problem. My son enjoyed going to Sylvan Learning, but just observing him, we have come to the conclusion that he doesn't have a problem. He just doesn't enjoy reading. Going to Sylvan Learning did excite him, and he loved his tutors. But what we couldn't fix was just him wanting to do it. That is the problem, it is not that he had a problem and he needed help. I would absolutely suggest Sylvan Learning to someone who need tutoring because of the friendliness of the staff and the way that they care, and the pricing, too. We were able to get a military discount, which was a big help to me with everything that I had been dealing with.

The tutoring focused on my child's writing, the anxiety of taking the thoughts and putting them on paper. Now we're getting ideas on paper. She is actually writing and wants to be there to write so that's huge. Sylvan Learning is definitely worth a try.

My oldest is working on test prep and my younger daughter is encompassing of all subjects. I hope she'll be more organized and gain some more confidence in what she's doing and what she's learning. Overall, I've been very impressed with Sylvan's service. They're very thorough and encouraging.

We work out of the Carmel, Indiana Sylvan. As soon as I made a request for more information, I received a phone call in five minutes. We were sitting in the office the very next day, scheduling assessments. They were right on it. Our child does both math and reading. Instead of pushing forward with what she was learning, they backtracked and mastered some of the gaps in her knowledge before they got current, and that really solidified her being able to move forward.

Sylvan was pretty honest with my wife. She felt she could trust them. She did it for her brother. They thought she should reach other avenues first. They actually didn't help him. He was just having trouble with school.

They have actual certified teachers versus students teaching. We're still working on math and then our tutor is gonna go with my son for the ACT testing. Within one or two sessions, you could see a difference. He was excited about it again, and his grade's already gone up a whole level. I love it. I've sent it to all my friends since kids have been struggling. It boosts their mental mindset of school. It helps them.

I was looking online for tutoring services and there were two places that I inquired. I asked on their website to give me more information and of the two places, Sylvan replied first. They called me literally the next day, and I was blown away by how quick their response was. Even their availability to make an appointment for the assessment was really quick. We set up an assessment pretty much the next day. At the assessment, the director showed me what the price options were for the packages. I like that they had the prepaid sessions. We signed up for the prepaid 60-session. Also, they were willing to work with me on dividing up the payment. So, we set up on a four-month plan. They were very flexible with me, which I appreciate.

Before, I used a friend's son in high school as a tutor. He went to college so we have to find someone else. With Sylvan, the tutors are adult so it's a much better experience. They focus every day on one thing, which is good. That makes it more, for my son, to practice. The learning experience is much easier for him. I would definitely recommend it.

Sylvan evaluated my son first and figured out where he was struggling. They figured out where they had to go back and start, and then move forward. So, they have a whole plan of what skills to develop with him. He's done some 30 sessions right now and he's already moved up a grade in his knowledge base. His confidence levels are really high. It's a lot higher than what they were when he started. He's always struggled in math. He told me the other week that he really likes Sylvan because they take their time. They don't rush him. He likes math for the first time in forever. So they're helping him. I would definitely recommend them. I was a little leery going in because my son does have a learning disability when it comes to math. But in just over a month of him doing these classes, there's a total difference in him. He doesn't fight me to get online to do the classes.

We have them right now for Reading and the one-to-one attention helped. Soon, we'll have them for Math. I'm satisfied with my experience so far.

My son is in the 2nd grade and we have Sylvan for Reading. There's a little bit of improvement. We speak with the teachers from time to time and they said he was doing really good. I like Sylvan. My son loves it.
