Great team that's making a big difference in my young person's reading skills and confidence! They are empowering him to learn on his own and kindling his passion for education!

Rebecca Green

Just starting out with Sylvan, they are kind, clear and take all the time you need to explain and share how their programs work. I'm grateful to have this service available for my children and the community.

Cassie Nance

My daughter is very behind in reading and we started in June and she has made huge gains. She enjoys going more than going to school. She is doing so well that we added in Math! They have been more than accommodating for us. She has showed so much more confidence and actually picks up books and reads them.

Curtis Nance

My Daughter, Leadie, loves going to “school” here. She shares her smile o grams every time she gets into the car! They are great with her different abilities and work well at understanding her. Can't recommend them enough!!

Sylvan has been a great addition to our son's overall academic Improvement. Our son's confidence in his academic abilities has skyrocketed since beginning his journey there. We're so grateful to see such positive growth since adding Sylvan to our family. Thank you to the staff there at Sylvan in Ames.

Taryn Randall

Sylvan has been a wonderful resource for our family. Our son's confidence in his academic abilities has skyrocketed since beginning his journey there. That growth has carried over into every part of his life — his schoolwork, his mood, and his overall confidence. We're so grateful for the positive changes we've seen.
