Boys think it's fun. Elijah says, "it's fun because I learnt"
Dominic, my son really likes this. I think it's five stars because they have great learning and my son likes it This place is awesome and amazing !!!
Every day I came out and said that I never wanted to leave. Penny (the student)
Going to tutoring here is really helping my daughters gain confidence in their reading. They really enjoy attending and I can see a difference in their skills growing.
Hi, Elvin really likes this place. I would wish it could be better.
I have improved a lot in reading. And the admins are nice.
I love this place and the staff is really good. It teaches really well and I really enjoy it. It is very nice and clean and very spacious. Reccomend it for everyone.
I take my cousins to Sylvan every week. They all enjoy going to the center. Staff is very kind and resourceful. A nice little center my cousins enjoy learning at.
In just a month both boys (1st & 4th) have progressed and moving toward at or above grade level
It's a great tutoring spot for kids at any age
It's very curious and quite-- a great environment for learning
My child has made a huge amount of improvement in his math skills since starting. Happy to keep him in and hopefully get beyond his grade level.
My daughter loves coming here! She thinks Jeff is the best thing ever. I love the token thing
My grandson Finnley recently completed his tutoring in writing. Despite having good grades in other subjects he has been resistant to developing his writing skills. I spoke to Finnley today and inquired about his experience at Sylvan. My grandson went into great detail about his "favorite place essay" , a place which I am familiar with. I am not an educator but as a nurse, I have done much teaching and writing. I am impressed with Finnley's new found enthusiasm for writing.
My grandson hated writing and as a teacher, I could see that he wasn't confident and was missing some basic skills. Writing is difficult to teach but Sylvan has made a writer out of my grandson. He really enjoys it, is motivated, and from the reports my daughter has sent to me, he's making some nice progress. I would recommend checking this program out.
My grandson was a frustrated and not at all confident writer. He really disliked writing and as a teacher myself, I knew he had missed some basic skills during Covid. He started Sylvan and has now become more confident, proficient, according to the reports my daughter has sent, and best of all, he enjoys it. I would highly recommend checking this program out to see if it's a good fit for your child.
My kids learned from sylvan so much past few years and we still have class for my daughter twice a week which is amazing. Afra and Maddie are very nice to young learners each day welcoming them and saying good by the end of the class. She is always ready to attend the class. If anyone looking for tutor for your children try sylvan November sell which is best price for the year. I highly recommend it for anyone Thanks
My kids writing skills have improved significantly since he started classes here!
Sylvan learning has been a great experience. My son enjoys coming to the sessions and has made progress with his learning. The staff are helpful and very responsive. Overall a wonderful experience. Addendum: my son enjoys coming and even prefers this to other after school activities. He continues to be motivated with the lessons after 6 months and has shown great progress.
Tengo que agradecer el apoyo para mi hija y el aprendizaje ella está feliz y con más confianza
This place is so nice now I am great at multiplication facts
This place is very great. It helped me reach my learning goals and helped my grades go up. So yeah this place is great I highly recommend you to check it
We enrolled our boy (10 years old at the time , now he is 11) at the end of March . He was behind in Math and English ,he was losing confidence on his learning skills. School tried to help him but I didn't notice a lot of improvement. I was mainly concerned about his self steam being low because he didn't understand in class. I Tried helping him at home , but I realized I wasn't a teacher and I wasn't encouraging him , on the opposite we both got frustrated often, trying to follow a class on youtube ! He just wasn't learning much from this routine. Finally I decided to try Sylvan , my boy took a test at the end of March ( to find out his grade level) and we started right away . I regret not finding Sylvan sooner . As of today July 1st my boy's mentality has changed , we had set up a goal together back in March ( catching up to his grade level , so he can feel confident to learn in class ) I see him going to Sylvan with a positive attitude even if he is tired . I know we are not there yet , but we are definitely in the right direction. Tuition is well worth it. Staff is beyond emphatic and friendly . Schedule is flexible Thanks for helping kids learn.
We've had a wonderful experience with Sylvan Learning Center. My kids genuinely enjoy going, which says a lot because learning support can sometimes feel overwhelming for children. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and really know how to connect with each child in a way that builds confidence. The environment feels supportive and positive, and my kids actually look forward to their sessions. What has impressed me most is that I can already see their progress. Their confidence with schoolwork is growing, and they are developing stronger learning habits for sure. I'm very grateful to the Sylvan team for creating such a supportive space for kids to learn and grow.
