My daughter has enjoyed her short time at Sylvan. Over the summer my daughter needed to boast to get her ready for her next grade. She is feeling confident and ready for school in the fall. The staff have been professional and caring. My daughter has enjoyed her sessions. She is motivated by the token system which is keeping her engaged. Thank you to all the staff at Sylvan.

Allison Davidson Motoyama

My daughter really blossomed and has gained confidence from her weekly sessions. She really enjoys receiving tokens and the positive reinforcement from her teachers. The small groups are great for developing friendships and personal relationships with teachers.

Tara Erickson

My kids love going here. They look forward to it every week. I love that they have the virtual option as it is an hour drive 1 way for us.

Sylvan Learning of Johnson has a top-notch team of teachers and directors. We wouldn't be where we are today without them helping us meet our goals. All four of my children have succeeded because of the support at Sylvan. Everything from remedial reading to enrichment in writing math college prep and homework help. Thank you Sylvan of Johnston for all you've done for my family!.

Vivi is truly enjoying herself, and we've noticed her spelling skills improving every week. The instructors do a fantastic job of keeping her engaged, motivated, and excited to learn.
