We got this service for our 15 1/2 year old grandson. He logs on 5 mornings a week for one hour. I am usually in a nearby room and can hear some of the conversation between my grandson and the instructor who are always friendly, interested and upbeat. I like the way they get him to think outside the box and be thoughtful before answering. He is learning to get more out of what he reads and be a better writer. He was struggling with his English/Lit and hopefully by the Fall he will be ready to be a more critical thinker. I do intend to continue Sylvan for him a few afternoons a week directly after school and from what I understand, Sylvan will connect with his teachers if need be!

Professional Tutors, reasonable prices, always helpful and flexible with scheduling and occasional scheduling challenges! My kids get good grades now and have help when they need it!

We've had a good start to our tutoring with Sylvan. Appreciate the daily reminders of sessions and follow-up for the one we missed. Looking forward to getting her school schedule and the first meeting to see how she is progressing! [FIRST NAME REMOVED]

We appreciate the flexibility of the programming and communication of the staff about our son’s progress!

I can’t say enough good things about Erin! She has been such a great advocate for Aiden. The sessions with the instructors have been very valuable in helping Aiden to succeed.

Throughout the two years we have worked with Sylvan, the staff has been flexible to the changing needs of our son. Their model of 1:1 teaching ensures quick progress and each instructor has been quick to praise or gentle in correction. We couldn’t be more pleased!

We were nervous about what kind of experience we would have with a National group rather than local word of mouth kind of referrals. Boy are we glad we gave Sylvan a try. Everyone has been amazing and more engaged with our daughter than we could have hoped for. Our daughter’s progress has also far exceeded our expectations. Krista and her team are wonderful. Our daughter actually enjoys her sessions, even after a full day of school, and comes out sharing more excitement than she does about her ‘regular’ school day. She is also routinely excited and so proud of herself when mastering new skills. Amazing experience all around.

Erin was very knowledgeable, thorough and patient. She was sure to answer any question I had and left no stone unturned! What a great start to our journey, and I look forward for what’s to come! Thank you.

Accommodating, friendly, and most of all effective in encouraging the learning process for my child. She enjoys her sessions and is beginning to feel more confident both approaching and resolving math problems.

Sylvan was a great help getting my son to pass a competency written paper and keep assignments on track for the rest of the year after a dismal experience with remote learning.
