What do you like about our services?

Your ability to communicate with students at their level so they can understand their needs and what you're teaching them. Making learning a fun experience is great because it gets the students involved and interested. This is why they learn and are able to grasp what they've learned.

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

Study skills seems to be aimed towards children rather than teens and young adults. Can be a distracting environment.

What do you like about our services?

The instructors really care about my daughter Tiffany and they help make her Robotics class a truly enjoyable and great learning experience for her. They pay close attention to the students and make themselves available if the student has any questions (as Tiffany is building they allow her to discover and work things out on her own but the minute she requests assistance they are there to assist her and just enough until she can get to the point where she can then take over again). She loves coming to Robotics and has brought a friend too.
I am very happy we found Sylvan at the Kahala sidewalk table.
Thank you
Lisa Katsuda

What do you like about our services?

To any parent that has a son or daughter struggling in a subject or two, don't wait to get outside help. My daughter was failing Geometry and Chemistry. Her school offered "study help" but my daughter said she didn't understand the teacher's instruction, she was still lost and kind of gave up.

She felt comfortable at Sylvan and she said it helped her to understand what she originally couldn't understand at school.

She started with little or no understanding of Chemistry and got an F the 1st quarter. With a looming F in the 2nd quarter and only 4 weeks to catch up, she started tutoring at Sylvan Learning Center and she was able to get a C on her Final Exam. I wish we had started Sylvan Learning Center sooner because she ended up NOT passing Chemistry this semester because of all the missing assignments. There was not enough time to complete all the past work and all the current work, and it would have saved her grade if we had started Sylvan sooner.

Sylvan also tutored my daughter in Geometry at the same time, and she was able to get a B- on her Final Exam and passed the semester.

How did we disappoint you and what can we do to make things right?

The Lego robotics experience was okay but for what my child did, it was very overpriced. For less than the price of this 6-week program, my son can have 4 months (1x/week) of most after-school programs at his private school.
