Tutors are great and the program seems to be working!
I just feel that it’s very expensive and a lot of people can’t afford this program
I have already recommended your services to others. I am noticing my son talking more about his experiences. He has always been relatively reserved and has not spoken a lot in conversation. I can only say that this is because of Sylvan.
We like the consistency in student delivery and the progress feedback each period! We can see how our daughter is progressing by her confidence and willingness to engage in her learning tasks! She is not as easily frustrated as before! We’re looking forward to seeing how much more growth in the next semester!
It has a comfortable and friendly atmosphere with no pressure. And the establishment is well taken care of on top of the great education the students receive
We have always recommended Sylvans to our student friends families.
We love sylvan and all its teachers
The employees are very friendly and helpful with everything! We have had such a great experience!
The teacher doesn’t know how to teach Algebra 2. He looked up his IPhone the whole session to figure out how to teach the problem. I got ripped off my $50. My son said after 10 minutes later, he wanted to walk away from the teacher.
I am so pleased with Mr Dave. He is so knowledgeable and deals well with my grand daughter. Thank you for helping us so very much.
My son was in a group with a young child who constantly distracted my son and other students. What a waste of learning time for my son and a waste of money.
Hi Shelley, Thank you for your feedback and making us aware of the situation. We have worked on techniques with our teachers to deal with these types of situations. We have also remedied the specific situation that you are referencing so that it is not going to happen again. I know the last time we spoke you felt that your son was doing well and we hope that he still is! If you decide to return, please reach out to me personally. Sincerely, Tobin Yoder
Wesley had a D in precalculus the first grading period. He ended with a B in the second nine weeks because of Sylvan. Wesley had twice weekly homework help, but I think the biggest difference has been that on the third weekly visit he worked on the skills gap that he had from the previous Algebra II class due to ongoing depression. I know that the focused help will help Wesley when he takes the ACT later this spring, but most of all his confidence.
I like the professionalism and flexibility of the staff. They go for meeting the needs of the children, instead of pushing a specific curriculum/ program. Cathy is a great administrator. The kids enjoy a safe and supportive environment.
A friend used you for his son and he recommended to us as well
The teacher are patient with the children and i like that
My girl is smiling and feeling smarter in math. She is successful each day. We're so thankful she is happier and gaining knowledge.
Flexible for homework assist
My experience with sylvan is great because I've seen improvement in reading with boys in there reading scores at school. I don't want my name or children made public, thank you.
I can't believe how much progress my son has made in just a month!
The staff are so friendly and committed to the success of our boy. He has really struggled in school with math and reading comprehension and was beginning to just give up. The personal and caring attention from his instructors has him enthused about learning again. Some days he can't wait to go! I have already recommended Sylvan to others.
Cathy has been so helpful and informative in guiding us through getting our son the help he needs. After a couple months of tutoring at Sylvan our son is already making noticeable progress.
Your sincere level of concern is worth a million!! . . Excited by Elese's progress so far, tks
I have not been able to gauge how effective this program is for my son. He’s been in the program for 7 months, and the progress reports that I receive are not exactly reader friendly. While it may show levels of achievement and mastery, what I am interested in, is knowing that Sylvan has identified his most challenging areas and able to show specific objective achievements besides just levels and general goals. I believe the program assists him in reading, but I don’t believe it is being aggressive enough to really help advance him in his reading and his confidence to read. I will give it some more time, but for these past 7 months, the progress has seemed minimal.
Making sure that what the students are learning at sylvan is what is currently being learned in the classroom
I am very happy with The Teachers and administrators at Sylvan. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all.
My daughter has shown improvement in her grades this past trimester. Watching her grow little at a time.
Grouping children is fine for some activities but when a child have a focus area that when the child should be working with staff a on that skill to help them reach three goal. Someone should be seeing that children out after there section.
Genuine concern for each student. Easy payment plan.
One on one instruction is perfect for my daughter. They are kind and do a great job. My daughter went from a reading level of 2nd grade to a reading level of 5th grade. She’s a 4th grader. It took about 6 months in total.
I know scheduling can be hard at times, but sticking to schedules and having better availability would be helpful.
