Russell understands the children’s academic struggles and tackle them by slowly building up their confidence through Sylvan’s effective and measurable teaching system/mechanism. It worked great for our son who has gained his confidence in many aspects, inside and outside classrooms. Russell’s warm, relaxing and supportive demeanour has made our journey with Sylvain a great experience. We will strongly recommend Sylvan in Comox Valley to any family in need of academic support.

This program helped my daughter immensely! The transition from grade 7 to grade 8 math was a huge challenge for her. After going through the assessment at Sylvan it was discovered she had learning gaps from several years prior. She went to Sylvan for grade 8 and 9 and her math grades went from developing to proficient. She has a strong math foundations now that are making grade 10 math clear and easy to understand. Can’t recommend this program enough! The team at Sylvan Comox are incredible.
