The plan of study is tailored to each student's needs. They have flexible hours, great tutoring staff, and a friendly disposition.
Lesson are a little expensive
I like that I was able to get the help needed at the last minute
It's made a big improvement on our son's studies. Mahalo for helping us help him to achieve where he needs to be.
Great help but prices are high
The people at Sylvan take the time to listen. They tailor the lessons to the needs of the student, there is a good balance between assessment and lesson development. The instructors are very professional and also friendly and kind. My children like going there, and after a lesson there is always progress.
Sylvan Kahala has been such a positive experience for my daughter. Not only is the owner, Pam, so incredibly passionate about helping children excel academically, she is also so sweet and accommodating! Her enthusiasm is matched by the teachers as well. After each lesson, Adriana's teacher reviews what they worked on that day, what Adriana strengths and weaknesses were, and a short homework assignment. This is so great because there are tutoring centers out there that assign a great deal of homework for children, which can make learning and tutoring seem more like a chore. My daughter looks forward to her lessons and loves her teachers and Ms. Pam very much! Mahalo to the Sylvan team for their investment in my child's future!
I love that your SAT prep program is customized to fit each students needs. You focus on where each student needs that extra help in certain subjects. Your program is very flexible to fit into my sons busy schedule.
enjoyed the summer program
wish there were more sessions of the lego program
The sylvan teachers are very dedicated and terrific at motivating young learners including my daughter. Everyone at sylvan is super friendly and professional. The location is convenient and so are the hours of operation.
We appreciate the following:
* flexible hours
* the outstanding team
* that you take payment with credit card
* the material seems challenging for our kids
* the cost is reasonable for the Math Edge program
I left a message and never heard back from the office. Couldn't make a class time and never heard back.
The staff are very personable, knowledgeable, and friendly. My kids always looked forward to going to tutoring. Learning at Sylvan was fun, engaging, and challenging.
My son thoroughly enjoyed his STEM summer experience!
I liked that I was able to customize Madison's tutoring to her needs, and that you had such a capable staff that was able to help her with Physics and Calculus. When Madi first started at Sylvan Kahala, it was because she was having test anxiety, and she needed coaching on how to study for tests so she would feel more confident. She continued going to Sylvan Kahala this past school year on a "as needed" basis for her Physics and Calculus classes. It was very reassuring knowing that there was someone she could see on the weekend who could help her with her higher level classes.
1:1 student teacher ratio. Personalized tutoring program. Flexible schedule.
promptness, friendliness, review of work accomplished, ample parking
My daughter Malaika loves to go to Sylvan to get help. The few people she has had she is able to do her school work and understand her school work.
I like that I can change the time of the session on Saturday. I like that tutors help with school work: without notice, I gave a tutor a worksheet from school about the play EVITA and he helped my son Hez understand the play in that one session. I like the cordial friendly spirit of ALOHA and informal check-ins that the directors do with clients. I like the online parent account where I can see which READING SKILLS my son mastered each week. I like that if I cannot pay by the monthly deadline, I can request a reasonable extension.
It's still too early to tell my child's progress to give a score.
I think the center is very responsive to comments and the service is great. My daughter likes working with her tutors and they make learning enjoyable.
From the time we stepped into Sylvan Kahala, Pamela Lee and her able staff have made our family feel comfortable that competent educators were working with our daughter to achieve the academic success she needs to successfully complete her sophomore year of high school. Our daughter missed 3 months of school due to sport-related injuries. Sylvan Kahala is helping her get back on the road to academic achievement and success!
Friendly, efficient staff. Tobi enjoyed his short stay with you. He felt that
the tutoring helped him in his HBA 2.5 hr. test.
Excellent programs with an excellent owner and staff. Also very clean.
I like the convenient hours of Monday- sunday. Also the convenience of paying by credit card.
This is the second class we have taken and the only e mail I got with what he did in class was on November 9,2016. My son keeps asking me if I got it because he is so proud of what he made but all I can say is I didn't receive it yet. Even on the last day one his second robotics my son had me mention it and I still haven't gotten anything. It's quite sad.
The scheduling aspect of Sylvan has been a disappointment recently. There have been multiple mistakes in the scheduling of my child's sessions. I will have to seriously consider whether to continue with Sylvan.
My daughter benefited from their tutoring and homework help,
Easy to schedule tutoring dates and times.
My child was hesitant at first but after attending her first session, she is excited to go.
The staff is friendly and helpful.
