Honestly, having to pay for additional tutoring outside of school made me angry because you think school would be enough. However, Sylvan really helped my daughter more than I can imagine. Sylvan will help your child with school work, but they also make it a point to mention that they need to cover topics from previous grades in order to help make my child a stronger student. ... and it made a difference. Her attitude has changed, she gets better grades, and at times she's even ahead of the class!

"I must admit I was skeptical at first. We tried private tutors and another tutoring company but nothing changed for our daughter and son. We thought Sylvan was more expensive but they have made more progress in half the time as our private tutor. We ended up spending less money at Sylvan in the long run. We will certainly be recommending Sylvan to our friends.

Thank you for helping me prepare for the SAT. A lot of my friends went to Sylvan in Canada and now I know why. Sylvan is really good

Sylvan Learning really helped my daughter become a confident and capable reader. Prior to Sylvan, she attended a different tutor where all the work was on computers. She enjoyed the computer activities but it did not help her perform better in school. Sylvan taught her the basics. My daughter is no longer afraid to pick up a book or write out her answers. Thanks Sylvan. You made all the difference

Sylvan has helped me far beyond any expectations! The Advanced Reading Course improved my reading score over 400%! I can read a newspaper in no time now! I recommend Sylvan to anyone.

The thing I like most about Sylvan is the teachers and the great way they teach. They were easy to understand and very patient. I like the study strategies and how they use games to teach us sometimes

I am very pleased with Sylvan. My experience has been that Sylvan has been very accommodating to any request I have had in terms of timing and dates. Overall and based on a number of months of work, I feel that Omar has progressed well at school. There is a marked improvement in his reading which has been noticed by his teachers. Omar has worked with different teachers at Sylvan, but special thanks goes to Ms. Denise who always thinks outside of the box to ensure she gets the best out of Omar in each of the sessions; he truly looks forward to her class. I would not hesitate in recommending Sylvan!

Thanks so much for all the help you provided my children in English. I never imagined they could learn so much in so little time. When they started with Sylvan less than 3 months ago, they could not read at all. Now Cathrine, age 9 and Erik, age 7 are reading and writing with confidence and ease. Special thanks to your Sylvan teachers. Their positive attitudes, patience and ability to motivate the children really helped them believe in themselves. Cathrine and Erik will truly miss the lessons at Sylvan and your nice staff
