Review of Sylvan Learning - Reading Help

Take a look at what our customers are saying about us...

“
Outstanding professionalism is obviously the by-word of the Sylvan Learning Centre and my child's teacher. I will definitely be recommending the school to my friends, and I will be looking at further assistance, if needed, for my child again in the future. My child's teacher, Nancy, is amazing. She is able to handle my autistic child with ease and reassure her when she is worried about learning. Nancy makes teaching look like a walk in the park! Thanks so much, Nancy!

“
My niece had great time in Sylvan in this summer. Her mother tongue is not English and she has been taking her English classes in my country since when she was grade 1. However, it was hard for her to improve her language skills in my country due to the environment factor that most people don’t use English often and due to instructors who might be using Chinese to teach English. However, after she took the lessons from Sylvan not only her English skill has been improved rapidly but also her confidence of using English has been increased. Teachers were able to understand what exact she needs in order to help her and they were able to know how to help her. I am glad that she had the chance to study in Sylvan and I would strongly recommend Sylvan to anyone who needs help for their schooling.

“
I like the fact that the assessment completed really shows where the learning deficiencies are. Also, the fact that skills must be mastered before moving on to the next level. It is also good that the children do not feel bad or "dumb" about their deficiencies.
”
S.C.
“
It is a systematic way of teaching. The student cannot move forward until they have mastered the concept.
”
E. C.
“
The way you teach kids is excellent.

When my son started struggling with the Math 30 (AP) program, I looked at another tutoring centre and was immediately turned off when they said that they would have to take him back a full year and tutor him in every subject (he had done fine in Math 20 and was in the 80's + for all other subjects). With Sylvan he went in and they concentrated on the math and only math. His sessions were generally done just with him or occasionally with 1 other child, giving him undivided attention. As a result of the work that he has done with Sylvan he has been granted an interview with Cambridge University in England.

“
That it works! My son was pretty much unable to read before he started at Sylvan. We are very happy with Sylvan and progress that my son has made. I would recommend it to everyone and anyone! Also the teachers are great! Thank you to them : )

The flexibility, the help that you have given my son! The professionalism.
”
D.L.
“
The personal touch; when my grand daughter requested Blaine, she was accommodated; when she had very specific issues in physics and math, they were addressed.
”
C.M.
“
I like that they are able to focus on individual subjects. One learning service that I looked into said that they would have to work on all subjects. My son who is in high school was only having difficulty with math. To have worked on all subjects would have been a waste of time. As a result of his work with Sylvan, my son was interviewed by Cambridge University and has been accepted into three other universities.

“
Flexible schedule, program tailored to my child.
”
D.D.
“
The individual attention paid to specific subjects. Some tutoring services require that the child be tutored in all subjects even though very few children have difficulty with every subject. One tutoring service I contacted wanted to take my son back an entire grade to start with. If your child is in high school, that's just not feasible.
”
J.K.
“
The individual attention that was so needed for my granddaughter to learn. She was not lost in a class of students but due to the ratio of 3 to 1, anything she was not able to grasp was quickly noticed. She did not "fall through the cracks" at Sylvan like she did in the regular class setting.

The fact that my son smiles now in regards to his math. He's actually requested to stay for longer hours when in the beginning he'd be so emotionally upset at the mere mention of math. That's huge for our family. THANK YOU Sylvan!

My boy is really enjoying his tutoring which is amazing since he didn't like school or tutoring before he came to Sylvan. I think it's because of the iPad and token system you utilize. He volunteered his time for an extra hour per week on his own.
