  • Sometimes kids get stuck or bored and then frustrated with a program because they have not been able to master it. I like that Sylvan representatives listen and Understand that sometimes flexibility and changes to the child’s program is exactly what is needed for them to succeed.

  • I loved having my Son in Sylvan.I feel that Sylvan provided extra support he has needed and will continue to need. I like that the teachers use positive reinforcement and don’t just push the child through the curriculum but actually take the time to teach the child and make sure the child has a understanding of the material. Sylvan is family friendly and offers a wide range of schedules. I love that they communicated with his teachers at school and worked as a team!
