  • In a short period of time, my daughter has made leaps and bounds. She enjoys working with the tutors and has developed self-confidence in her writing.

  • My son has not given grief about having to go and has walked out every day with a smile. I can already see the confidence peaking through and look forward to him starting the school year on a better foot than ever before!!

  • Hands down the best use of resources we have used thus far for SSAT prep. Sylvan of Portsmouth targeted our child's learning profile and tailored a study approach that enabled her to improve 50-60 percentile points on both her reading and math portions. This allowed her admission into a highly selective independent high school. Without Sylvan's support, our child would not have had a chance of reaching this personal goal. The directors, both Sarah and Caryn, along with the trained staff, were readily available to talk as needed and made our child grow with confidence every step of the way. We owe them a very big thank you.

  • Portsmouth Sylvan is changing our lives! My 2 children are excelling so quickly with the help of knowledgeable and super friendly teachers! While the pandemic stopped normal learning for a lot of kids, my kids kept on going to Sylvan every week! Not only are they getting caught up academically like our original plan in 19/20, but now they are excelling. I am hearing from them how they are ahead of the same peer group from last year that didn’t have the benefit of Sylvan.

  • We were nervous about what kind of experience we would have with a national group rather than local word of mouth kind of referrals. Boy, are we glad we gave Sylvan a try. Everyone has been amazing and more engaged with our daughter than we could have hoped for. Our daughter’s progress has also far exceeded our expectations. Krista and her team are wonderful. Our daughter actually enjoys her sessions, even after a full day of school, and comes out sharing more excitement than she does about her ‘regular’ school day. She is also routinely excited and so proud of herself when mastering new skills. Amazing experience all around.
