    My son has been attending tutoring at Sylvan for 7 months. He enjoys going there and it gives him ownership over his academic work. Sylvan helps him engage more with subject matter and school work. His grades have improved significantly but more importantly he is independently working and feels confident in himself.

    I enrolled my son at Sylvan because he was behind in reading and writing. The staff is very friendly. I have a meeting every few weeks to discuss his progress. My son enjoys going and learning. Students are rewarded for their effort, but most importantly their success.

    Our daughter was struggling with writing in elementary school. Now she writes essays without stress. In middle school, she was falling behind in math. Now she is at/beyond grade level. All thanks to Sylvan. My daughter continues to enjoy learning and goes to tutoring every week.

    They have gone beyond the call of duty for my son. They create an atmosphere where he wants to learn and grow. My son is trying to catch up with his reading and only in a few weeks can I notice the changes in his learning habits.

    The tutoring is very good - it helped my younger son get As and high test scores in reading and math, and now my older son really enjoys his ACT training. We have had consistently good outcomes with Sylvan.
