We’re so grateful for your perfect 10/10 rating! Knowing that your experience with Sylvan has been so positive truly inspires our team. If you’d like to take a quick moment to leave us a Google review, it would mean so much. Your words not only guide other families toward Sylvan but also motivate us to keep striving for excellence every day. https://g.page/r/CbMQCADNG4dREAI/review Thank you for trusting us and for being a valued part of the Sylvan community!

Despite constant requests of Aliyah having 1 on 1 learning it gets denied. This past week she waited repentantly for help, and kept asking. It is VERY expensive to have ALOT of the time waiting on other kids. The teacher ignored her request. I will not be recommending this to anyone. Jessica Burch

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that Aliyah felt unheard during her recent session, and I appreciate the opportunity to address your concerns. At Sylvan, our instructional model is designed with a proven 3:1 student-to-teacher ratio. This means that each student receives a balance of direct instruction, guided practice, and independent work during the session. The intention behind this model is not only to provide personalized attention but also to foster confidence, accountability, and long-term learning independence — essential skills for academic success beyond Sylvan. That said, no child should ever feel ignored or unsupported. I will personally follow up with our instructional team to ensure that Aliyah’s needs are being better met during her sessions and that she feels seen, heard, and encouraged. Your investment in her learning is deeply valued, and we want to ensure that both you and Aliyah are experiencing the value of Sylvan. I would be happy to connect with you further to revisit her learning plan, understand more about her experience, and explore adjustments if needed. Thank you again for your honesty — it helps us grow and serve our families better.

I am not impressed the teachers did not know she had been enrolled in Sylvan. At parent teacher last week her teachers informed me they were never told. I think it is counter productive for her to not learn what she is in class, she she can feel caught up. I stressed the urge for her teachers to know on date signed contract.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We truly value open communication and understand how important it is for a student’s school and Sylvan team to work together. We’re sorry to hear that you felt there was a gap in communication and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. We generally reach out to the school teachers after the first progress assessment or at least working with the students for over a month. That helps us to have informative and constructive talking points. We’ll follow up to ensure her teachers are kept in the loop moving forward and are always happy to collaborate to support her success.

Sylvan Learning has been excellent for my daughter. She is a junior high student and has needed some extra help. Sylvan has matched her with a great tutor and we have seen her confidence and grades rise. Thank you so much Sylvan

The tutors that have been matched with my daughter are excellent. They have a good online learning platform that has helped keep her going during COVID. We won’t be leaving anytime soon. Really enjoy Sylvan

My daughter has been with Sylvan for several years. Her grades and confidence level has improved greatly. We have had two different tutors and both were match to her perfectly. We never miss a class and she enjoys the time immensely. thank you
