Reliable, friendly and knowledgeable staff makes our Sylvan experience worthwhile! The best investment I've made for my child.

My son is able to learn high school math at his own pace instead of struggling to keep up with his class. There has been a tremendous improvement in both his grades and stress levels since he started at Sylvan.

Our son seems to be making really good progress especially in ELA since he started at Sylvan.

The fact that the director called My son a disaster. They are not equipped to Deal with kids that have ADD/ADHD. Also a lack of patience. Although the tutor my son had she was amazing.

They have been very accommodating with changing my child's schedule due to a medical issue. The Teachers and staff are kind and caring. Would highly recommend.

Excellent! My daughter actually likes going there. She’s progressing in her math skills and the director is amazing! She literally has made us feel so welcome. She honestly deserves accolades and a raise. We are very happy with the entire experience.

It would be nice to have a tool online or an app to monitor the progress of the student. Sometimes the Sylvan process feels a bit opaque to parents.

Discuss needs of child ahead or after sessions as well as any areas that parent can work on would be helpful.

My son went in for math tutoring. Was working on math corrections to resubmit homework. Tutor did not check his work and he resubmit the homework still with incorrect answers. An hour of tutoring completely wasted. I’m unsure what if anything happened during that session.

It would be great if the website showed parents hours used and in general gave more detail. A better explanation of what the study skills program is and how it will help my child grow in confidence would be fabulous. My son was caught up in math and after being reassessed it was suggested he switch to study skills. I would like more clarification on this program. When I was sold the package, I was told twice my son was very bright and if he was caught up sooner than the 70 hours I purchased I could get save the sessions for future or get my money back. He was caught up after approximately 30 sessions and when I inquired about getting my money back for the remaining 40 I was told told there are no refunds. I no longer see the value of sending my child there. If I could get someone to explain the value, and how study skills will help him when he reassessed at a 1285 in literacy and 5.6 in math when he should’ve been at 5.7, it would be much appreciated. I can barely afford to pay for this to begin with, and if it is something that will not be beneficial I would like to request my money back for his remaining sessions. At this point if feel I was talked into into buying more sessions than he needed when it wasn’t necessary, and now I’m being told I am stuck and I hate feeling this way.

My son has been frustrated lately that he is repeating concepts that he says he knows. I know this is part of the program, but its causing him to fight us on attending because he doesn't feel he's getting anything out of it.

We asked at the last tutoring session to work on graphs and money and while the instructor worked with another student they had my child use the iPad for the full time and did not work on graphs or money. I can have my child sit on an iPad at home.

Please I would appreciate if the schedule is steady and consistent. Let me know when the lesson is ending or starting in summer. Thanks.

We really like Tim as both the director and as a tutor. The other tutors are good too. My daughter likes the place but she doesn’t like taking g the practice tests. I remind her that the tests show the tutors how to best help her. She is chatty and social an benefits from the hands on approach.

We've had a great experience and will most likely come back ourselves if we need more services.

We have had about 3 weeks and so far it’s going as expect, Tim has been very welcoming and I’m looking forward to watching the work progress.
