Sylvan Learning of Portage 1350 West Centre Avenue, Portage, MI 49024

"Our son has been going to Sylvan learning Center for six months now, when he started, he was really struggling and very behind! Over the last six months, we’ve seen huge growth in his confidence in reading, and he’s making improvements daily! I can’t wait to see all the progress once he’s completed the program"

"My daughter has been attending Sylvan for over a year. After a few months I didn’t notice any progression and asked if I could receive the remainder of the money that I paid in advance for her tutoring sessions, which was around $10,000. After speaking with Xandra I was informed that I was unable to receive a refund after 30 days, which I was unaware of, and how would anyone know if tutoring is working in that short amount of time. So needless to say my daughter continues to go to tutoring sessions just so I don’t forfeit my money. I would suggest anyone interested in Sylvan pay month to month and not pay ahead time like I did because you won’t be refunded if you’re unhappy with their service or your child’s progress or lack there of. Update: Received a call in regards to this review and was told thanks for the feedback. Nothing else was done."

"We have had a really great experience at Sylvan Learning of Portage. Our son has been attending sessions all summer to improve his writing. He’s doing so well compared to when he started and we are excited to have him start school this fall. Even his attitude has improved toward writing!"

"My son has been working On his handwriting with Sylvan all summer and I’m finally able to decipher what he writes. He is progressing well towards where he should be as a 4th grader. Scheduling is easy and he works at his own pace toward his goal."

"Sylvan has been such a great experience for our young student. The student/teacher ratio is perfect so there is plenty of direct care & attention throughout each session. The academic plan is paired with positive reinforcement so I witness excitement looking forward to the next visit. Gone are the days of a stigma associated with seeking out tutoring. We see Sylvan as a way to push off the summer slide in retaining what was learned the school year before and to advance our student preparing for the year to come. We look forward to utilizing the great programs Sylvan has to offer throughout our child's academic career."
