"Sylvan was huge help to my son through his elementary years and now my daughter attends. They love going and receive individual support to help them grow their reading skills."

"Sylvan customizes their teaching to fit your child's needs. Sylvan helped my son improve greatly on his English skills after he moved here from Thailand. A well trained staff that makes learning fun!"

"Sylvan saved us! The staff are extremely experienced and knowledgeable and could offer guidance in a way our school could not. And even better, each week my child looked forward to going! I feel so fortunate to have this resource available."

"We first came to Sylvan after hearing first hand from a few families how they felt about the program. They shared that it helped their children and teens get out of some tough challenges with school and ultimately excelled in the areas they sought help for. Their experiences are now reflected in our family! We have been with Sylvan for almost 5 years now as my son started in 3rd grade and now my daughter started in 5th grade! My son who is now 14 years old has reaped the benefits of academic support AND self esteem with Sylvan. He is a student that seeks learning and has confidence to pursue many interests! I believe Sylvan has been a highly significant part of my son's love for learning and confidence to strive for many goals he sets out to accomplish. My daughter is now following suit and we are seeing the same benefits in her progress! I can't say enough wonderful things about Jim (the owner) and teachers. It is such a well organized environment and the Sylvan system tailors to the individual from where they are and seems to build from there. A great formula for success. We are forever grateful!"

"My daughter was struggling a bit with reading. I waited, I thought she just needed more books. So I bought more books, she read, I read to her. But still, she was behind her peers. So I called Sylvan and they were able to pinpoint the areas where my daughter needed help. So we signed up, thinking it would last for a few weeks, maybe a few months. That is probably what most kids do, attend for a period of time and then that’s it. I found that my daughter benefitted greatly in the beginning, but then - she kept on benefitting and she was starting to love her time working with her Sylvan tutor. Sometimes she learns things with her Sylvan tutor before she learns them in class! I have watched my struggling 1st grader turn into a top 3rd grade student. She was a student who would never raise her hand, not because she was shy, but because she had no idea what the answer was. Now, she raises her hand proudly with the answer in her head. And it’s so much more than that, her confidence in the classroom carries with her all day. I give Sylvan so much credit for that. They do an amazing job on zoom or in the center. The tutors are amazing! There is no better gift than the gift of education!!"
