My kids (who are twins) and I are visiting for the summer and they were able to schedule both of their assessments the day after I called and schedule both of their first sessions later that afternoon. Not only that, but after their first session, both of my kids were asking to come back and add more sessions. They’re finally excited about improving their academics and I couldn’t be happier.

Sylvan Learning has been a great experience so far. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and truly cares about helping students succeed. I’ve seen good progress and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for extra academic support.
Price assessment: Reasonable price

Susie, we're so pleased to hear that you're happy with our services and that your student is progressing well. Thank you for recommending us, and we look forward to continuing to help your child succeed.
We couldn't be happier with our daughter's results at Sylvan.
Shoshanna and her team have done an excellent job of bolstering our daughter's education. She went from barely knowing where to start with writing assignments to writing well-executed assignments in just a few months. The monthly progress meetings, reports, and stats are very helpful in seeing the progress she is making in the Sylvan classroom itself. Possibly the best part, our daughter enjoys learning at Sylvan!
Her quote says it all: "I wish school were fun like Sylvan is."
Both of my boys started attending Sylvan to help with reading skills they were unable to master via virtual learning during Covid. I have seen them both make amazing progress and, more importantly, they see the benefits of the work they've put in and are more confident students.
My son has been attending Sylvan Learning of Bel Air for the past 8 months. He has grown by two whole grade levels in math and has found a true love of writing. The teachers at Sylvan Learning of Bel Air prioritize making connections with the kids and really getting to know them. The staff are also very accommodating with my schedule and are happy to help in any way they can. In my personal experience, it is a challenge to find qualified tutors who have the patience to work with a special needs child, and they have all been wonderful to work with at Sylvan Learning of Bel Air. I highly recommend them!
My 16yo daughter has been attending Sylvan for ACT/SAT prep. She absolutely loves the teachers and the director. Her overall test taking skills and confidence have improved greatly! She attends weekly and it has now become part of her regular schedule. I know she will be sad when her time with Sylvan is over. The overall academic strength she has achieved is absolutely priceless. I send a huge thank you to all the staff at the Bel Air Sylvan!
Shoshauna is a really good tutor, and she is kind, they have good hospitality, and jacob, and mason are also very good, i really like ms erica at the front desk, she is very kind
The team at sylvan has been extremely helpful and patient! Shoshanna is excellent at her job with pricing and options to make it as painless as possible. Thank you for working with us to get out son started.
My son has been going here since 4th grade, he's now in 7th. He started with math tutoring and is now keeping a consistent grade in class. He now does writing tutoring and is making great progress. The instructors let him bring his school laptop and they help him with work he's actually doing in class. They keep him interested and engage, which is important because he has ADHD and requires some grace. Sylvan is a great asset to have for any student that might be struggling. The staff is really awesome as well!!!
