We enrolled our son during the summer time for enrichment in preparation for the new school year. He enjoyed the time he spent there. The staff kept it fun and he showed progression with his language arts, which was reflected on his grade on his first progress report. We definitely recommend Sylvan for educational prep.
Price assessment: Reasonable price

Derrick, we're so pleased to hear your son enjoyed his time with us and made strides in language arts. Thank you for recommending Sylvan Learning Center for educational prep!
They're so good working with the kids. My grandson was way behind in his reading and math. They brought him up from barely a second grade level to a 6th grade level.

Gabrielle, we're so pleased to hear your son is enjoying his time with us and making progress. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we can't wait to see his continued success!
My special needs grandson has showed so much improvement due to the help he receives at Sylvan. He doesn't receive much academic assistance in his large ALE class. We are thankful for what he has accomplished at Sylvan.

This branch is very welcoming to our child and to us. We are new to Sylvan, but so far is a very good experience.

We truly appreciate your kind words! It brings us joy to know that our services and team have positively influenced your children's experience. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your family's journey, and we look forward to continuing to support you.
I really like this place. My daughter was having trouble with reading and math at school. My husband and I decided to give this place a try. We're glad we did. We do see the improvement that she has made. She is much more confident and eager to do her school and homework. The staff is very polite and helpful. Rebecca and Ray are great with communication regarding our children's (brother also receives services at Sylvan) progress, also with any questions/concerns we may have. Thank you so much!
