We had such a wonderful experience with Sylvan this summer! My son John attended for extra help with math, reading comprehension, and reading fluency, and I’m so glad we decided to enroll him.
The best part was how much John genuinely loved going. He always felt comfortable, encouraged, and supported, and never looked at Sylvan as something he “had” to do. As a parent, that means so much, especially when you’re asking your child to spend part of their summer working on academics!
We could see his confidence growing along with his skills, and I really appreciated the individualized attention and encouragement he received. The staff made learning positive and enjoyable for him, and that made all the difference.
We are very thankful for the time John spent at Sylvan this summer and would absolutely recommend them to other families looking for extra academic support. ❤️
Price assessment: Reasonable price

Sylvan has been nothing short of amazing for my daughter. The teachers and administrators genuinely care about her and her success. She has grown leaps and bounds, surpassing both our and her own expectations. She is now a confident reader and above grade level at that! We couldn’t be happier! Thank you, Sylvan!

This place is very helpful and has great and personable tutors. I took the SAT prep course and it helped me go from a 1240 to a 1550. Would highly recommend.
