My nephew just started high school last year. He has been in tutoring for math since August of 2023 and it is having a positive impact on his life. They are building his skills and helping him grow in confidence. We have monthly meetings to discuss his progress and get monthly reports to review. They are willing to coordinate and talk with his school about his needs. It’s a great program and worth the investment. I checked prices and found them to be more reasonable in their fees. Their schedule is very accommodating as well.
Price assessment: Reasonable price

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Sylvan Learning Center. Both of my boys attend, and it’s been so encouraging to see the progress they’ve made in such a short amount of time. Kathy has been incredibly helpful and accommodating with scheduling, which has made a huge difference for our busy family. The staff genuinely cares about the students and their success, and we’re grateful for the support they’ve received. We’re excited to continue with Sylvan throughout the school year and look forward to closing some of their gaps!

Thank you for sharing your positive experience. We're delighted to know that our services have positively impacted your boys’ skill mastery and schoolwork. Your kind words truly inspire us to keep offering quality educational support, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to contribute to their journey.
I signed my 7th grade son up for Sylvan because he was struggling with reading and writing. When he started, he was working on some 4th grade skills. By the end of the school year he has mastered all 7th grade skills and even achieved several 8th and 9th grade skills.
Today he received an A/B Honors award at school, and on his English ATLAS test he scored above the 8th grade average. These results show not only my son’s hard work but also the dedication and support of the Sylvan tutors. They made learning fun, kept him motivated with rewards, and truly helped him grow.
I cannot recommend Sylvan enough and highly recommend bringing your children here for support.

Thank you, Kirsty, for sharing your son's incredible progress with us! We're thrilled to hear about his achievements and the positive impact our tutors had on his learning journey. It's wonderful to know he found motivation and fun in learning. We look forward to supporting more students like him!
Our experience with Sylvan the last month or so has been awesome. I have learned a lot about what my child needs to learn effectively. I love that they connect with their teachers from school to understand where they need help. My child never complains about going. Definitely take them into consideration if your child needs a little help with school.
