Here's a polished review that feels genuine while highlighting the impact Sylvan had on your son's…read moreprogress: Our experience with Sylvan Learning of Burbank was wonderful. Their program provided the extra support our son needed alongside the reading intervention he was receiving at school, helping him accelerate to reading at grade level. The learning environment kept him engaged, especially the token reward system. He loved earning tokens and was motivated to save for the top-shelf prizes, which was a great lesson in delayed gratification and working toward a bigger goal. The most rewarding part of the experience was watching his confidence grow. As his reading skills improved, so did his belief in himself. Seeing him reach the point where he no longer needed additional reading support at school was an incredible milestone and something we're so proud of. We're grateful to the Sylvan team for helping him achieve such a tremendous accomplishment.

Terrible experience. Was referred by a good friendI specifically asked to be placed with tutors who…read morefocus on math (my kids are in 6th and 8th grade, it's not rocket science). First tutor they sent didn't know the material, kept saying he will study on it and be better next time. 2nd tutor literally showed up and said we were her first tutoring client and she'd never taught math and instead, English / writing were her strong suit. When I brought these issues up to the Mike, he accused me of having "high expectations". He then promised to find me a replacement tutor and few days go by and don't hear back. I ask for my pre-payment back and he only send me partial. He charged me for the tutor who never taught math too, who showed up and just wasted everyone's time and was so timid she spoke maybe 5 words during the entire 2 hours. Not a way to run a business, and as a VERY active parent in the school district, I will definitely be swaying parents AWAY from this company.

Eric and the team at Matter are phenomenal partners in education! Both of our children have…read morebenefited from Eric's tutoring practice. Matter helped our younger one with ISEE prep and math for middle school and helped our older one with AP exam prep and math for high school. What we value most about Eric is that he takes a very personalized approach to tutoring. He recognizes that each student has different needs and learning styles, so he works very hard to make sure the tutor is the right fit. If the fit isn't right the first time, he's quick to make adjustments. He checks in frequently throughout the school year and always makes himself available to provide advice to parents. His experience is second to none. All the tutors at Matter that we've worked with are excellent. They're good people and they genuinely care about learning. They make sure students truly understand the fundamental building blocks of a subject and provide thoughtful test-taking advice. Importantly, Eric and the tutors encourage healthy learning and make their sessions tailored, engaging, and collaborative (not stressful). We are so grateful to Eric and the tutors at Matter!

After trying a few different tutoring options, we were looking for something more thoughtful and…read moretailored to our son's specific academic goals. He needed support in both math and writing, along with some longer-term guidance around test prep, and the white glove service we have received from Matter has been exactly what we were hoping for. Eric took the time upfront to really understand where our son was academically, where he was struggling, and what we wanted to accomplish over the next several months. He paired our son with a tutor who has been an excellent fit, not just in terms of subject expertise, but also in how she connects with our son and keeps him engaged. We have already seen measurable progress in both his confidence and performance in school. He is more organized in how he approaches assignments, more thoughtful in his writing, and less anxious around testing. Our overall experience with Matter has been very professional and well managed. Communication is clear, scheduling is easy, and there is a level of consistency and integrity that we did not get with other tutoring companies we have tried.

We began searching for a tutor that would be the "right fit" for our daughter, Vyla, some time ago…read more During the 2020-2021 year (4th grade), our daughter was lucky enough to be in-school learning, as COVID prevented many from not being in-school. However, Vyla had been struggling since the beginning of her 3rd grade year, when COVID first hit. Her studies took a nosedive and we had been playing catch-up since. Although being in school was incredibly valuable, she continued to fall behind. As Vyla entered the 5th grade, we were determined to get her caught up as quickly as possible. We considered a few other services, which all looked great, but there was something very warm and positive about Marsha when we discussed Vyla and our determination to get her back to grade level. Marsha reviewed Vyla's background, listened to all of our concerns, reviewed an academic evaluation we had Vyla complete, and discussed an education plan moving forward .When Vyla began the 5th grade, we then reevaluated what Vyla should be doing, based on what was going on in her class. Marsha focused on Vyla's gaps, and with each session, Vyla became more confident, and more focused! When we started, Vyla was hesitate, as Marsha was "new" and she was not sure if she would work well due to having to complete her schoolwork; she was worried about being over-worked. But with each new session, Marsha showed Vyla that studies could be fun! Marsha challenged her with quiz's, facts, flash cards, and Vyla could feel the improvement in her studies. As the school year has progressed, Marsha was quick to utilize the areas Vyla was working on in school, as well as testing her on her spelling, math, and reading. Marsha is kind, patient, and very accommodating. She is willing to work with your schedule, and is flexible provided you keep in communication with her. She wants to work with children, and you can tell she cares - she cares about their wellbeing, education and self-esteem, which is very refreshing. We are very happy we found Marsha, and intend to keep working with her for the rest of the school year, and hopefully next year as well! We completely recommend and appreciate Marsha, who is truly a friendly, experienced and professional tutor. Thank you!
