I had such high hopes for my son who has been struggling with reading, writing and anything related…read moreto English. My son scored badly on the assessment due to being unmotivated to answer the test questions properly. I was discouraged and heartbroken but Minera ensured me that there are kids that come to Sylvan with similar issues and struggles. She assured me that they will work with him because they have dealt with kids with ADHD in the past. She also reassured me that there are some kids who displayed similar findings with assessments and they showed improvement. I also ended up enrolling my 2 other younger children here to accompany my other son. We did not want my other son to feel as if there was something wrong with him especially since he was already struggling academically, behaviorally not to mentioned he was discouraged and had low self esteem. I had such high hopes but unfortunately things didn't quite work out as I had hoped. The tutors were all wonderful and professional. They all tried so hard to help my son but unfortunately his behavior and disruption to others students became an issue. My other two kids did great at the end and were doing well but unfortunately my one son that desperately needed the most help, did not. I guess despite the great rating they cannot always help everyone. Each child has a different personality, learning style and ability and unfortunately it was my son that was too far to be reached. I wish that it could have worked out. But unfortunately I sensed a lot of frustration hence the long text messages as well as a brief update from Minera one afternoon. She updated me regarding my son's behavior and inability to move forward in the curriculum due to his refusal to show his work and knowledge of the subject. I sensed her frustration, in which I do not blame her. I would have hoped that they would have been able to be more professional and knowing how to deal with kids with ADHD like they said they did. It was discouraging and upsetting to see the opposite attitude, body language and demeanor this time around. Her voice as well as her facial expressions did not offer any sense of hope or recommendations to help improve or change the situation. I feel Minera gave me a false sense of hope and did not deliver their promise. Thank you to all the tutors though who did try to help my son. I deeply appreciate the time, patience you all put into my 3 kids, as for Minera, I am disappointed in your professionalism. You should not make assurances that you cannot keep.

It's not competitively priced with local tutoring available. There are better options available…read more Once session, on an iPad, was $65/hr for my child to learn in person, at a table, with 2 other students, so 3 students to 1 teacher, + $199 assessment to get started. Pricing is on par with some private school monthly tuitions but you only get 2 hours per week, instead of 35, and your kid learns from an iPad rather than an instructor, who is more like an exam proctor. You don't even get the same proctor every time, for this level of cost I felt I should have been you assigned a personal tutor who worked with him 1vs1 for an hour rather than being on an electronic device for a basic 3rd grade learning level.

Sylvan Learning has been such a helpful support system for my daughter. We first came in because…read moreshe was struggling with homework and reading comprehension. Sylvan started by doing a full assessment and then walked us through which program would best fit her needs. We began with homework help, but after seeing her results, we switched to their reading comprehension program. She now attends twice a week, and they focus on helping her understand what she reads--things like cause and effect, main ideas, and writing at a 5th‑grade level. One thing I really appreciate is that they even reached out to her school teacher to get a clearer picture of where she was academically, so everyone is working together. Since starting, my daughter has grown so much. She actually enjoys writing now and is slowly building more interest and confidence in reading. The small group setting works really well for her, and I love that Sylvan does monthly check‑ins with parents so we always know how she's progressing. Overall, Sylvan has been a great experience for our family, and I'm grateful for the support they've given my daughter.

When he first started, he was slightly below grade level, but in a short amount of time, he has not only caught up but exceeded expectations and moved ahead to the next level. My older son also attended Sylvan for reading and math about a year ago, and he experienced excellent results as well. The program is truly effective and well-structured. The math and reading programs at Sylvan are outstanding, and I highly recommend them to any parent looking to support and strengthen their child's education. It has been one of the best investments I've made in my children's academic growth, and I plan to continue with the program as it supports them through different stages of their learning journey. A special thank you to Kulwinder and the entire team at Sylvan for their dedication and hard work. I've explored other tutoring options in the past, but nothing compares--Sylvan is, without a doubt, the best.
