Success Stories

No more tears!

"My daughter Brittaney has always found math difficult but by grade 5 she was struggling to the point of tears every evening if she had math homework. No amount of coaching from me could help her with this problem and always resulted in frustration on both sides.

We turned to Sylvan Learning with hopes that they could help. In just a few months I am amazed at the results. Brittaney is no longer frustrated and her confidence level is so much better. She has been able to turn around her marks in school from being an average of 50% to an average of 90%!

Brittaney always loves to come to Sylvan and finds the teachers to be very friendly and patient. Under their guidance she has thrived in Sylvan’s Math program.

This has definitely been the best investment in my child’s education. I love to see how proud my daughter is to show me her marks from school now and how her confidence in herself has improved so much. What a huge turn around and best of all no more tears!!"

Educator Recommends Sylvan!

"My son, Chris, needed help catching up on his English reading & writing
after moving from French Immersion into the English program. English is our language at home and with my background in education I thought I would be able to supplement his studies to get him caught up. There's something about mom or dad trying to teach. My son, wasn't as receptive to learning from me. I struggled to work with Chris for 3 months before turning to Sylvan. We had heard about Sylvan from a friend. After my initial meeting, I was very excited to get Chris started in their program and the results in 2 months have been amazing! Chris' 2nd grade teacher told me that he was much further along than they had anticipated. He's now in a more advanced reading group and no longer needs an adult reader or scribe to help him through his school day. Chris still has work to do, but with Sylvan on our side, I'm confident that Chris will be more than ready for Grade 3 in September.

Chris attends 2 nights a week and he looks forward to his Sylvan nights. He
enjoys his time at Sylvan and working hard. He loves telling me how much he
has "earned" in Sylvan money. What a fantastic system to reinforce learning. We're looking forward to picking up another evening for math and
continuing the learning through the year. Sylvan is doing more than just
helping Chris "catch up". At the rate he's going he will excel. We see his
self confidence increasing and to us that's the best of all."

We Will Not Hesitate To Return!

"We knew our son, James, wasn't reading as well as we hoped, but by the end of Grade 1, he was not reading anywhere near to grade level. Although we were reassured by the teachers that he would do fine in Grade 2, we decided to get extra help through tutoring. We had heard about Sylvan Leaning Centres form their advertisements, and word-of-mouth, and decided to give them a try.

Right from the beginning, we felt welcome and comfortable. The Director was open and accessible and the Teachers were patient and competent. James spent a long time at Sylvan (almost a full year) and his reading greatly improved unitl he was reading at grade level by the middle of Grade 3.

James thrived under the small teacher-to-student ratio, the structure of each session, and especially the reward system which enabled him to save for, and purchase, interesting items form the 'store'.

As parents, we were regularly updated on James' progress and were able to communicate, and act upon, any new difficulties quickly and efficiently.

Although we are not currently registered in a Sylvan Learning Centre study program, I know that we will not hesitate to return if we encounter any learning challenges in the future.

Sincerely,

Joanne and Ty H."
