Writing

    Sylvan Academic Writing

    Sylvan’s Academic Writing Program helps students in grades 4-12 master a variety of writing formats and styles, including descriptive essays, comparative passages, persuasive writing, expository writing, summaries and outlines. The program will also include exercises in:
    •Grammar
    •Vocabulary and paragraph structure
    •Essay development

    Students learn and practice a proven process to good writing: pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing and publishing. Computer-based assignments help students develop and master important writing skills.

Homework Help

    Homework Support

    We assist students in understanding the assignment and make sure the work is completed with a thorough understanding of the material. We help prepare for tests and exams.

    In most centers, enrolled Sylvan students have the benefit of receiving homework support when they come to the center for their regular tutoring sessions. We may devote a small amount of time each tutoring hour to providing homework support.
