SUCCESS STARTS HERE!
SYLVAN WORKS!!
Only Sylvan offers a highly personalized learning process that sets us apart from other tutoring services. We call it 'THE SYLVAN ADVANTAGE' because it goes far beyond what other tutors are willing and able to offer their students. Special features include:
THE SYLVAN SKILLS ASSESSMENT:
Sylvan programs begin with a detailed profile of your child’s academic strengths and needs based on the results of the Sylvan Skills Assessment. This comprehensive evaluation includes a unique combination of standardized tests, diagnostic tools and personal interviews to help our Directors accurately determine specific ‘skill gaps’ and the most effective way to boost or bolster learning deficits.
Whether your goal is to ‘catch up’, ‘keep up’ or ‘get ahead’, we are able to develop a customized program that is the most effective plan for your child.
PERSONALIZED TUTORING PLAN:
Sylvan understands that each child has a unique learning style. We will develop a personalized program based on goals and assessments that incorporates the specific content your child will need to strengthen skills, build confidence and competence, and develop a foundation for continued learning that will last a lifetime.
INDIVIDUAL ATTENTION:
Regardless of grade or skill level, your child will receive the individual attention he or she needs to improve classroom performance. Our teachers work individually with your child in a small group setting to ensure successful skill development. This personal interaction facilitates rapid recovery of weaker skills that translates into academic success.
STATE-CERTIFIED TEACHERS:
All Sylvan teachers are state-certified and endorsed as well as being trained in our Sylvan programs. They utilize proven learning techniques to enhance and ensure long-term retention of skills and concepts. New skills are not introduced until earlier skills have been mastered by your child.
MOTIVATIONAL PROGRAMS:
Our students remain engaged and eager learners through reinforced success and recognition of effort. Constant affirmation from caring tutors and our ‘Sylvan tokens’ combine to make learning fun and rewarding. The ‘Sylvan Store’ is a favorite gathering spot for students who can redeem their accrued tokens for great prizes and games!
PROGRESS REPORTS:
At Sylvan, we’re committed to keeping you up-to-date on your child’s progress and concerns. We schedule frequent conferences with you to evaluate your child’s unique program and attainment of specific academic goals and expectations.
FLEXIBLE PROGRAMS AND SCHEDULES:
Because our students’ needs are constantly changing, we become a ‘learning partner’ to our families throughout the years. Programs include: Beginning Reading, Academic Reading, Math Essentials, Advanced Math, Early and Academic Writing, ACT and College Prep and Homework Support for all grade levels. We can accommodate schedule changes on short notice or create long-term permanent instruction schedules.
SCHOOL COMMUNICATION:
With your permission, Sylvan will become a partner with your child’s classroom teacher to make sure that progress at Sylvan translates into school success. Your student’s academic goals become a collaborative effort as we work with our families and schools to guarantee that learning goals are met.
'THE SYLVAN GUARANTEE'
After 36 hours of instruction in either Academic Reading or Math Essentials,we guarantee that your child will progress one full grade level in either Vocabulary or Comprehension (Reading): Computation or Concepts and Application (Math Essentials). If progress is not attained we will provide 12 additional hours of instruction at no charge!
TUITION OPTIONS:
We offer a competitive fee schedule as well as financially-friendly financing options to our families. There is no contract and discounts are available when program hours are purchased in advance. These hours may be applied to multiple programs or used for siblings. They do not expire!

Our middle and high school students can also log on to SylvanMathPrep.com - a valuable online tutorial program that correlates to their own classroom textbook!
BOOST YOUR SCORE WITH SYLVAN'S ACT PREP!!
The first question many people ask when getting ready for the ACT is "How important are test scores, really?" When you do the math, you'll see that admissions tests make up half of the final decision regarding who gets in to what school. Sylvan's ACT Prep Program teaches not only test taking strategies students need to know in order to successfully navigate the ACT, we also reviews the content your student will face on the test. Each student goes through a minimum of 20 instructional hours either in small groups or individually to ensure the best fit and to achieve the best results. Contact our center at 224.543.1120 for more details.
