Tips for Parents of College-Bound Teens
1. Do the Research. Investigate and research colleges on the Internet or at your local library. Does your child prefer a private institution or a state-funded university? Would the student feel overwhelmed at a large school with 10,000 students? Which universities specialize in your child's interests or intended academic focus?
2. Help your teen remember deadlines. The college application process means allowing enough time to write essays, perfect applications and send forms on time. Keep a calendar of when each application is due.
3. Attend college information sessions together. Many high schools offer college preparation seminars, and many universities tour the country to give students information regarding their schools.
4. Discuss the cost of college. Figure out if your child will be applying for financial aid and how much you can afford to pay on your own.
5. Get guidance from your HS. Guidance counselors are a great source of information about college. They can provide insight on testing, tuition costs and the correct college choice.
More Tips for Parents of College-Bound Teens
6. Discuss which schools will support activities that your child enjoys. Does your child love sailing? If so, he may want to consider a college by the water. If your child is interested in sports, maybe you can find a college that will offer her a scholarship.
7. Have your child talk to his teachers. Teachers can discuss college courses and expectations. They can also write letters of recommendation.
8. Visit the schools your child is considering. Once your child is on the college campus, you will have a better idea of the school and how it fits with your child's expectations.
9. Consider entrance exams. If your child receives a qualifying grade on an institution's exam, the student is often eligible for scholarship monies.
10. Contact college alumni in your area. Regional alumni often offer to speak with prospective students about the educational and social aspects of the school.
11. Talk about fears. College is a time of change, and it is helpful to discuss what your child expects once she leaves home and begins her academic career.

Customer Satisfaction Survery
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION SURVEY
In an effort to ensure that we provide our customers with the highest level of quality customer service, our franchise owners periodically contact customers to ask for feedback.
Please take the time to talk to them or call them back. They will only ask you two key questions:
WOULD YOU RECOMMEND SYLVAN?
HOW WOULD YOU RATE YOUR CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE AT SYLVAN?
Your answer is very important to us because it lets us know how you feel about your Sylvan experience and how we can better serve you in the future.
RATING SCALE:
SCORE 0-6: DETRACTORS: CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE NEGATIVE FEEDBACK TO REPORT
Don’t wait for the Customer Service Care Call – if you have feedback or concerns, please discuss it with us immediately. We can’t address issues if we don’t know about them. If there’s a problem, we’ll fix it.
SCORE 7-8: NEUTRAL: CUSTOMERS WHO ARE PLEASED WITH US BUT NEED MORE
If your program is going well for the most part but there’s something more we could do, let us know what would really make a difference for you. What would take us from good to great?
SCORE 9-10: PROMOTERS: CUSTOMERS WHO ARE VERY HAPPY WITH SYLVAN AND WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND US
If your score is a 9, then why not a 10? Tell us how we could go the extra step to impress you! If all of your needs are being met, you’re enjoying your Sylvan experience and you would encourage others to attend – let us know you’re happy with a Score of 10.
WE AIM FOR 10s – IF YOUR SCORE IS LESS, TELL US WHY
There’s always room for improvement no matter what score you give us - we’re always aiming higher!
