Success Stories

Ryan's Reading

"Ryan was having difficulty with reading. He could not read very well.

After coming to Sylvan he has improved so much in everything. He can read a lot better and has improved in Language Arts. If he wasn’t going to Sylvan and getting the help he needed he would not have passed the ELA exam."

My Confident Son

"When my son would put words in Alphabetical order, he would have to recite the ABC’s every time he came across a word. He was also afraid of making mistakes in reading.

Sylvan has helped my son improve his reading. He is more confident in reading and tries harder in school. Now he can put groups of words in Alphabetical order just by looking at the first letter. He does not have to recite the ABC’s over and over again. The program is great."

"Now Reading is one of her favorite activities!"

"My daughter is 7 years old; her name is Susan and is in the first grade. It all started when I received a phone call from her school to inform me that my daughter would have to be held back because she had not reached the necessary goals to be promoted to the second grade. I felt so sad and desperate upon receiving this news that I began to seek out help. I immediately contacted Sylvan. I called by phone and they made an appointment for my child to take an assessment. It was then that I realized my daughter needed help immediately. What really encouraged me to continue with Sylvan was the fact that they told me that they were able to help. After a few months my daughter took the state exam over and surprised everyone at her school because she was able to meet every requirement in Math and Reading. She has been promoted to the next grade and we are all happy! Before Sylvan, my child could not read and now it is one of her favorite activities.

If anyone you know has academic problems in school, all you have to do is call Sylvan Learning and you will find your solution. They have the right method of working with your child and producing real results. I have personally experienced this with my daughter and I am so happy that I recommend families to take the first step and call Sylvan."

I Like Sylvan Because...

Why Do I Like Sylvan?

As the Center Director, I am always looking for ways to improve my students’ classes here. Part of this requires me giving my students an open forum to express to me why they like Sylvan. Here are some of their answers…

I Like Sylvan Because…

“I learn new things every time I am at Sylvan”
“Sylvan helps me to read better and to do my math work. I like it there, and you should come!”
“They help me with the things that I don’t understand. Thanks to them I have passed my Algebra class with a score of 94. I owe it all to you guys.”
“If you have a problem, the teachers work with you to answer and understand the question. This way you will be able to do the question on your own.”
“The classes are small, so you get more individual attention.”
“It is fun and great because I like to read books. I feel smart, great, awesome, and cool.”
“It works towards improving what I need help on for the SATs. It meets specific needs and works to your speed.”
“Because when I don’t understand my work they teach me till I understand what I’m doing.”
“It is fun to learn different stuff. When it’s Transition Time I like to play the different games, and I like the prizes.”
“It helps me with my stuff at school and makes me better at my work.”
“It’s helping me prepare for my SAT. Also I’m having a clear understanding on the subjects I am weak in.”
“It is fun! The teachers are nice.”
“I get to review things I either didn’t learn before or hadn’t heard about for a long time.”
“Today at Sylvan I learned about main idea, analogies, long vowels, and used Versatiles.”
“It’s fun!”
“It helps me with Reading and Math. It’s fun to get prizes. I like doing the math.”
“Because I am smarter in my class.”
“I learn about math. There are nice and funny teachers.”
“It is fun and I will become smart. It has cool toys and the teachers are smart.”
“Because it makes me smart!”
“Because I love working with Eric!”
“I learn to write in a fun way!”
“I will be smarter than my friends.”
“It has taught me a lot”
“They are cool. I like it!”"
