Supplemental Education Services through the No Child Left Behind Act
The federal law known as the No Child Left Behind Act requires New York State to identify schools that need to improve. It also provides for free tutoring for eligible students at those schools. If your child qualifies, you can take advantage of this great opportunity to improve your child's reading or math skills.
If it is identified as a school in need of improvement, your school district has put together a list of tutoring service providers that meet their standards. As the parent or guardian of an eligible child, you can choose any provider on that list.
Sylvan Learning of Amherst has been a NYS-approved provider of supplemental education services under the No Child Left Behind Act since 2005. We have successfully tutored urban, suburban and rural students in reading or math with high quality Sylvan educational programs that have improved their academic success and met the needs of of their school districts.
