- Mrs. K. F. of Buffalo, regarding her 7 year old son.

Initiative and Pride

""I am extremely pleased in my son who is showing more initiative and autonomy in his schoolwork. Especially pleased in how he continually leaves his homework for me to review; this tells me he is more confident in himself! His writing has improved considerably. Overall, I am pleased with his progress! Thank You Sylvan!!!""

- Ms. A.D. of Buffalo, regarding her 15 year old son.

- Mrs. M. K. of Niagara Falls, regarding her 8 year old son.

Tangible Progress in School

- Mrs. S. N. of Amherst, regarding her 14 year old daughter and 17 year old son.

Growing Self Confidence

- Mrs. C. W. of Fort Erie, regarding her 11 year old daughter.

Excited About Learning

""The staff is wonderful!! My son looks forward to his sessions and always leaves the center feeling "on top of the world". It's the first time he has ever enjoyed learning, especially a subject that he never liked before! He wanted to know if Sylvan had their own private school that he could attend full time! Our family is very happy that we have taken the first step!""

- Mrs. M.K.S. of Getzville, regarding her 10 year old son.

- Mrs. B of Grand Island High School

Parent Discussing Same Student Success as Above!

- Mrs. L of Grand Island, regarding her 16 year old daughter.

- Mrs. J.T. of Williamsville regarding her 12 year old son.

Success with www.SylvanMathPrep.com!

""My son has been using SylvanMathPrep.com on an as needed basis to this point. Much to our surprise he is having no problem holding an A to high B average in both math classes so far this year. I will be pushing him to start using the ACT/SAT prep portion on a regular basis for obvious reasons. His comments about the program are very favorable. He commented that he was ahead of the class on one subject as a direct result of spending time with the program the night before!""

- Sylvan Parent of Bradford, PA regarding his 15 year old son.

Student excited about Sylvan Advanced Reading Program!

""The helpfulness of the instructors is amazing! I was always that guy who would take the longest to read aloud or finish the test. After the 12 hours of instruction I have improved my time and comprehension by 200%. This was the best course I have taken at Sylvan. I highly recommend this course because these skills will last me for a lifetime!""

- P. L. of Williamsville, 18 years old.
