Tutoring Success Stories | Sylvan Learning of Kissimmee, FL

Parent Testimonial

"Dear Mrs. Rebecca Coleman,

I would like to take this opportunity to express how happy I am with your staff, Sylvan center and of course the amazing achievement my son made this past semester at your center.
My son G. Correa was a 7th grade student last year and since elementary he has been struggling with Reading. Once FCAT started for him it was always such a stress for us since G. Correa was taking Speech Therapy since Pre-K.
Through out the years G. Correa's FCAT scores on reading were always Level 1 or barely making it to Level 2. Every year I saw myself going to the school, meeting with the school staff to come up with plans & ways to target his reading problems. Once G. Correa reached middle school, the school system will place any student with a low FCAT score in intensive reading the following year. Well.... by 7th grade my son was in intensive reading twice per semester.. :( I honestly don't think this works.. We were very desperate and running out of hope. This past year like every year I went to school and asked to speak with the principal, asst. principal, teachers, etc... This time things needed to be different, one more time we talked about G. Correa's school background, plans, targets, expectations, etc... and I asked for some other options... two weeks later I received an application for tutoring thru Osceola County. At first, I thought it was not going to work... but we decided to give it a try and we choose your center. From the first visit to your center to G. Correa's last day.... You & your staff were so professional, courteous, friendly and very easy going with parents & students.
One of G. Correa's tutoring days was Saturdays at 12 noon and G. Correa never complainted about goimg to your center. (Okay...so... for a 13 year old getting up on a Saturday to go to tutoring without complaining...that tells you a lot..)

Please share with me the amazing feeling of seeing the light of hope...... He went from a Level 1 to a Level 3.. WOW!!!! I'm not only very proud of my son but I will be forever grateful to your center, staff & all the hard work that was done to achieve this.

Thanks!!!! Rebbeca, G. Correa's tutors & the staff at your center for a JOB WELL DONE!!"

Parent Testimonial

"When my daughter entered 1st grade it was apparent that she needed a little extra help to boost her confidence. Since she was born in the summer, she was younger than her entire class. I thought that introducing Sylvan to her along with school was going to be too much for her. She was immediately drawn to the individual time that she was given along with the encouragement and reward system for achieving. Since she started attending Sylvan her teachers have commented on how well she has improved in her daily studies and I have noticed how her confidence has risen to a higher level. She has improved her skills in both reading and math with the help of Sylvan. Sylvan has found the ways in which she learns best, from puzzles to independent tasks. She has a fondness of going to Sylvan and learning each and every day. I would recommend Sylvan to any parent whose child may need a little more guidance in any academic area."

Parent Testimonial

"We have been very impressed with the Sylvan experience. Sylvan absolutely motivated Gabi to learn and challenge herself more and more. She has been developing great self-esteem. We could see a phenomenal success with our daughter. She was doing poorly in 3rd grade. We started the Sylvan program and she drastically improved. She was able to finish elementary school with straight A's and passed a preparatory school exam. Today, she is going into 7th grade with high honor grades.

We are very pleased with Sylvan. The staff at Sylvan listened to our needs and has always done their best to help Gabi become better and better. Every summer she asks to come back to Sylvan to "warm up" before school. We really recommend this fabulous program to all students."

Grandmother's testimonial

"Sylvan has really helped Timothy. He has struggled with reading since first grade. He was retained in first grade and again in third, when he didn't pass the FCAT.

This fall, he was going into fifth grade. We decided to have him tested at Sylvan. He tested at mid first grade level. We enrolled him in late July, and now six months later, his comprehension is above his grade level and his overall reading is up!

He can now write 5 paragraph essays, before he could barely write one paragraph. He actually reads to himself for enjoyment, not just when he has to for school.

Going to Sylvan has greatly improved his reading and his self-confidence."

"Our daughter, Alyssa began the Sylvan program and was tested and evaluated by Sylvan. She was almost 2 grade levels BEHIND her present grade. In one year she has made unbelievable progress and is now consistently testing almost 2 grades ABOVE grade level.

The most valuable and important benefit of all is that she now has confidence in herself she did not have before. She is more sure of herself and is not afraid to participate in school. Sylvan and their staff have given her the one-to-one attention she needed and equipped Alyssa with the tools she needs to excel in class and most of all to BELIEVE IN HERSELF which is more than any test can ever measure. It's changed her future."

- Emily and Nelson, parents of Alyssa
