From a Westerville Elementary Student's parent

"I would absolutely recommend Sylvan Learning Center. My daughter has gained so much from this program.

I cannot thank the folks at Sylvan enough for all their efforts to help my daughter. They have exceeded my expectations

and I will forever be grateful. I look forward to the conferences and I really feel that they care about my child and her

personal goals to improve. My daughter also enjoys the program and looks forward to her sessions - and getting

her certificates. Sylvan has done a wonderful job with building her self esteem and I can see how confident she

is with her reading. The staff are always polite and professional."

From a Westerville Parent regarding their high school son

"Yes, I would definitely recommend Sylvan Learning Center to our family and friends. As a matter of fact, I have shared the successes we have had with our son as a result of Sylvan with many people over the years. Not only has Sylvan helped build his math, reading and study skills, it has given him confidence to apply what he has learned to his subjects in school. We truly appreciate the level of expertise and customer service provided by the Sylvan staff."

"His confidence has increased considerably. He is willing to take the risk and try when he isn't positive."

- Parent of a 2nd grader from Johnnycake Corner El. School

"Erik's one summer at Sylvan to work on math skills....not only resulted in a student who loves math and performed exceptionally at school but in scoring "ADVANCED" on his OAT (27 points above the school average and 41 points above the state average). Thank you."

- Parent of a 5th grader from Alcott Elementary School

"For the first time she received high marks on her OAT testing last May (the reading & writing portions). This year she was recently awarded the "Top Reader" of the entire 5th grade class for the 4th quarter and an "A" for the grading period in Reading.
This was a child that did not enjoy reading or writing before her experience at Sylvan. Now she can't put a book down.
I applaud each of you for your tireless effort and for making a difference in the lives of the children you work with."

- Mother of a 5th grader from Worthington Hills Elementary School

"All our work on math paid off in her increased skills and confidence. She got the "most improved student" award."

- Parent of a 7th grader from Olentangy Liberty Middle School

"When my son knows a word or an answer to a question that he didn't before ... he stops and says "Thank You Sylvan"."

- Parent of a 10th grader from Westerville South High School

"He now knows how to utilize his study hall at school. Plus all of his grades went up."

- Mother of an 8th grader at Shannahan Middle School

Study Skills Students and their Parents

""Why don't all teachers teach like Sylvan teachers?"
"Believe it or not I think Cornell Notes are great."
"Learning to study concepts every night will make my chapter tests easier."
"She is coming home from school and starting her homework without a fight.""

- Worthington and Olentangy Families

"It has taken me way to long to write this e-mail. I wanted to let you know how much you and Sylvan have played in the life of our grandson. In the six months since we have had him, he has matured beyond belief. I hold Sylvan directly responsible for his belief in his abilities, his new love of learning, and his whole attitude towards education. He has actually admitted to us that Sylvan was a tremendous help to him when he started school at Westerville Central.

...

I can't thank you enough for all you have done. In my mind, you will always be an intrical part of his life. Nisey, you have a way about you that makes every student feel as they are the most important one in your school.

I wish you all my best wishes for your individual success and happiness and the success of your school.

Sincerely,"

- Guardian of a High School student from Westerville
