For more than 30 years, Sylvan has helped more than two million students learn to read, write, calculate and organize themselves to reach their potential inside and outside of the classroom. More importantly, Sylvan has helped children develop a love of learning and a confidence that they carry throughout their lives.

Help your child catch up, keep up or get ahead

Most students — regardless of their academic performance — can use extra help to achieve their full learning potential in one or more key subjects. At Sylvan, we offer a choice of quality academic programs, courses for credit, college prep programs, camps and test preparation courses to help students improve overall. Our proven process begins with a Sylvan Skills Assessment test that is designed to identify your child's strengths and needs, so that we can then create an effective, personalized program that's right for your child. Our trained,state certified teachers ensure that your child receives the individualized attention necessary to master the skills needed to do better in school and better in life.
