Success Stories

Great Progress

"We have been extremely pleased with our experience thus far. The staff are all very professional and are to be commended for their commitment to these kids. Matthew was resistant to going to Sylvan at first, but now he really enjoys going. We have seen marked improvement in a very short time."

- Steve S.

Happy Family

"The staff was willing to listen not only about Kristen's progress at Sylvan and at school, they were interested in her and her life and her family's too. We were so pleased with our daughter's progress. She made the 7th grade Honor Roll, and it was with the help she received at the Barrington Illinois Sylvan. Her father and I can't praise the main staff and tutors enough. My daughter especially enjoyed her time with Susan S. I would recommend Sylvan to all my friends!"

YEAH!

"Our daughter went from C in math student to an A- in a year. She is also doing much better in all other subjects despite her diagnosed learning disabilities, decoding issues. We are planning to have her work at Sylvan on other subjects, like her decoding issue and difficulties with words. Her confidence is way up and she is an honor roll student, she doesn't need to go to the special resources class and has been recommended to take a foreign language instead. We are very pleased and happy with Sylvan and the support, which Betsy and Diane provided to us. Last year at this time we were totally discouraged, this year due to Sylvan hard work we are extremely happy."

Mom is a teacher!!

"The staff at Sylvan have made our experience a positive one. Each teacher and director puts the students first by individualizing the instruction. They take the time to get to know the kids, have conversations with them, and are constantly encouraging them. My older son attended Sylvan for over 100 hours to help with reading when he was in 1st and 2nd grade. Now a 5th grader, he has the confidence and the skills to succeed and Sylvan is reason why. He also went for math assistance in 4th grade and again, his ability to work with math problems with confidence is very evident. My daughter, who is in 2nd grade, is enrolled in the math support program right now and even after just 10 hours at Sylvan, she is feeling more comfortable with her math and with her other school work. Sylvan has been a wonderful blessing to our family!"

Repeat Customer-Great Results!!!

"My son was a student at Sylvan for 2 yrs, it brought his math grade up to an A and increased his confidence immensely. My daughter now attends, it has only been a few months, but I expect that she will gain skills and confidence quickly! Betsy is wonderful!

My kids enjoy learning with most of the teachers there-when they prefer to work with a certain teacher, Betsy always tries to make that adjustment. I appreciate that!"

Relief for mom and daughter

"Kathryn has not grumbled once about going to Sylvan. I think she is relieved to get help with her math.
Sylvan store is a big motivator for Kathryn."
