Success Stories

ACT Prep

"Anastasia (our daughter) initially took the ACT test during her sophmore year of High School. She had no tutoring or guidance for her first sitting, and her scores were just OK (23 cumulative, but an 18 in Math and a 21 in Science).

She re-took the exam in September of her Senior Year (September, 2011) after having the benefit of 8 hours of Sylvan tutoring at the Wheaton Center. We were so pleased with the improvement in her scores! Her Math score increased from an 18 to a 23, which contriubuted to a new cumulative of 25!! Sylvan help hern focus not just on subject matter and material, but also on test taking strategies.

But it gets better: On December 10th, our daughter re-rook the ACT test. Her prep included reviewing Sylvan materials independently as well as re-visiting strategies she had tried in September. Results: Reading 31, Math 25, Science 24, and English 22, with a new cumulative of 26. She actually finished every section of the test, including all of the Math problems).

Sylvan gives teens a practical and useful approach to SAT and ACT testing. Our daughter understood the instruction and applied the knowledge directly to the test. Her sessions were coordinated with the actual test taking dates in order to keep the knowledge fresh in her mind. We will be forever grateful we took the chance to call Sylvan and go to the Wheaton Center. The improvement in her self confidence - the doors now opening to her with her test results - we have the Wheaton Sylvan to thank for working with our Anastasia.

Thank you so much Wheaton Sylvan!!! And please - to future ACT test takers - GO TO SYLVAN!!!!"

Confidence Rising!!!

"During the time Macy has been at Sylvan, she has grown in her confidence, her ability to remain calm in a stressful school test taking situation and has begun to relate one skill to another."

Superintendent recommends Sylvan!!!!

"The child just had her assessment today but she is usually frustrated and for the first time she is excited about learning. She is excited about summer school. Go figure! Michele (Center Director) was very upfront and helpful and I feel that my child is going to get a huge head start from this program. My aunt is the superintendent of a school district and she recommended your facility, stating as an educator of 40+ years, yours is the only program she has 100% confidence in."

Programs that really work!!

"My son Mitchell's confidence level has definitely improved with school; he really enjoyed Study Skills, that made studying much easier for him."

Attitudes changing!!

"Our son's attitude toward reading has changed tremendously. He is enthused about reading, tries to read everything, and his problem solving skills have improved. The team at Sylvan are doing a wonderful job. He loves earning the tokens!"

- Irma McCall

Positive reinforcement is a GOOD thing!!!

"I think positive reinforcement is a great way to teach young children. However, my son tends to focus more on getting tokens than the lesson. This does not mean he is not learning, he is doing very well and my wife and I have seen a marked improvement since he started. I think it is hard for all of us to make improvements just for the sake of it without rewarding ourselves. The staff are GREAT. I like reviewing the reports at our conferences. Thank you."
