Success Stories

From Michelle - mother of Tyler

"I would like to thank you all for the help you have given Tyler. I believe he can now continue to progress at school and meet his goals.

A lot of that comes from the increase in his self-confidence and his ability to believe in himself. I don't hear him say "I can't" or "I'm too dumb to read" anymore, and his grades are continually improving.

Thank you, Sylvan!"

- Michelle

Thank You, Sylvan!

"My daughter, Chelsea, is in third grade this year. Up until this year, school had been relatively easy for her. This year, however, she was struggling with math and reading. Even though we worked at home every night, her grades were still slipping. Not knowing what else to do, I called Decatur's Sylvan Learning Center.

The Director and staff were so welcoming and really put Chelsea at ease. We enrolled her in Academic Reading and Math Essentials. Right away, I saw results, as Chelsea was more confident in herself and her grades were improving at school. Her teacher said she is the most improved student she has ever had! Chelsea is nearing the end of her programs at Sylvan, and I am confident she will now be successful in school. Sylvan really made a big difference in Chelsea's life that will truly last a lifetime. So, thank you so much, Sylvan!"

Chad is Ready for College!

"Dear Decatur Sylvan,

I would like to take this opportunity to share with you how the entire staff at Sylvan have made an incredible impact on my high school son, Chad.

As you know, Chad came to Sylvan with a negative attitude towards school and college was the last thing on his mind. After enrolling him in your College Prep Writing and ACT Prep courses, Chad became a whole new person. He now has the self-assurance to go out and do his best, as well as the knowledge to back it up. Chad has been actively applying to colleges throughout Illinois and I am confident he will be accepted into a college of his choice. Who knows, perhaps he will even get a scholarship. I will keep you updated on his progress.

In the meantime, the administration and teachers at Sylvan need to keep doing what they do best... teaching students and preparing them for success! Thank you all for your hard work and dedication to Chad's education. He is on the path to go far in life, and it would not have been possible without you!

Respectfully,
Diana of Decatur, IL"

What do I like about Sylvan?

""The easier question for me is what don't I like... the answer is nothing. The staff is amazing, the content challenging and effective. My children love going to Sylvan! Both have improved greatly in school as well as in their self-esteem. I recommend Sylvan to any parent who has a child who is struggling with school!""
