How Can I Afford to Enroll My Child at Sylvan?

Many parents take advantage of the Sallie Mae Student Loan program. The application process is quick and easy, and most parents are approved within a few days. This makes Sylvan affordable and you can make your payments of an average of $50 to $100 per month. Call Sylvan today for more information at 402-727-8888.

How Many Sessions Should My Child Attend Each Week?

The number of sessions your child attends at Sylvan will depend on the goals set for the child and how quickly the parents want them accomplished. Students attending six hours per week in a subject will complete 72 hours of instruction in twelve weeks. Progress assessments will provide parents with detailed information about their student's progress. How quickly do you want your child to reach his/her goals? The answer will help you to decide the number of hours per week your child needs to attend Sylvan sessions. The average length of stay at a Sylvan Learning Center is six to nine months.

Why Invest in Supplemental Education?

Supplemental education offers remediation and enrichment to students of all ages who seek to build - or build upon - basic skills. A careful program of supplemental education tells a child that his/her learning needs are important year round. This is a far more positive approach than giving glaring attention to problems and slipping grades at report card times. The Fremont Sylvan Learning Center's Directors, Derek Strohman and Linda Kahnk, talk with concerned parents every day. The most common regret of parents is, "I wish I had called when we first thought about it." For more information about Sylvan, call 402-727-8888.
