Here is what our parents are saying about Sylvan!

Teacher Sees Progress in Rily at School

Fluency and decoding was a struggle for Rily when he first came to Sylvan of Frisco in July. He came to us three times a week for two-hour sessions and has made major improvements! His teachers at school cannot believe how fluently he reads and with so much confidence. “This is not the same student I saw back in May”, says one of his school teachers.

Rily’s mom is more than thrilled that he has made so much improvement. “Sylvan has not just helped Rily improve in his reading, but they brought up his confidence to where now he is raising his hand in class to read. We thought he would never get there. His teachers are as impressed as much as we are. Thanks, to the team at Sylvan in Frisco!"

Tremendous Progress

Miguel’s parents came to the Sylvan of Frisco because his school teachers feared he may have to repeat the first grade due to skill gaps in his reading and math. Miguel attended Sylvan three times a week for two-hour sessions. He worked so hard! After three months, his teachers at school were impressed with his leap in skills and decided to advance him to the second grade. Miguel has since returned to Sylvan to get ahead of his other classmates. His Sylvan teachers are ecstatic about his return!

Miguel’s mom had this to say about his progress at Sylvan, “My son has improved tremendously in his academics because of Sylvan!”

We Could Not Be Happier

Sydney first came to us back in November as a pre-kindergartener struggling with her fine motor skills and speech. By coming to Sylvan, she not only improved in these areas, but her confidence has grown significantly. Sydney is more independent, ambitious, and happy. She has a new love for school, and is eager to learn.

Sydney’s mom had this to say about the Sylvan of Frisco, “It has been a pure delight working with you and everyone at Sylvan. All of Sydney's tutors have treated her so kind and made her feel confident! We couldn't be happier from the outcome!”

Life Changing Experience

Victoria enrolled in Sylvan’s Beginning Reading program to help build her phonics. Once she started her instruction, it didn’t take long for Victoria to grasp her new skills and begin applying them in the classroom. In school, she is doing better not only in reading, but all her other academic classes as well. At Sylvan, her teachers have noticed a dramatic increase in her self esteem and confidence in her own reading abilities. Her father has noticed a significant difference in how she reads and decodes words.

Her dad recently had this to say, “This has been a life changing experience that will stay with Victoria for the rest of her life.”

"A" Student

DJ’s mom was concerned because her son was struggling severely in math. DJ came to the Sylvan of Frisco twice a week for two hour sessions for assistance with his math. In a short time period, DJ was flourishing in his math program and has been doing considerably better in his math classes.

DJ’s mom says: “Thank you for helping my son, DJ. He went from a struggling "C" student to an "A" student. Mr. Glen was really great with my son. He really connected with him, and DJ looked forward to seeing him each week.”

Sylvan Works!

Charles first came to Sylvan in February 2009. As a first grader, he was discouraged and upset with his lack of understanding in math. Due to his lack of confidence and skill gaps, Charles’s mom and dad were concerned he would have to repeat the first grade. Charles has come consistently each week and has made huge progress! He is starting the 2nd grade ahead of the other students with more confidence than ever! “This is our second student that has come to Sylvan. Because Sylvan had helped my step son, I knew that it would work for Charles! I am very happy with my son’s progress, and I feel that this was worth the investment,” says Charles’s parent.

Improved Three Grade Levels

Mark decided to attend Sylvan in hopes of attaining a better level of comprehension while he reads, as well as a more professional style of writing. In only three months, Mark has raised his comprehension, grammar, and vocabulary skills by three full grade levels. His writing has also become remarkably better, and others outside Sylvan, including his co-workers, have begun to take notice of his progress. His amazing work ethic and desire to succeed makes him stand among the best that have come to Sylvan.

The Right Choice!

The concern for passing the TAKS test brought Emily and Katie to Sylvan. Emily desperately wanted to enter 6th grade on time. Emily has been placed in an AP Math class this year as a result of her commended TAKS scores! Her sister Katie wanted to get ahead of her other classmates in math. Upon completion of her program, as a 2nd grader, Katie was testing at a 3rd grade level! Now, Emily and Katie have come back and are continuing to expand their math skills!

Emily and Katie's mom had this to say about her Sylvan experience: “At first, I had my doubts that Sylvan would be able to get my girls up an entire grade level in 36 hours of instruction. As time went on, not only did their math grades improve, I also received positive feedback from their teachers at school. When they were re-tested, I was pleasantly surprised that my girls scored a couple grade levels higher! Therefore, my husband and I have made the decision to come back to Sylvan this year to continue to help my girls be successful in math.”
