Successful for my son!

"I started bringing my 10 year-old son to Sylvan in Glendale at the beginning of the summer. After a thorough assessment by the Sylvan staff, we enrolled him in the writing program as I felt that his writing skills at the end of fourth grade were not up to par. Fast forward to September and the first week of school. My son had a book report due on the first day of school for a book his teacher assigned to read at the end of the summer. His teacher's feedback was that my son's writing was at grade level, and where he should be for the beginning of 5th grade. I am confident that this would not have happened if he had not been attending Sylvan. The staff works very hard to design a program that is the right fit for your child, and they make every effort to have your child meet with a teacher that is the right fit for their learning needs and style. They have programs for many subjects, including one focusing on Organizational/Study skills. Taylor, the director of curriculum (I think that's her title) is smart, attentive and compassionate. She and the rest of the staff are responsive to my concerns, and the atmosphere feels very personal. They are also very flexible in scheduling your child's tutoring. Its a little expensive, but I would highly recommend the Glendale Learning Center."

Thanks, Sylvan!

"The testing experience for my 4 old year was wonderful. The staff were knowledgeable, warm and made everyone feel at home. Their token system is brilliant! It's a great way to motivate and help students to focus. If my child is happy, then I'm happy."

- Katherine N.

"You are friendly and positive about my child's progress. You are reliable when it come to scheduling. My son tells me you have the best prizes ever."

Returning Student

"My 9 yr old grandson attended Sylvan Glendale during the summer between 1st and 2nd grade and had completed math and reading. He loved attending Sylvan. He is now finishing the 4th grade. A couple of weeks ago, he came and asked if he could return to Sylvan because he felt himself "slipping" and that Sylvan had helped him a lot. He has only attended 3 sessions (2 hrs each) and loves it once again. He has shared several things that he has already learned with his comprehension. The Staff are professional and they make learning fun.

When a 9 year old boy would rather sit in a tutoring session rather than playing basketball or video games, it really says something about the tutoring."

Success!!

Fan Club

"Thank you all for your hard work. Jack loves coming to see you all. You've made learning really fun for him and he feels great about himself. Thanks for always being willing to adapt his lessons with regards to our comments and suggestions to compliment what he's being taught in school. It's great to know he has such a fan club."

A Successful First Day at Sylvan

"I am always of the belief that first impressions hold true for most experiences, especially regarding children.

On my way to pick up Ryan today, his first day, I expected tears, back talk, frustration, "Mom I hate it, why do I have to do this" blah, blah, blah, only to await my rather LARGE glass of chilled wine at home to help soothe my brain and calm my nerves.

May I say "AU CONTRAIRE"!!!! Talk about first impressions. He came out with a smile on his face, a good mood, home to do his homework(WHAT?????) and out to play ball with the boys. He is awaiting his Sunday session to acquire more tokens to save up for the gumball machine in your store. Not sure how you do it, or what it is that goes on behind that glass door of yours. But as first impressions go, it was positive and Mike and I are THRILLED as parents! We are enjoying this ride finally!

Thanks for everything.
Looking forward to the next three months."

"Our Sylvan experience has been 100% positive. Courtney loves everyone there and looks forward to her tutoring. They have raised her Algebra grade to a 102% and she has confidence and now loves math because of it. They are also EXTREMELY accommodating as there have been numerous times when I have called in the morning for a same day appointment (Courtney often lets me know right after her Algebra class if she "doesn't get it") and they will always do their very best to fit her in.
Thank you!"

- Sandy P.

"My son works with a Teacher by the name of Eric and he has been Godsend. It's been amazing for him. I’m very happy to have found Sylvan and Eric."

- Lily J.

"The staff is so friendly. They know all of the students by name and interact with them in a very caring manner. On our first visit I mentioned that one of the neighbor’s children had attended in the past and when I mentioned the last name they instantly knew the first name of the child even though he had attended 2 years earlier!"

- Colleen D.

Thank You, Sylvan Staff

"You all have been a great inspiration to my son Christian. He has improved in his Math and Vocabulary because of you. Words cannot express our gratitude to all of you! Thank you! Thank you! If later in High School he needs you for help, you will be our first choice."

- Sam, Maria and Christian M.

I would do a Sylvan commercial for free!

"My son's experience at Sylvan has been amazing. In 2008, he attended Sylvan for reading and went from reading at below 1st grade level to above 3rd grade level in 10 weeks! When my son didn't finish 2nd grade at the level he wanted to, he asked, "Mom, can't I just go to Sylvan? They always help me." That's what any parent wants to hear. To all of the staff- Arpi, Scott, Katherine and all the ones I can remember, THANK YOU. I would do a Sylvan commercial for free!"

- Karen C.

Thank You, Sylvan

"Thank you for all that yo have done for my daughter, Christina to improve her learning skills. I really appreciate the understanding you have shown us and the time and effort you have put to ensure her high achievements. Our experience at Sylvan has nothing but educational and a great success."

Math Success

"Gabby has benefited so much from her continued contacts with Sylvan, and I thank you for your excellent program. I asked her how she was progressing in her Algebra II class, and she proudly informed me that she is getting a "B." I congratulated her, and then asked whether this would be the last of her required math classes in high school. She said, "No. Pre-calculus is next." I answered, "Well, you don't have to take that, do you?" And she replied emphatically, "But I'm taking it! I WANT to!"
...This is from a girl who started your program in 5th grade with math skills at the 1st and 2nd grade level. You certainly brought her a long way."
