Success Stories

Sylvan is Worth It

"“Even though Sylvan is an investment, it’s worth it! Last year my son needed our help for his school reports, and lately he’s doing the reports by himself. Thank You!”

Parent of a 4th grader in Millbrae,CA

Academic Writing Student

"“Sylvan has taught me many wonderful lessons on essay writing. The lessons fill my brain with great education, and transform me into a greater writer. I have to thank Sylvan for helping me tap into the potential reserves I never knew I had. Without Sylvan, it seems likely that I wouldn’t perform my best, and could waste all of my potential. Sylvan also has a unique way of teaching, which I believe helps me learn much more. I believe Sylvan is a wonderful tutoring program, and I recommend it to anyone in need of great tutoring in a positive environment.”"

- J.T. of San Mateo, 5th grade April 2011

Christina in San Mateo August 2010

"Sylvan has made me confident about going into high school algebra in a short period of time, which is fantastic! Thank you, Sylvan!

Cristina"

"Both our children have benefitted from Sylvan instruction! It gave them that extra repetition that has made work in the classroom easier! My kids also loved the goal setting and reward system as they saved up tokens in their “bank” to purchase the latest cool item in the “store”. I never had my kids complain that they didn’t want to attend. The instructors made learning fun!

The staff has been wonderful, encouraging and honest. They are dedicated to students progress and kept me very well informed. Antionette was a great team player with our school teachers as well. I really felt that we all on the same page! Thanks Sylvan!"

- Melinda A. August 2009

"Sylvan offers multiple courses for students seeking to improve their skills, or even surpass them. The classes are well-organized and are planned ahead of time. The staff may be the most considerate people you will ever meet, and they will work with you every step of the way. Basically, if you have a problem, Sylvan has the solution! Yes, they are amazing!"

- John K. - BHS graduating Class of 2010

"The teachers are super friendly and helpful. The place and people are great! I got very good results on both the ISEE and the HSPT. Thanks a lot, Sylvan!"

- Leonardo C. (now a student at Crystal Springs Upland School)

Homework has gotten better

"Our daughter has changed her approach to homework by improving her planning for the assignments, taking more pride in the quality of her work and enjoyment of improved grades. She is excited about going to Sylvan for her study skills."

- Mr. and Mrs. T. - San Mateo

"My son Nick is getting ready for Kindergarten and I felt he needed some work on writing skills. He started Sylvan about 5 months ago and his confidence as well as skills have soared. He really enjoys going and looks forward to his time there. I feel he will have a successful year in Kindergarten."

- Sue W.- June 2008

Getting Ahead

"Our kids have been enrolled at Sylvan in Burlingame for 1.5 years and we could not be happier. Both kids really enjoy all of their tutors and the learning enviornment. We enjoy the regular progress / academic updates. Sylvan has a way of making it fun for them and they actually look forward to it each week. The programs designed for our kids have certainly accomplished our goal of keeping them ahead and has helped us lay a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning."
