From the Family of Alyssa

"I have no words to say how grateful I feel to you all. My daughter Alyssa has found confidence, knowledge, and a better understanding in reading. Driving far to get to your office was worth it a thousand times."

My Child Is A Reader!!

"October 2007

Sylvan made such a difference in my son's life. He now knows he is a reader and a writer. He has JOY in reading and writing and he accomplished it with the tools and confidence that Sylvan taught him! Thank you!"

- Melissa, Will's mom

From the Parents of Trevor

"Dear Julie,

It is not my nature to praise a vendor for meeting expectations, however in the case of Sylvan Learning Center, I consider you more than a vendro, and you have consistently exceeded my expectations.

Prior to Sylvan, our son struggled with math, and was unable to connect with either student tutors or the other big name learning center. Since enrolling Trevor in the Sylvan math program more than three years ago, we have seen tremendous growth in his skill level. While English and history were his strong subjects, math has now become equally weighted.

I believe unsolicited recommendations are the best reference that any person or organization can receive, I can state without reservation that Sylvan Learning Center has made and will make a life time of different in our sons academic and professional career.

Thank you Julie for all your help and guidance!"

- Trevor's Father

From the Parents of Katie

"Katie is graduating on June 20. Thank you very much for your much needed support in making her understand her lessons better. You made learning Algebra fun for Katie. I will keep in touch with and I sure will let you know if Katie will once again be needing your assistance for the coming school year. Have a fun summer and please extend my thanks to all your staff at Sylvan. Everyone's been great and thanks again."

Mother of a Sylvan Student

"[My daughter] always has been a hard worker, but she also was very hard on herself. The self-esteem she realized through Sylvan made all the difference in the world! Almost immediately, she was more confident in herself and her school work!"

From the Parents of Justin

"For the first time in [my son's] school career he now has the motivation and self-confidence to tackle his homework assignments by himself -something we never dreamed would occur!"

Lowell and Diane, parents of Eric

"Eric is now in sixth grade and his math skills are up to a seventh grade level. His confidence, grades and attitude have improved. With continued hard work, we know that Eric will be successful throughout his school years. Sylvan has played an important role in that success!"

Michael, grade 7

"Sylvan keeps you on your feet until you can stand by yourself."

Making the grade!

"Sylvan helped my child's reading, math, writing and other skills significantly. My child's general school performance has improved significantly. My child's motivation is significantly improved. My child's attitude has changed significantly. My child's confidence has significantly changed as well. Sylvan is giving our child the confidence to believe that she could achieve the grades she desired. The staff @ Sylvan are professional and excellent mentors for young minds that are working hard to do better. My child enjoys going to Sylvan and loves the people she gets to interact with. I would recommend Sylvan to a friend the moment they asked."

No More Deer-in-theHeadlights Math

"August 2008

Thank you so very much for working with Sandra. Entering 6th grade at a new school with new friends is intimidating enough. Having skills that are below standard just becomes overwhelming.

The staff always made my daughter feel comfortable. They have instilled skills and confidence that my daughter never had before. She is just all around happier, more confident and smiling. The deer-in-the-headlight math is gone!"

- Kathy, Sandra's mom

My son was reading on his own!

"September 2008

Thank you for your support with my son Tony.

Last night we went to Barnes and Noble... and we found his book. He came home and read and read and read, and I found him reading this morning... and he's all hyped up now to find out what happens!! Yahoo!! I think we broke the curse!"

- Cindy, Tony's mom

SAT Results are IN!

"November 14, 2008

The parent of one of our summer SAT students called in this morning. She wanted to let us know that the scores have come in from her son taking the October 2008 SAT, and that his score went up 240 points! They are so happy! They will refer Sylvan to all their friends from school! Oh, and her younger son will be here for SAT Prep next summer!"

- -Jennifer, Associate Director per phone conversation with another satisfied parent

Sad to Be Moving- Glad to Have Been with Sylvan

"To the Dedicated Team at Sylvan:

Thank you so much for a fantastic two years of tutoring. We (especially Celine) will most certainly miss your team of caring, dedicated and enthusiastic tutors! It will take a lot of luck to find a learning center like yours (if you know of any in Long Island, let me know!!)

Thanks again,
Naomi and Celine"
