""Thanks are extended to Sylvan for giving Pallas the tools that she needed to succeed in reading and learning. Since Pallas started at Sylvan, I've witnessed a huge difference in her approach to reading and to learning. Like many families, I am a single mom working full time, and one on one time with Pallas is precious. Reading time at home is no longer a battle like it used to be. Now, reading time is our "together time"; a time when we can both relax and talk and read and enjoy being together. Pallas grows more confident each day in Language Arts and Math. When confronted with difficult words and problems, Pallas faces the challenge with a new energy. Her class participation has also improved, and Pallas is now a team player. Pallas is proud to share her stories about how she raised her hand in class to answer questions, or, when asked by her teacher, she likes to tell me about standing in front of the class to recite her times tables. I can see Pallas no longer feels shy and intimidated when asked to participate in classroom activities. Thank you for making me feel very connected with Pallas's progress even though I am working full time. Sylvan's parent conferences keep me tuned in to my daughter's learning, and sends a strong positive message to Pallas that I care and that her progress in learning is important to me.  Pallas immediately fell into sync with Sylvan's method of teaching. She likes and trusts her instructors, and there is no struggle to go to weekly classes. My mind is at ease knowing she is at your facility with caring staff. Thanks to everyone at Sylvan for all that you have done for my family. Especially, thank you to Sylvan for providing Pallas with the learning tools to build her own bridge to a bright future.""

""My son Simon was having difficulty at school. The feedback I got from his teacher was that some days he was co-operative and other days, not. The teacher was unable to pinpoint the actual problem, which made it hard for me as his parent to focus on a particular area to assist his growth and development. When I questioned the teacher further, all I understood was that he was underachieving for his standard.
One session with Sylvan changed all of this. After the assessment we were able to see exactly where Simon's strengths and weaknesses were. What was very disturbing is that he had been running behind in the area of comprehension for about three years and no one had picked it up. Since Simon has been with Sylvan his marks have come up and he has improved all round in his academics. He is more confident generally and has actually started setting goals for himself, which he had never even contemplated before. I can truly say this was the best decision I ever made and I am so glad we found the problem when we did.""

Sylvan works!

"When my daughter Ashley started at Sylvan last year, she was assessed by the school at being almost 2 full grades behind. Ashley was suffering from anxiety over math and it was affecting every aspect of her life. After a few hours with Sylvan, we saw an extreme change in her for the better. No more anxiety and she was starting to feel "smarter" as she put it. Gradually, after 36 hours of tutoring with Sylvan, Ashley's grades began to climb and her confidence level in every day life improved immensely.

Today, Ashley is a totally different child. She no longer complains about school and math homework, instead, she really likes school now and even enjoys math. I would highly recommend Sylvan to anyone who is struggling with their studies or just wants to get ahead."

""The service at Sylvan is highly professional. I think their assessments play an important role in how to develop a personal plan for each student. I am really grateful that they offer this service before beginning the tutoring sessions.""
