Happy Area Mom

"We previously tried Kuman and a private tutor, but neither were successful in the same way you have been at Sylvan. He was bored at Kumon doing repetitive worksheets and hated to go. The daily work was a fight as it started below his level. We did not even make it a month before we dropped out.

Using the private tutor was fine, but I did not see any gains in three months of weekly tutoring.

I like that each session has a focus on word problems because I feel that is the most important concept of math rather than the rote memory of math facts. My son loves to come to Sylvan and leaves happy. His math grades started to improve immediately after he started and he brought his math grade up one letter grade during the quarter (from a C- to a B-). While I know many parents would not be happy with a B-, we are thrilled at one letter grade improvement in less than one month. His math papers were C, D and F before Sylvan and A and A- after we started - I can show you the evidence in the Power School grade book. It took a lot of As to bring the grade up one letter! His confidence is up in math already and the teacher commented several times already with a Sunday night email that said "Andrew is doing the best that he has all year. I rarely, if ever, have to redirect his focus. He is happy, participating nicely, friendly and doing good work on top of it all. He is not taking undue time in any of his work either."

I know Sylvan is not inexpensive (especially when we are already paying for a private school), but our child's education is one of the most important legacy that we leave for them. The confidence gained now at 2nd/3rd grade math will positively impact his future academic career.

Happy Sylvan parent!

Central Illinois Mom says Sylvan Very Helpful

"The staff is really helpful and knowledgeable. I have heard very positive remarks in the community about the Sylvan program. I am glad that we picked Sylvan to help our daughter"

Sylvan Responsive to Need!

"I tried to find a tutor in the middle of the semester and heard "no room" from many people. When I called Sylvan after hours I got a call back within a couple of hours of opening the next day with many time options offered. The tutor is very knowledgeable and has been very helpful. My son has learned a lot in a short time."
