Success Stories

My child chose to read!

"Recently, I was cooking dinner and my son picked up a book on his own and started reading out loud with no assistance or prompting from anyone. He CHOSE to read and he was reading on his own without struggling. He has always struggled. I started crying in the kitchen as he was reading by himself. I knew that was because of Sylvan."

- Michelle, Current Sylvan Parent

Sylvan is Magic

"I don't know what magic they have at Sylvan, but my son is a completely different child. He is asking to read harder books. He recently ran for student council and wrote a speech on his own. He would have never done that before his Sylvan programs. I wish we had come to Sylvan first before all the other methods we tried."

- DeeAnn, Current Sylvan Parent

Increased confidence and better relationships

"[My child] used to be angry even during regular conversations. He would put up a fight on any kind of reading or word problems. Now he is more open and we have regular conversations. His confidence is completely different. Our relationship with each other has changed so much."

- Missy, December 2011 Parent

Such an Improvement!

"My son has absolutely improved since starting his program. His reading fluency has improved. He remembers words better. Now he is memorizing and retaining his vocabulary. The biggest improvement has been his ability to sound out words on his own. His confidence is much improved as well."

- Ginger, December 2011 Parent

Sylvan went above and beyond.

"Sylvan of Columbia, MO went beyond the focus of their mission and reached out to the total person who was in their care. It was an unusual situation that took extraordinary people. Thank you, Jill and all those who cared."
