Success Stories

Math Hurdles

"Erik and Heather really helped me through my math hurdles- one "easy" step at a time. Now my math grades match my other A's and B's!"

- Jennifer

ACT Prep worked for me

"Sylvan's ACT Prep class helped me raise my score and get into U of I!"

- David

Sylvan Helped Make The Difference

"Sylvan helped our son bring his reading comprehension skills up to grade level after he fell behind toward the end of the school year. Over the summer he attended Sylvan every week and developed the skills needed for a strong beginning to the new school year. He has always been interested in school but really benefited from the one-on-one attention he received from his teachers at Sylvan. I highly recommend Sylvan to any family that is interested in reinforcing their child's education between school year's."

- Ralph DeStefano (Sylvan Parent)

Sylvan Teacher & Sylvan Mom

"I am a Sylvan teacher as well as a parent of a Sylvan student. I love teaching the programs because of the rapid success developed in the students! It is fulfilling to see the goals accomplished and the self esteem grow. My son enjoys the program because it really challenges him when he needs it, or slows down to encourage his understanding when he needs that!"

- Shelly

Academic Reading & Advanced Reading Skills

"Thank you Sylvan, and all the instructors. I enjoyed my time there, and it takes me half the time to do my homework now!!!!!"

- Darin F. (Sylvan Student)

Study Skills Student

"While teaching one evening I had a high school student say, "I've come a long way. There was a time when I didn't even know what notes were." She really has come a long way with her note taking skills! We were both really excited about this!"

- Kim (Sylvan Teacher)

Great Castle of Knowledge

"There stands Sylvan, now as the great castle of learning. This is where the evils of math and science are slain by the guardians of knowledge willing to teach newcomers their knowledge and wisdom so soon they also will triumph over the hardship of learning."

- Brandon H. (Sylvan Student)

Sylvan Study Skills

"I just wanted to say thank you for helping me when I was there. It was a great experience and I learned a lot. All of the teachers are very helpful!!"

- Jenny S. (Sylvan Student)

Sylvan Study Skills

"My daughter is doing wonderful in school now that she's completed the Sylvan Study Skills program! She now has a 3.2 g.p.a. and is interested in going on to college!"

- Teri F. (Sylvan Parent)

Sylvan Academic Reading

"We were at our wits end with Anthony's academic complications. Then, we went to Sylvan and within the first month we saw great improvement. This improvement helped Anthony develop greater confidence which lead to his improvement in many domains. We strongly recommend Sylvan to other parents that find themselves in the same situation. Now our son has been given back his options to pursue whatever endeavors the future may hold."

- Dana T. (Sylvan Parent)

Sylvan ACT Prep

"After attending Sylvan's ACT Prep class, our daughter went up from a 24 to a 30 in English, a 25 to a 26 in Math, and a 29 to a 31 in Reading! She received a $15,000 merit scholarship for college! Thanks Sylvan!"

- Martha C. (Sylvan Parent)

Sylvan Academic Reading

"Our son came to Sylvan when he was in middle school. We are so glad we took advantage of the services offered by Sylvan when we did. High School seems like a breeze now. Thanks!"

- Deb and Scott F. (Sylvan Parents)
