Kelsey's Mom

"As I am in the grocery store, my cell phone rings and it's Kelsey's teacher. She is beside herself with excitement and shares with me that Kelsey scored a 205 on her OAKS math test and meets the math standard. Needless to say we are thrilled and so proud of Kelsey and her hard work. It goes without saying that we are Sylvan fans and thank all of you for your hard work and dedication to your students."

A Happy Eugene Parent

"I would like to express my appreciation for all your assistance over this past year. We have watched our daughter go from feeling frustrated and discouraged with math, to excelling with an A+ grade in the subject. She did so well, that she was recently nominated to represent her school in the Math Competition and they came in 2nd place! That is quite and accomplishment, particularly for a student who once struggled through each day in math!

The attentiveness, caring and encouragement at Sylvan, has made an incredible difference for our daughter. She is more confident and eager to do as well as she can in school. The positive reinforcement of Sylvan has made a difference in every area of her school work!

Thank you again, we look forward to seeing you again in the fall!"

- Barbara a parent of a 14 year old daughter

Excited About Learning

"The staff is wonderful! My son looks forward to his sessions and always leaves the center feeling "on top of the world". It's the first time he has enjoyed learning, especially a subject that he never liked before! He wanted to know if Sylvan has their own private school that he could attend full time. Our family is very happy that we called Sylvan."

A Happy High School Parent and Student

"Connie:

Chris graduated on Sunday! I am happy and excited for him. He made it through
math, much to your tutor's credit. I only wish we had come for the help sooner.

I thank you for your help and cheery voice whenever I called. I am impressed
with Sylvan and your employees. My Chris enjoyed working with your tutor. Many thanks to him, as well.

- Mrs. B of Sheldon High School

Past Sylvan Student

"I want to thank you for all the help and patience you have showed me when I was a student at Sylvan. I am now a junior in high school. Last year as a sophomore I made 3 out of 4 honor rolls and this year I am doing great! I am getting college pamphlets from all over. I believe I am going to major in child education. I have grown up a lot since you have last seen me. I still have the trophy I got from graduating at Sylvan.

I just wanted to take this time to thank you for not forgetting about me. I look forward to getting letters from you every year. I am doing so great in math now it’s unbelievable. I want to thank everyone who helped me.  I can’t tell you how much they have changed and inspired me all through the years. It’s because of them, I am who I am today and who I am going to be when I go to college and graduate, as a teacher. I want to touch lives as you have touched mine.

"

A BIG THANK YOU

"To All The Sylvan Teachers;

We want to say a BIG THANK YOU to each and everyone of you that worked with our son over the summer and the beginning of the school year. You were all so POSITIVE and helpful in teaching our son math. His confidence in himself and math skills increased tremendously. If our son could have his way, he would come to Sylvan everyday all year long. :)"

- Mark and Heidi

A Big Thanks to Connie and Sylvan

"I just wanted to let you know how much I have appreciated the effort and the willingness that you have shown to work with our son to accomplish unbelievable results. From day one we knew that Sylvan and the staff are committed to the intellectual growth and well being of our son.
Like I have told you in the past, we struggled with the public school system for years. As parents we have always been involved with our kids and in constant communication with the educators. we always listened and did what they recommended. After several years of this we watched our son just keep falling behind further and further. It almost seemed like they would just lower the bar to pacify us. as parents we knew we had to do something and it needed to happen quick. It was the summer before my sons junior year in high school and he was several grade levels behind. That is when we discovered Sylan and its wonderful staff. You guys were able to accomplish more with my son in the last three months than the public school system and the I.E.P. programs did in the last four years. in just a short time he will be at grade level. he is in main stream classes now and doing wonderful.
We just wanted to tell you once again how much we have appreciated all that Sylvan and its wonderful staff has done for us, and how much it has made a difference in our son's life.
