For more than 30 years, Sylvan has helped more than two million students learn to read, write, calculate and organize themselves to reach their potential inside and outside of the classroom. More importantly, Sylvan has helped children develop a love of learning and a confidence that they carry throughout their lives.

Help your child catch up, keep up or get ahead

Most students — regardless of their academic performance — can use extra help to achieve their full learning potential in one or more key subjects. At Sylvan, we offer a choice of quality tutoring programs to help students improve overall. Our proven process begins with a Sylvan Skills Assessment test that is designed to identify your child's strengths and needs, so that we can then create a personalized program that's right for your child. Our trained and certified teachers ensure that your child receives the individualized attention necessary to master the skills needed to do better in school and better in life.

Sylvan is more than tutoring.

Every Sylvan Learning Center is a centerpiece to the community and surrounding neighborhoods. At Sylvan, we are committed to being good neighbors and valued partners in the communities in which we live and work. Our more than 900 local centers are proud to work in conjunction with our local school systems and neighborhood organizations to create educational initiatives that benefit children for life.
