Success Stories

Surpassing Expectations

"Sylvan far surpassed my expectations. I was so glad to be able to help my daughter!"

- Parent of student at St. Paul's Episcopal School

Sibling Success

"We have two children at Sylvan. Both have exceeded our expectations in a very short time period. Their classroom teachers say it's working, and we couldn't be happier."

- Parent of student at Bay Farm in Alameda

Getting Ahead

"I love it because I'm way ahead in my class now."

- Student at Piedmont Middle School

What a self-esteem boost!

"Sylvan's specialized attention builds up their self-esteem and my daughter felt good. The staff cared about her and she knew they cared about her, so she felt good about coming."

- Parent of student at Bishop O'Dowd

Sylvan vs. private tutor

"I think Sylvan was able to identify his weaknesses and create a program that helped him in those areas. That was very exciting for us because we had gone to other private tutors and they seem to not be able to understand what his needs were or were only really able to help him with his homework. Thank you, Sylvan!!!"

- Parent of student at Montera Middle School

Writing and homework have gotten better!

"His focus on homework has been much greater. He is taking it seriously. He is writing full paragraphs instead of simple sentences. I highly recommend it. Sylvan is a great program."

- Parent of student at Montclair Elementary

Thank you for Algebra homework help for my highschool boys!

"Both of my boys are wonderful, but they really struggling with math. My youngest was struggling in Algebra 1 and my oldest in Algebra 2/Trig. We do not have the math abilities to help them at home--I took Algebra so long ago! We took them to Sylvan, and it was just so easy to get the help they needed to study for test, get their homework done, and brush them up a bit. I don't think either of them would have passed without Sylvan. Thanks!"
