Sylvan in the Community
Study Centers at Kennedy Park, Riverton Park, and Sagamore Village - Portland, ME
January 17th, 2011
* Sylvan Learning Center of South Portland donated prizes to over 40 students who participated in this year’s Martin Luther King Jr. essay contest. This writing contest required students to write about how they might overcome the barriers and struggles they face in life. Some students chose to identify positive and negative aspects of their community and ways to improve the situation. Others wrote about their goals and how to reach them. Others described how discrimination and prejudice affect their community. Sylvan employees attended the Kennedy Park Study Center’s Open House where they were able to hear the students read their essays out loud in front of peers and other community members. A great time was had by all.
* Sylvan has also donated an online tutoring program known as www.sylvanmathprep.com to each of the Study Centers. This online program provides tutoring in Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and SAT/ACT prep. It includes short video modules that actually teach kids how to do the concepts then gives them sample tests and sample problems to make sure they understand what they have just learned. The site is also linked to the most popular math books used in today's classrooms. So, a student can search for his or her math book online, type in the page numbers they are working on, and watch instructional videos on the concepts they have for homework. It is an excellent tool for homework help.
