As most of our students will tell you, Sylvan Learning is a fun place to be. Our warm and caring tutors share a love of teaching and a desire to help your child succeed in school and beyond. Every step of the way, our tutors will be right there with you celebrating your child's success. With so much enthusiam for your child's progress, personal praise and verbal reinforcement comes very naturally to our tutors.

Sylvan builds positive reinforcement into every tutoring program because it results in:

  • Improved motivation
  • Higher self-esteem
  • Stronger skills
  • Better study habits
  • Happier kids and families!

Sylvan makes tutoring fun with our motivational rewards program.

At Sylvan, we'll give your child "tokens" in recognition of hard work, correct answers and good effort. For example, your child might receive a token for reading aloud, solving a tough math problem or applying a composition technique correctly.

Your child will be able to save these tokens for redemption at the center's "Sylvan Store." At the store, your child will be able to choose from a variety of fun prizes - from small toys and games to skateboards and CDs.

By offering real rewards for achievement, including personalized certificates for achieving personal milestones, Sylvan takes a proactive approach to motivating and keeping your child engaged throughout the entire tutoring program. As your child begins to succeed in school, he'll see that learning is its own reward.


At Sylvan, our tutoring programs will build the skills, habits and attitudes your child needs to succeed. Contact us today to learn more!
