I approached Sylvan with some skepticism, doubtful that it could have the effects claimed by their advertising. However, I am no longer skeptical! My daughter had struggled with reading for years. Hours with private tutors showed little overall improvement during her lower school years. The improvement in less than a year of Sylvan has been dramatic, with her reading comprehension increasing five grade levels. Her success at Sylvan has increased her confidence and she now takes schoolwork much more seriously, wanting to do as well as possible rather than feeling that she was not smart enough to do well. Sylvan?s structured approach; ongoing feedback, reward systems, and carefully planned curriculum have all worked for her. After years and thousands of dollars for tutoring that did not work, this has been a gift in our lives.
Pros: Great staff, convenient hours
Cons: None!
