Review content:
Want some good advice? Do not waste your money!! My son (5th grade) wanted help in math. We are not very good with the Everyday Math Program used in WB and Kewaskum, so we turned to Sylvan. After testing, we were told that he needed help in math and reading. We were shocked at a 63% reading level. We knew math was a struggle, but reading was a strong point. I discussed the Everday Math Program and we were assurred that they could help him. After signing up and taking over $3200 out of savings for half (yes half) of the program, my son was told that he might do math one way at school, but he has to do it Sylvan's way when he is there. He was so confused that we had to stop the math portion altogether. His teacher couldn't believe he needed help in reading so I brought her the testing results. We had a meeting with the Director of Sylvan and his team of teachers. It was brought out that he is in the 63% on an 8th grade level. My son is in 5th grade! I have since had a progress meeting and was told that my son is the only child that has not been able to transition from Sylvan to school. No offense, but I could care less about any other childs ability to transition. She believed Sylvan could still help him. She called it Homework Support. He should bring his math homework in to do at Sylvan. Excuse me!?! For $3200 I think I can help him with his homework! Not to mention by helping him, I know where his weaknesses are. If this doesn't make you think twice, please take this advice. Get Things in Writing!! If your child needs help in math, make sure you get it in writing that they will work with him/her in the format they learn at school. BE SPECIFIC in your writing. Sylvan in West Bend does not use the Everyday Math program used in the public schools!!! They will still tell you that they can help. Please don't be fooled like we were. If your elementary child needs help in reading, do Hooked on Phonics. Buy the Everdyay Math per Google search
Pros: Experts at taking your hard earned money!
Cons: Way too expensive. No growth noticed by parents or teachers
