Customer Testimonials
The teachers, their energy, their ability to work with my son and make learning fun is AMAZING!!!
The tutors at Sylvan are fantastic, personable, and devoted to helping children learn and supporting the parents in the teaching journey.
A well run tutoring center. It’s easy to communicate with Christiana and Kim. They answer their emails promptly and adjust the tutoring session the same day.
Their service has been a huge help to our grandson.
Both Vhtistana and Kim are lovely people!
We could not be happier with our daughter’s experience at Sarasota Sylvan Learning Center. From the moment she started, the teachers created a warm, encouraging environment that made learning fun and confidence-building. Their individualized approach zeroed in on her specific needs — particularly in reading and math — and within just a few months, we saw measurable improvement in her grades, classroom participation, and attitude toward schoolwork.
The instructors are exceptional: patient, upbeat, and incredibly skilled at breaking down concepts in ways she actually understands and remembers. They consistently went above and beyond, providing clear progress updates, practical strategies for home reinforcement, and creative lessons that kept her engaged. Beyond academics, her study habits and self-confidence have grown tremendously.
We wholeheartedly recommend Sarasota Sylvan Learning Center to any family looking for real academic results delivered with compassion and expertise. The team there has been a true partner in our daughter’s success.
All of the staff is super friendly and welcoming. Both of my boys really enjoy it and we look forward to many years to come.
My children really enjoy coming. With the school year starting, I am unsure of progress but is certainly a big win that they do not mind coming.
My son is so happy every time he goes to Sylvan! He was struggling with spelling and it was affecting his self-esteem. But Sylvan builds him up and it's helping him learn. I've already recommended Sylvan to others and will continue doing so.
Our son had fallen behind in public schools due to some personal issues as well as many of the difficulties children faced during COVID. After trying several different options we found Sylvan learning. Our son has been doing much better since attending Sylvan’s home school program. We strongly recommend anyone whose child is struggling with public or private school to consider this option. The teachers are absolutely amazing!!
They work specifically with my son and his needs. They also work with me and my concerns. My son is thriving at Sylvan!
I have referred 5 families. That says it all! Thank you for what you do.
We have had a great experience.
David is thriving and he really likes his teachers. 
Only thing is that on Fridays, he seems to be done about 8 min early before time. 
Hoping he can get his full hour.

We’ve been attending Sylvan Learning Center for a few months now, as part of our home-school curriculum, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the progress both of my boys have made! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming and genuinely interested in understanding our children's individual learning needs.
My older son, who struggles with writing, has seen a significant improvement in his confidence in developing his writing skills. It's clear that Sylvan is committed to not only improving academic performance but also fostering a love for learning.

Hello, we are very happy with Sylvan thus far. So much so that we know personally of three families (four students) that are now enrolled with our location. I just passed the center details to a fourth family, and our son has one other referral he has made:) Any chance there is a referral credit program in place?
