Customer Testimonials
My daughter loved the location and teachers. Shes enjoyed the tokens for prizes and even made friends.
Very flexible and consistent. Highly recommend
Russell understands the children’s academic struggles and tackle them by slowly building up their confidence through Sylvan’s effective and measurable teaching system/mechanism. It worked great for our son who has gained his confidence in many aspects, inside and outside classrooms. Russell’s warm, relaxing and supportive demeanour has made our journey with Sylvain a great experience. We will strongly recommend Sylvan in Comox Valley to any family in need of academic support.

When my oldest started gr 5, he was behind in math. We started at Sylvan, and he lived it. They are so supportive and positive! He caught up and even started to reach ahead and was doing great 7 math by the end of the year! He loved it so much, his brother was jealous and started the math reach ahead program. They really focus on building confidence and are great at communicating their progress through the program. I honestly can't speak highly enough about this program and the people running it in Guelph, I recommend them all the time!!!
Very supportive, knowledgeable program!
Tutors were engaging and helpful in getting my son to the next level of success
The teachers were great and my sons enjoyed his time there.
Grandson is reading better after just a few weeks at Sylvan.
Cody's been really good for my family. He can manage several children, of various ages, keeping all engaged and productive. I send my two oldest there, and they get along well with Cody, and find him funny and motivating. I personally get along really well with Cody, as he helps me work around my work schedule as well as my children's schedules, which I find extremely valuable. The Findlay Sylvan center is welcoming and organized.
My grandson has been attending Sylvan Learning Center for almost a year now, and we can truly see a big difference in his reading skills and confidence.
From the very beginning, the staff took the time to test and evaluate him so they could understand exactly where he needed support.
I really appreciate receiving monthly updates on his progress because it allows us to see how much he is learning and improving.
We are so pleased with the progress he has made since starting at Sylvan Learning Center. It has been wonderful watching his reading skills continue to grow.
A special thank you to Mr. Anthony and Mrs. Wright for your patience, dedication, and support. We truly appreciate everything you have done to help my grandson succeed!
My daughter has truly thrived since starting at Sylvan. She genuinely enjoys going, and they’ve done an amazing job catering to her learning style. She’s made real progress in bridging gaps that were missing for years, and it’s been incredible watching her confidence grow little by little. We plan to continue with Sylvan throughout high school because it’s been such a strong support for her academically.
The ladies at Sylvan are awesome. Very professional, very easy to talk to and they are always available and willing to answer any questions we may have about the kids and their progress.

My kids love the atmosphere, they enjoy their teachers and feel excited about learning. We love going there.
While it is hard to get our son out the door to go to tutoring at Sylvan he always has a good experience there. His writing has consistently improved. The tutors make the time there fun and engaging.
Sylvan has helped both my boys with Reading and Mathematics.
Their flexible payment options are great. They are great with scheduling times and are always communicating with me about the schedule.
They are always professional.
My youngest is there right now and he isn't a big fan of school, however every time he goes to Sylvan he walks out happy and with a story to share on his improvements. The constant feedback for my son and myself is also appreciated.
The Midland, MI location is very easy to work with for scheduling. Maggie keeps parents updated on kids progress.
I had the most wonderful experience with my daughter at Sylvan Center over the summer. Ms. Venisha is not only an amazing person, but also a wonderful teacher and genuinely caring human being. My daughter and I feel so blessed to have her in our lives, and we are absolutely going back to her.
Ms. Paula, who worked with my daughter throughout the summer, is equally amazing. I truly cannot say enough about how grateful I am that I found Ms. Venisha’s Sylvan Center.
The experience was genuinely life-changing for both my daughter and me. Continuing tutoring throughout the summer made such a difference for my daughter. When she entered first grade this year, she was so much more confident and academically prepared because of everything she had learned and practiced over the summer.
I am incredibly grateful for the support, encouragement, and care that Ms. Venisha and Ms. Paula gave my daughter. I would wholeheartedly recommend this Sylvan Center to any parent, and we will definitely, definitely be back!
High quality instructors and flexible scbecule
Great owner/director who listens to our concerns and answers all the questions. Wonderful teachers who help our daughter.
My experience was the best! They communicated well. They showed me that they cared about my daughter’s success. They always helped me when I couldn’t log on to update the schedule. I would defiantly recommend them to any parent that has a child that needs a little extra help.
My daughter and son both love going, my son uses your homework help. And my daughter is in the full program. She began there in May 2026 and was a level 3 in reading and writing. We have done 2 hours a week since then and I am overjoyed by the results. Sylvan has her reading and writing at her grade level by middle of September 2026. The results were fast and I could see improvement almost immediately. I have told many people about sylvan and will continue too
Sylvan has made such a meaningful difference in my child’s life, not only academically but emotionally as well. Math had become an area where she struggled, and over time, those struggles began to affect her confidence. She started to doubt herself and believe that she simply wasn’t good at math.
Through Sylvan, she was given the individualized attention, patience, and encouragement she needed to truly understand the concepts rather than simply memorize how to get an answer. As her understanding improved, so did her confidence. She began approaching math with less frustration and more willingness to try, even when something was difficult.
One of the biggest changes we have seen is that she no longer defines herself by what she struggles with. She is learning that it’s okay not to know something right away and that with practice, patience, and the right support, she can figure it out. Watching her confidence come back has been just as rewarding as seeing her improve in math.
My child is making fast progress and learning a lot beyond the school curriculum. When it comes to scheduling and requests, Yousef is very easy to talk to and highly accommodating, and the same goes for the tutors.
Their passionate and take their time with the students so they can learn
Every week our daughter has made progress and we are extremely grateful!
Friendly management and tutors, clean and quiet space, well organized and scheduled lesson times.
Excellent staff! Our son has been attending for two months and I’m already seeing progress in his reading.
Great experience for my son so far. He really enjoys his tutor and is learning a lot. As a parent, everyone has been helpful and friendly.
Ms Kay and her team has helped my daughter gain knowledge that was missed in previous grades. She is passing all of her classes.
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Sylvan Learning Center! The staff is friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in helping students succeed. The instructors are patient, encouraging, and do a great job explaining concepts in a way that makes learning easier and more enjoyable.
We’ve seen a noticeable improvement in confidence, understanding, and overall academic performance. I especially appreciate how the team takes the time to understand each student’s individual needs and provides personalized support.
I highly recommend Sylvan Learning Center to any parent looking for extra academic support. It’s been a great investment in our child’s education, and we’re very happy with the experience!
Excellent. He had fun as usual and got to get ready for 4th grade to avoid the summer slide.

Great teachers and business is run well.
