So far my daughter has been having a good experience when tutoring for math with Sylvan.
Her tutor is patient and explains all steps clearly. I begin to see her progress in the math class and better scoring on math tests.
Good so far. Grandson Mason is more confident and learning the basics.
It’s exciting to be able to see the growth in my child’s writing in such a short period of time. It makes me so excited to see him take what he has learned from sylvan and use it in the classroom. So excited and can’t wait to see each milestone he reaches in his writing journey.
We found Sylvan by doing some online research to help our 8 year old twins with reading. They have only had 18 sessions and have progressed so much. We are very Happy and would recommend them to anyone that has a child that’s struggling. The staff is very friendly and helpful, we couldn’t ask for anything more.
We started Sylvan over the summer to help our soon to be 5th grader avoid the summer slump, and hopefully start to catch up in reading and math. Kiddo has an IEP, and had been struggling more as they've been approaching middle school. Truthfully, kiddo doesn't want to go to tutoring, but also doesn't seem to mind going, and jumps out of the car and heads in cheerfully each session. They provide a positive environment and incentives to continue to stay focused during each session. We waited to write a review until the middle of the school year to evaluate progress based on Sylvan evaluations, standardized school tests, and reflection from kiddos teachers. All are in agreement; kiddo didn't lose as much ground as last summer, standardized tests show more improvement over this fall than last fall, and teachers are in agreement that there's been a shift in confidence - kiddo is more confident, and more engaged than last year. Our biggest challenge is that this is EXPENSIVE, and the financing is a real challenge for our family, but we've used their zero-interest loan options to continue through this academic year, because it's making a real difference, and we know how important kiddos education is. We asked kiddo to include their review, below, so you know the child's perspective.
From kiddo, in 5th grade: Sylvan is helping me to do better at school. I like the word games, and sometimes I like the reading. It was easy when I first went there, and it's easier now, but I'm doing harder work. I hope that I can get all the tokens so that I can get more prizes! My favorite prize so far that I wanted was a stuffie boba, but someone else got it first, so now I want the snake. If I work hard, I can get more tokens!
Our experience has exceeded all of my expectations. My daughter has specific learning needs and Sylvan takes the time to understand and meet her where she’s at. This isn’t worksheets and supervision, it’s hands on instruction and personalized lesson selection. Every teacher my daughter has had so far; Deven, LuAnn and Kyle, have been amazing. She loves the motivation station where she gets to redeem earned tokens for prizes. She leaves with the biggest smile on her face and asks me when she goes back! Academically, after only a few sessions I am already seeing an improvement in her math! Liset took her time to explain my daughter’s assessment results and answered all of my questions. She gave experienced advice that I needed. Madison and Jonadel make my daughter feel welcomed and comfortable, from the first day assessment to now. Thank you, Sylvan :)
my grandson has attended tutoring at Sylvan 3 times since he's been in school.
He is now getting help with highschool geometry, Sylvan is filling in the gaps in his elementary education and he informs me that the tutoring he's receiving now is
definitely helping in his classwork and his understanding of the subject matter.
When we started Sylvan, my daughter absolutely refused to talk to us about her math homework. Her school was saying she was showing an uncooperative attitude, but I knew it was because her foundational skills were lacking and she did not want to admit that it was beyond her. Last night she let me keep her on track as she worked through her assigned homework sheet. That would be triumph enough -- but even though it was challenging for her, I saw she was so much more confident. She was able to find which problems she'd already solved might serve as building blocks for harder problems, and she was open to the idea that if she stayed focused and thought through the more difficult problems, she just might figure them out. (Which she did!). Thank you Sylvan! Let's keep going!
My kids enjoy attending, and the teachers are nice. The tuition may be on the high end, but it is worth it when the kids are able to get back on track or get ahead educationally.
Every person I’ve interacted with has been extremely knowledgeable and helpful. From my start with Lizette to my recent check in with Vanessa. This has been a challenge for us financially and with regard to having very busy schedules but the team at Sylvan Piedmont has helped ease the burden with their professionalism and obvious care for my child.
Alcee has already improved so much with his match skills after only a short time. We’re very happy with our decision to go with Sylvan.
Our daughter is learning math she didn’t get at school and enjoys her time at Sylvan. It’s a win when we don’t have to force her to go!
Tutors are great, everyone in the office are very profesional and responsive. I would definitely recommend Piedmont Sylvan to friends and family.
Great experience so far we have been at Sylvan for about 3months and my child looks forward to going. Child is not only enjoying the tutoring but retaining the information.
I am very happy
My daughter doesn’t seem to mind going for the 2 hours on a Friday afterschool. Her day is quite long and she has yet to complain. That speaks volumes.
Great staff. My daughter is thrilled to come to the center
My son is doing a reading program with Sylvan and he absolutely loves it. He just turned 5 so he’s on the younger side but his teachers have all been really patient and great with him. Can’t recommend Sylvan enough for kindergarten readiness. There is so much for them to learn ahead of formally starting school and I think the Sylvan program is extremely beneficial for us. He’s learning kindergarten prep but he’s also learning how to work with kids in a small group, how to take instruction from a teacher, be independent, and how to earn things. The reward based learning is very motivating for my son. We love Sylvan!
My child really likes Sylvan. I like Sylvan for her and I am hoping for the best.
Love the personnalisation of the program.
Love the flexibility. Tutors and administrators care about my child success .
My son is in kindergarten and has had trouble reading, he enjoys going to Sylvan and says he is “learning the sounds” so he can read.
It is too good. My daughter loved it and and never said that she doesn’t want to go . I see progress in her school . Highly recommended ❤️❤️❤️.
So far, my son loves Sylvan. He is actually learning fast and able to comprehend the material he reads better. He now attempts to spell words on his own without actually saying “ oh! It’s hard! I can’t spell!” As a parent, I’m very pleased to see him learn and grow and becoming more confident.
My son has grown so much in the short time he’s been here.
