Customer Testimonials
My son has been going to Sylvan for tutoring for the last month and a half. In his recent assessment at school he has gone up a whole grade level. The teacher was very impressed! He was very excited to tell us. He feels very encouraged and has built his confidence.
Best service!!!
The teachers seem to be very tentative to my kid as he always come home saying he had a good time at tutoring today.
So far, my child has a positive learning experience from tutors there.
Experienced Director and staff
Friendly staff
Setting individualized goals for Kids
Kids feel motivated by the Director Mr Anthony Thomas and his staff.
I appreciate that the our daughter is learning. Ìfé is gaining confidence in her ability to complete math problems independently. Thank you!
Sylvan is a great place for both students who are behind in their grade level and those who would like to get ahead. The problem with getting too ahead though is aligning the curriculum with a public school education where the child will continue to learn material at their academic grade level. What’s nice about Sylvan is the monthly reports to understand how your child is doing. They are very good about redirecting focus in problem area sooner than you even notice at their primary school setting. My kids enjoy Sylvan a lot.
Anthony Thomas. Anthony is what makes Sylvan Piedmont great and why we are there. He is thoughtful about his recommendations and takes the time to explain what programs your child could benefit from. He is also flexible and makes sure it is a pleasant experience for both the kids AND parents.
Sylvan of Castro Valley has been very gracious and kind to allow my son (who has social disability) to receive tutoring lessons despite the fact that he is already 25. We very much appreciate that someone cares enough for my son to do well and pass his Math class. Today, he is doing very well and has been getting the help that he needs. His tutor is really patient and kind and he is learning a lot and able to follow his Math class well. I am grateful for Sylvan has been a blessing.
Our daughter has been going to Sylvan for 3 years now,Freshman, Sphonore and now Junior years in HS. She has consistently attended one hour per week, mostly focusing on math. We love the level of expertise and knowledge base the tutors are required to have. She gets to work with the same tutor each week which is very helpful. Her grades in math have stayed in the B and B+ area, great progress for her as she is dyslexic and some subjects take longer to catch onto. We prepaid all the hours she caould ever need and if and when she needs more than one hour per week, the staff will step up and work her in. We’re very satisfied with the high quality support she receives at Sylvan and recommend it to any child for expert support in any subject.
Our daughter showed academic improvement, independence, and felt more confident doing her work with Sylvan's help.
You did an excellent job getting my son ready for Middle School Math.
Kids love to be there and learn. Thank you for work for my kids, and help they success

My child enjoys learning at sylvan at his own pace. He’s excited and eager to discover his passion for learning with the help of sylvan staff and curriculum that allow him to be positively rewarded for his efforts and supported if he is struggling.
The student teacher ratio is great, allowing each child to get the right amount of help they need from the tutor. The tokens are also fun for the children as incentives. Very convenient location as well. Their main focus is your child's success!
Scheduling for an appointment and lessons are easy.
That you delivered on the goals set for our learning program. Well done thank you Sylvan
We love Sylvan. We attend three days a week. Both our kids are always eager to go--perhaps its the i-Pad or the reward token system, but they work. They are excelling! It is well worth it, whether your kid is behind in their grade level or need more challenging work. I hardly ever get a complaint from our kids about going.
My daughter really feels confident now. The tutors have her attention and the team is responsive.
What I absolutely love about this school is that they absolutely deliver exactly what they say they're going to. The ultimate customer service
