Customer Testimonials
My daughter enjoys Sylvan very much. I have noticed a big change on her test scores
The personal attention you give to both the student and the parents regarding the areas of concern and the flexible hours of operation.
Nice people, proper place, location and environment for kid to study.
Good and reliable system to send kid to learn and evaluate the development.
My daughter like to come here and learn more and more.
You go above and beyond to help the student such as contacting teachers and getting their input for the full picture. You test their learning style so you know how to tutor them.
I like the relaxed atmosphere and the kids like the feel of a down to earth person teaching a teacher behind you waiting to punish you for that mistake. that statement was from my 16 yr. old daughter and confirmed by my 14 yr. old son that attend the Sylvan center in Salinas Calif. on Davis Rd. Carrie has been very instrumental in my teens learn problems.
Love the staff and what my child has gotten out of this experience. Only good positive reinforcement of study habits and learning can be fun. Her self esteem has gotten even more confident and I'm excited as a parent to see my child at the 9th grade level looking forward to and planning on going to college. Very exciting and Sylvan has been a part of that.

personable. organized
The people that work there are wonderful. I feel comfortable and my child's experience has been nothing but positive, from her attitude about learning and her improved grades at school.
The one on one attention for my child... williness to go to his school and talk to his teachers and help me get everyone on track to help my son. Also for helping my child gain confidence in his reading. He would not be where he is in his reading if it were not for all the help Sylvan has supplied.
Tutors and all staff are very welcoming and supportive. Staff get to know your child's unique learning needs.
I like the feedback and good communication about the progress the student is making.
The director tries to meet monthly with the parents. The tutor also communicates well
with the student and sends home a slip of paper reporting the behavior and progress
of the student for that session. It is also easy to communicate with everyone at Sylvan
through emails. Good communication is very important to keep a student focused and to
promote success.
The staff and teachers are committed to my child. They have worked to meet the needs of my schedule and have often accommodated me when there were changes. They make learning fun and easy.
I like the student to teacher ratio. I especially like the customized care and concern the faculty has for each student.
That I can see results in my childs academic performance!
The teachers and staff have been great! The improvement in skills and confidence my children have gained makes a world of difference in their ability to improve and excel in their education; which, in turn, will have a lasting, positive impact on their futures! Without a core, basic foundation it is difficult or next to impossible to build and expand ones knowledge. Sylvan provides this key foundation so that each student is ensured the ability to attain the proper foundation needed to build and expand their knowledge, resulting in better grades and overall education! You wouldn't build a house without a solid foundation....that's what Sylvan provides and more!
The personal interaction between parent, student and Sylvan representative ensures that there is clear communication and understanding of the student's educational needs.

My daughter felt like a teacher was not lerking over her shoulder and enjoyed the pressure free feeling.
