My 7 year old son needed help in reading comprehension, and his speech therapist recommended him to send Sylvan. This is his 3rd month going there and we have seen great improvement in his reading and understanding. Great staff at Bell Rd location

Our daughter is right at the age where she turns 5 after the school year starts, but could test to start kindergarten early. We brought her into Sylvan to help her gain some confidence in the learning environment and a stronger grasp on her alphabet and simple reading skills. Her tutors were absolutely amazing at identifying what she needed to work on and made learning fun for her! She wanted to practice all she was learning with us every chance she got!

Thanks to the great atmosphere Sylvan created around learning and the encouragement they offered our daughter, she went into her early entrance exam with confidence and was one of the very few students who passed! We could not recommend them enough for parents and caregivers who want to supplement their child’s learning!

My daughter has been in their program for only a month and already there has been a drastic change to her attitude towards reading.

She now is interested in reading chapter books and is excited about participating in lessons at school where she used to feel unable to.

She is able to understand word questions more easily and her stress levels and self esteem have improved greatly.

I would highly recommend this program for anyone who has a child struggling to understand lessons in school. It’s truly worth it. Staff is super friendly and lessons are tailored to help your child learn at their pace.

I previously attended Sylvan in Scottsdale as a child and had a great experience. I decided to sign my daughter up since she’s been struggling with math. It started with a consultation after the pre-assessment and I thought the director listened to me when I emphasized on math being a key area of focus. I was eager to move forward and signed the agreement but unfortunately didn’t realize it was for ELA only. After 30 days, I had a meeting to discuss my daughter’s progress only to find out math wasn’t a part of her program. They refused to provide me another 30 days to evaluate the math assistance without paying another $900. Oh yes, it’s expensive (thousands of dollars) unless you only want like 10 hours a month. I was piloting before deciding to pay the high costs. Instead of working with me given the mistake they made, they chose to stay firm on me paying to try it out again. At that point, we agreed to part ways. Seeing the great reviews they have is hard when my experience was so different. I wish I could say it all went well. I’ll be exploring Kuman next.

The staff is courteous, kid-Friendly & accommodating to my child’s individual needs. Progress will be based on how often your child attends and Id be lying to say that I’ve seen overnight success. However, writing for my child has definitely improved since attending Sylvan. He is a 5th grader that benefits from the one on one instruction not always available in the classroom at school. He prefers Sylvan over other tutoring avenues we have tried in the past because they really strive to make learning fun and rewarding.

My teenage daughter needed help with understanding her algebra class and homework! Within a few weeks her test scores improved, she has been getting lots of help with her homework and she leaves every time happy, more confident and excited to take her next algebra test! Sylvan has been a huge blessing!

I strongly support the Sylvan Way! My daughter needed help boosting her college ACT & SAT scores. The Sylvan team really helped her unpack and understand the writing prompts, as well as the math sections. We couldn't be happier with the instruction she received. The upfront payment for tutoring her now was well worth the scholarship money to come. THANK YOU, SYLVAN TEAM!

Deb Boyd: I am Admin Mgr and likely the first person you will meet when you come to Sylvan. The main focus at Sylvan is to work with each student to master the skills that they are lacking. To encourage and to be supportive of their accomplishments while making progress in their programs. Here they are shown the importance of school and have ownership in their outcome. One of the ways we encourage them, is to bring in report cards each grading period to be recognized for their accomplishments. Our teachers are great with each one bringing a unique flavor to the teaching table. I each day upon the arrival of each student, greet them by name and ask how their day was, which I then ask about the other school activities they are involved in i.e. band, drama, dance or sports. All of this goes to making a well rounded individual. For me, it is amazing what interaction each day does to boost their self confidence and to let them know that they are valued.
