Hallelujah for Sylvan in the Summer!! I love to have fun with my kids in the summer but I also like keeping them on track and getting caught up on anything they need help with for the upcoming school year. Sylvan is that place, exactly what and where my kids need to be. Danny (aka Mr.Danny as my kids call him) has truly been a blessing. I was at a loss trying to find a place. I told myself this is the last place I'm going to try and it should have been the first place I tried. Danny was kind, helpful, and most importantly UNDERSTANDING!! He made the process quick and easy, before I knew it my kids were signed up and ready to. If you go to Sylvan ask for him! I can't praise him enough!! Thank you Mr.Danny, your knowledge is incredible and my kids are loving it!! read more

I'm made an appointment. I advised them I can't be contacted by phone that I had to be contacted by email due to work commitments but I would be checking my email. They called me during the middle of the day to reschedule my appointment and of course I couldn't answer it. When I called them back before 5 o'clock they were closed. They never called back even though I left a message. So no appointments was had. read more

Anyone considering Sylvan learning center on Cooper, I'd advise to look elsewhere. I enrolled my son last October for reading and math tutoring. They advised that he needed 3 days a week and they had a special for $4500 for 100 hours. They said I could pause any time and the hours never expire and a refund is available with a 2 week notice. They told me they would be in touch with my son's teachers to ensure they were helping him with whatever he needed in the classroom. I reached out to his teachers and they said they would be looking for the email from Sylvan. Two weeks went by and it never came so I reached out to the director. From October to our last day in February, that was the only time they contacted my son's teachers to see what they should be helping him with. He would come out of tutoring and say they got to spend the last 15 minutes on their phones. There were several times when he would just come out 15 or 20 minutes early and say they were done. That would be fine, but they count each session as an hour, not the total minutes. I started questioning him more and every week he would say that they are working on things he did 2 years ago in school and it is nothing even close to what he is currently doing in class. I finally decided to cancel and seek tutoring elsewhere. I was required to meet with the director before officially canceling. Let me tell you guys, I would not leave my kid alone with this guy. He was aggressive and rude. I did not feel comfortable being alone with him at all. Now here we are in March and I finally received my refund and it is $1200 short. I am so frustrated. There is no way to contact a corporate office. When you call that listed number, it sends you to the local office. Just be warned, if you use Sylvan, do not get duped into the pre pay option!! read more

We started using private tutors when my son was in 1st grade we struggled through a few in the last couple years. My son was getting frustrated because the tutors weren't teaching the same way he was learning in school, so he was even more confused and really hated the moment a tutor showed up at our door. In February, when my son started failing in math, we decided we had to do something different and decided to give Sylvan a try. We bought 50 hours upfront (buying in bulk gave us an hourly cost that was comparable to what we had spent per hour on the private tutors) and my son has been going the last couple months. He didn't hate the sessions (actually, quite the opposite as they have a rewards system in place that encourages him to go and do well) which worked out really well since we had him on a 4x a week schedule. He worked real hard over the summer and though we go less hours a week (because he's made a lot of progress and he's gotten caught up) I did purchase another 75 hours upfront. I can't remember if the 75 hours was an option the first time, but it made the price per house SO much cheaper. I recommend Sylvan for anyone that has a child that is behind and needs that consistency between school and tutoring sessions read more

I love Sylvan!! My son has been going to Sylvan for about 3 months. He is in 1st grade. His teachers have been telling me he has been behind since Kinder. I feel it's mostly because he did not go to pre-k. Long story short my son is now on level within a short period of time. He now loves to read and I give Sylvan all the credit. Thank you!!! read more

Sylvan has been a real blessing for my son. Last year, we had a terrible situation with a teacher. My child learned nothing from her. Two things happened. She went on maternity leave, and we enrolled my son in Sylvan. The difference was immediate. It was night and day. We saw a boost in his confidence. Grades that had dropped to barely passing rose back to A's and B's. Over the summer while everyone else's kids swam, went to visit family, and all the summer fun that happens in kids' lives? My son was working his butt off at Sylvan. The teachers there really care. They want to see him succeed and they help him do just that. Over the summer he learned all of what he didn't last year. He's now working on a LOT of stuff that is a year ahead of him. He's in 5th grade, but in all PAP classes with A's in all of them. We are keeping our son in Sylvan because HE requested it specifically. He's bonded with the teachers and his fellow students and he's back to looking forward to learning. DeShawn has done amazing, but we know how hard his teachers at Sylvan have worked with him. We can't express adequately how much we appreciate them. read more

Sylvan has made such a difference not only in my grandson's grades, but in his confidence as well! He struggled in third grade and never connected with his teacher at school. Possibly, it stemmed from when he was in second grade, and his teacher just passed the students with no real feedback. She ended up abruptly leaving in the middle of the year. He started Sylvan in fourth grade, last year, and he has blossomed tremendously! He enjoys going and has matured so much as well. read more
