Part of the nursing program admission is to take an entrance exam which consists of English, Reading, Math, and Science. I struggle with reading comprehension and grammar, so Sylvan has helped me not only improve my reading comprehension, but also taught me how to speed read which was perfect for a timed test. Daneka has suggested bringing in additional workbooks for the grammar section to work on with the tutors. I was taking Chemistry and Human Anatomy over the summer and Daneka allowed me to bring in my homework for additional help and prepare for my tests. Daneka is very nice and all she wants is to help and see students succeed. I thought Sylvan was only for elementary or high school students; however, the tutors will work with anyone whether that person is a college student or an older person. I have to mention; it was pretty funny to see myself surrounded by younger students who were in elementary or in preschool. Read More

By her own wishes she has made a goal to begin 7th grade math in Algebra. She wants to skip Pre Algebra as she is in fear of being bored and wants to excel with the comfort of not being lost or having to much on her plate to continue her excellent grades. Sylvan has been working with her and guiding her with her math since 4th grade. She is in 6th grade now and works at an 8th grade math level as well will be able to enter 7th grade at her goal of Algebra. I would like to commend and give Thanks to ALL the staff at Sylvan. It just would not have been possible without them. Read More

Firstly, my initial contact (which is the most important), was so pleasant. I spoke with Jennifer, she was very informative and answered all of my questions and concerns, so I scheduled the assessment for my daughter. Secondly, get used to it because everyone at this center is super friendly- just to name a few, Daneka, Maegan, and Pauline are so willing to help in every aspect of developing a learning plan that will allow your child to become comfortable in building the confidence needed for succeeding in school. My daughter struggled terribly in math to the point of tears for most of her 4th grade year. She absolutely loves her instructor's, and the incentives Sylvan offers are fun. She is advancing and is on mark with her weekly achievements. The office staff/instructor's will exceed your expectations. Thanks to all! Read More

My student loves the additional support and believes Sylvan is helping her raise her failing grade and now she will not be taking summer classes to make the grade up.
