Sylvan Learning

Sylvan Learning offers personalized tutoring with local tutors who are expert educators. The program uses the Sylvan Insight Assessment to show where a child stands academically and follows the proprietary Sylvan Method, which was developed through academic research, years of teaching experience, and technology. Instruction blends certified teachers and interactive technology, and Sylvan guarantees a child’s progress in its Personalized Tutoring programs, where students achieve up to two to three times more academic growth than other students based on independent research.

For over 40 years, Sylvan has helped millions of students and families achieve new levels of academic success. Sylvan is the largest private employer of certified K–12 teachers in the world, and all staff are certified K–12 teachers. The organization operates more than 750 locations worldwide, including international locations, and offers a refer-a-friend program that provides a free week of learning for both families. Its mission is focused on building academic confidence, igniting intellectual curiosity, and inspiring a love for learning. One parent shared, “Sylvan has been very supportive with my child’s needs and has greatly improved her grades and confidence.”
