About
Sylvan Learning offers personalized tutoring that uses the Sylvan Method, which is based on academic research, years of teaching experience, and technology. The program uses Sylvan’s Insight Assessment to show where each student stands academically and then provides personalized tutoring with local tutors who are certified teachers and expert educators. Sylvan blends certified teachers with interactive technology and offers programs that can challenge students, build confidence, boost study skills, and help deliver better grades.
• Schedule: Personalized Tutoring programs include a progress guarantee
For over 40 years, Sylvan has worked with millions of students and families. Sylvan states that students in its Personalized Tutoring programs can see up to two to three times more academic growth than other students, based on independent research, and that students can achieve up to three times more growth in math and reading scores than their peers and achieve that growth faster than with just school alone. Sylvan has more than 750 locations, including international locations, and is the largest private employer of certified K–12 teachers in the world.
Sylvan’s mission is to build academic confidence, ignite intellectual curiosity, and inspire a love for learning. The program emphasizes the belief that education is important and that learning should be personal, with great teachers who use positive reinforcement and work to turn frustration into confidence. Sylvan also offers a refer-a-friend program that provides a free week of learning for both the referring family and the friend.
One parent, Geoff B. from Math/Algebra Edge, reports that Sylvan has been very supportive with his child’s needs and that it has greatly improved her grades and confidence.
