Our experience at Sylvan far exceeded our expectations! Not only did the instructors provide for the students academically, they genuinely care about how they do on assignements and tests. Sylvan provided a nurturing and positive environment and our 3 children benefitted significantly from their time there. Sylvan sets up kids to succeed and also takes the pressure off the parents. It has been very positive for our family.

Testimonial 7 - The Smith Family

I am a Sylvan Mom in Scottsdale. I would without hesitation recommend this learning center to friends and family. Kathy and the rest of the team at our location have embraced my thirs and sixth graders with warmth and when necessary firmness. Both of my kids have improved not only their grades but most important their confidence. Although it is a significant financial commitment, I find it priceless to have the support and guidance of Sylvan. We as a family do not feel as overwhelmed with school.

- T. Smith & Family

Testimonial 8 - The Bonifeld Family

We would highly recommend Sylvan. Kathy and Dee were able to communicate to our son in ways we could not. In a 6-week span, he has improved from scores in the 40% to the 90%. His algebra teacher asked Kathy for several cards to help out other students. We look forward to SAT prep and feel Sylvan's help will be the reason he is able to qualify for college admission.
