Success happens at Sylvan.
My son is in second grade and has had trouble with reading since he started school. My husband and I did not know how to help him or what to do to get the lessons through to him. We turned to Sylvan as our last resort and the change has been fantastic. My son likes to read, he will read out loud in front of family and friends...My husband and I agree that the money and time spent for our son to go to Sylvan is probably the best investment we've ever made.
