Speaking of Sylvan Learning, Seattle Parent Survey Comments

Read what families have to say about their experience with Sylvan Learning of Seattle. The provided quotes are taken from survey responses recently received from enrolled families.

I approached Sylvan Learning with some skepticism, doubtful that it could have the effects claimed by their advertising. However, I am no longer skeptical!

My daughter had struggled with reading for years. Hours with private tutors showed little overall improvement during her lower school years. The improvement in less than a year of Sylvan has been dramatic, with her reading comprehension increasing five grade levels. Her success at Sylvan has increased her confidence and she now takes schoolwork much more seriously, wanting to do as well as possible rather than feeling that she was 'not smart enough' to do well.

Sylvan's structured approach, ongoing feedback, reward systems, and carefully planned curriculum have all worked for her. After years and thousands of dollars for tutoring that did not work, this has been a gift in our lives.

Thank you to all of you for helping improve his math skills. He's truly enjoyed his time with you and we appreciate your professionalism... and your sense of humor. We are very happy with the people, program and results.

I wanted to let you know that my daughter passed the WASL in reading and writing. We weren't expecting her to pass and we are very pleased! Thank you.

- 5th grade mother at John Hay Elementary


Good teaching process, friendly and intelligent staff, and good communication of child's progress. We would not have passed the WASL without your help... I would definitely recommend Sylvan!

We see an improvement in reading and appreciate the positive reinforcement that is a great part of the program.

My son has been happy at Sylvan, learned a lot, and has bonded with the teachers. His experience has lifted a burden off his and my shoulders.

We have seen an incredible jump in her confidence. She is happy knowing she will earn class credit for her work at Sylvan and not have to repeat Algebra at school.

- 10th grade mother, Mariner High School


You have done and are doing a great job. I have seen the progress in school reports. I would definitely recommend Sylvan Learning Center.

- 8th grade mother, Whitman Middle School


We just want to thank you for helping our daughter so much; her math teacher just called me to say how great it is to have her in his class. He said she was ahead of many of the students because she was prepared. Thanks to your teachers for helping her, and if we ever need you again, we'll be calling you. Thank you.

- 8th grade mother, Whitman Middle School


I have learned a lot and it has noticeably improved my grades in school. I?ve enjoyed learning with you. Thanks for all your help!

- 11th grader, Ballard High School


Thank you for all the work you have done for me. The work I have done over the past three months has really helped me a lot, and the SAT class made a huge difference. You run a really good program and I appreciate everything you have done for me.

- 11th grader, Bishop Blanchet High School


I can only say good things about your program!! One area I was very impressed with was scheduling. We would need to change times for whatever reason and it was always easy to do (most of the time). I have already recommended you to my friends.

- 8th grade mother, Whitman Middle School


Thank you for making my grades go up! It was always fun to be over there. You are such great teachers! Thanks again!

- 6th grader, McClure Middle School


No other program has helped so much. I would definitely recommend Sylvan. My child is much more focused on her studies and more responsible in completing her own work.

- 5th grade mother, Laurelhurst Elementary


Sylvan has been wonderful for my son. His test scores were low, but now they are right on. The teacher, and people that work there have been a big help.

- 4th grade father, St. John School


I am already recommending Sylvan to my friends; it's made a big difference at school. My daughter has said, ?Momma, when I'm through with my program at Sylvan, can I still go? They make me feel good.? And, ?I don't feel wobbly at school anymore.

- 5th grade mother, Whittier Elementary


Amazing progress, especially for boys of color who often face negative stereotypes in the classroom and Sylvan knows how to reverse it!

- 10th grade mother, Seattle Prep School


My daughter is really excited right now about what she is doing at Sylvan. She is doing the same thing at Sylvan as she is doing in her math class. She feels like Sylvan is really helping her out and is really applicable to what she is doing at school. She feels like she is competent and doing well in class!

- 11th grade mother, Ingraham High School


I chose Sylvan because of its ability to specify my child's needs. My son's reading deficiencies were specifically identified and corrected point-by-point in less time than anticipated.
