My son enjoys going to Sylvan! At first he was hesitant because he thought it was going to feel like school - Definitely made progress this Summer and said it was FUN for him! Wonderful Staff!!! Gail, Valerie, and their tutors go above and beyond to work with our busy schedules.

Remote learning is not for everyone, my grandkids arent getting what they need to be successful students. They started Sylvan a month ago, just went over their first progress reports. WOW what a difference and they love it too! I am so pleased and less stressed about school starting in September and them starting behind.

My daughter has been going to Sylvan now for several months and it has been wonderful to see her additional development thanks to the Sylvan team! They started with some basics but they have been receptive about taking her report card from school and adapting her lessons so they are tackling her weakest spots. And talk about patient! They are very patient with all the kids they work with and take the time needed to ensure each child is learning at their own pace.

Started some tutoring help at Sylvan Tacoma. Peter is loving it and we really appreciate all the COVID precautions they’re taking. They have made plastic barriers between students/teachers, wearing masks, and washing hands. Miss Valerie is who Peter works with right now and she is a sweet and helpful pro! Peter loves practicing his muscle memory of writing and talking about books with her. Thanks Sylvan Tacoma!

My daughter is thriving in school. I put her in Sylvan to make sure she keeps on track with remote learning and she’s loves going in person and learning. They have taught her so much in a short amount of time so far. We will be using them the whole year and maybe more if needed! I feel great investing in my daughters future.

This place has helped me quite a bit! I originally went in for help with ACT and SAT prep, and amid a pandemic, they helped me achieve a score of 33 on the ACT that helped me into my dream school! Ive also worked on math, and the tutors are lovely and thoughtful. Thank you Sylvan for the help!

I cant thank Sylvan Tacoma enough for everything they did to assist me with a very challenging summer quarter. I am a senior college student, converting to a full online schooling program and Julie the Admin connected me with a amazing tutor Johnathon who was very informative on the subject highly flexible with with both our our schedlues to meet and complete homework session. I am beyond thankful, could not have me it through without them, God bless

Enrolled my 2nd grade daughter in June 2020 after struggling with managing virtual learning for the last half of the school year. The Sylvan Center was able to identify her learning gaps, develop a learning plan to help close the gaps. Now we are 3/4 of the way through the summer and she has made significant progress in closing the identified gaps. The work that the teachers/educators is wonderful,; they truly know how to get kids to engage with their learning. Enrolling her at Sylvan was the best decision I have ever made.

Had our daughters first Sylvan review just a few short weeks ago - shes mastered so many stills already.. Her S1 report card was sent home last week. Although she is still below grade level in reading her WPM fluency have increased from 28 to 55 and accuracy from 80 to 95. We couldnt be happier. She loves her Sylvan days - the staff make it fun for her to learn.

My son has been going to Sylvan for a few months and weve seen significant progress in his reading and math skills. Weve gotten great progress updates at school and hes steadily making progress on his iReady assessments. His favorite teachers are Ms. Lindsay and Ms. Lydia. He said theyre so nice to him and really help him when he gets stuck. Thank you ladies for the support! And thank you to Sylvan for helping him gain confidence in his learning abilities!

My daughter struggles with inattentive ADD and quickly got behind in school. Thanks to Sylvan, my daughter went from one half of a grade level behind to above grade level within her first 7 months of 3 hours/week tutoring. We keep her at Sylvan now to help maintain good grades and keep her confidence level up. They also help with her homework so we don’t have to struggle with it at home. We highly recommend Sylvan of Tacoma!!

My 2nd grader struggles with reading. There were days I’d pick him up and he would tearfully tell me what a hard time he was having. Since we’ve signed him up for Sylvan he is more excited about learning and has doing well. When he has a bad day he asks if he’s going to Sylvan– “because Miss Lydia makes everything better”. The staff is amazing, kind and helpful. They are flexible with schedules and timing and genuinely care about my child’s success.

Ive already recommend Sylvan to several of my friends with children who are struggling in school. I love the amazing attitude that all the tutors and staff have. I love the growth and confidence that weve seen in our son since hes started with Sylvan. As a mother I felt lost and didnt know how to help my son succeed in school because he was falling so far behind. Teaching does not come naturally to me. We feel so blessed to have Sylvan in our lives!

Sylvan of Tacoma has been awesome for improving both my daughter’s reading skills. My girls are both reading more for fun. Their teacher’s from both elementary and middle school were so amazed at the gains they made this last year in fluency and comprehension skills. The teachers at Sylvan are wonderful and so supportive. Gail and Valerie have been so great in answering all my questions along the way. I would definitely recommend Sylvan for tutoring.

When my daughter first began coming to Sylvan, she was a year behind her new school. Not only did the instructors help her catch up, they had gotten her ahead over the school year! She is still continuing to go over the summer and I have complete faith she will continue to excel in her school! No more fighting her to go to school, and no more struggling with her school work!From the teachers they use to the ladies in the front office running things, my daughter loves coming here and learning more!One of the best investments Ive made for my daughters education!

I am applying to grad school and I needed assistance with my personal statement. After getting outrageous quotes from a number of grad school focused companies, I decided to give Sylvan a try. I couldnt be happier! I worked with Valerie. She is amazing! Simply amazing! She was personable and didnt waste a moment of our time. She showed me how to make smoother transitions and impact statements. My entire paper needed to be 700 words max. Without her help, my paper wouldnt have been as effective.Before coming here, I thought Sylvan only helped elementary through high school. She shared with me that this location has teachers with a variety of backgrounds and expertise. I highly recommend this location. Money well spent! Thank you so much Valerie!

Sylvan was a place that put me through high school and made me a better person. I cant imagine ever being able to get through high school without them. Everyone there is kind and really passionate about what they do, they are very caring about the kids and always make sure that we have everything we need to succeed in our education. I highly recommend Sylvan because they are a community that helps support children and teens through their adventures of education and will always keep them on track for everything that they will need and do in the future.

Sylvan has made learning fun and simple for my nine year old son that has been struggling with reading and phonics. He gets a lot of one on one learning that he needs from accredited teachers. Great program. He has had no more than two other children at a time that join his table while he is being instructed. This helps him so much to be able to work in small groups and one on one. I always see the kids going in and out of Sylvan with huge smiles. All age groups too. Its a very positive environment!

Review №36

When I first enrolled our son in Tacoma Sylvan he wasnt excited about it at all. He was struggling with math and felt embarrassed about it. Being in 6th grade is rough sometimes. Hes been here only a short time and today on our way there he told me he actually thinks it fun! And then he told me that he had gotten really great scores on his math test from Friday, I almost cried. The teachers here have really connected with our son and built his confidence and skills. I am so pleased with his improvement and I would recommend Sylvan to anyone. Gail and Valerie are so welcoming and helpful. Thank you so much.

I was a student receiving SAT prep over the summer. I only studied the verbal portion of the SAT while there. My English score increased by 130 points from the my original test. Because of this, I now have a better chance for getting accepted and receiving scholarships. I started with a 1290 and now have a 1420. Thank you Sylvan.

Morgan, taught my SAT prep class, and I only have good things to say about his teaching methods. Theyre very effective and i can honestly say that I am very pleased to have taken the class.

Consistently impressed with the staff and process at this Sylvan. We had specific needs for our high school daughter and it has been a smooth year because of this team approach. She has doon well on the SAT and the prep was in conjunction with homework help, it did not add another class. Gail and Valerie have excellent communication with our daughter and us, we appreciate this partnership. Thank you

Exceptional! I called them in a panic 4 weeks ago about my sons grade in Geometry. Within just 3 weeks, his grade is improving and he is understanding what he needs to. I wish I would have found them sooner. They are worth every penny and very helpful. They really care about the success of your child. I called the PY location and they couldnt get me in so they called around for a Geometry tutor. I love this place and the people are exceptional. If your child needs help in any subject, look no further. I will say I called another place like them and they only cared about me coming in for everything I didnt need or want at this time. I was in a crisis and they are doing everything they can to help. Thank you Sylvan!

I highly recommend Sylvan Learning Center of Tacoma. This is our first time looking into tutoring for our children and our experience with Ms. Gail and Ms. Valerie has been overwhelmingly positive. Both my children have connected with their tutors and enjoy learning. They’re showing marked improvements in math and writing. Ms. Gail and Ms. Valerie are incredibly kind, positive women that are understanding and quick to listen. They’ve been wonderful, helping re-schedule tutoring when our home schedule goes awry. More importantly, they listen to concerns and help tailor the tutoring experience to the individual child. I’m very happy with our experience and would recommend Sylvan Learning of Tacoma.

Each session was at a steady pace and each student felt comfortable to speak and answer, even if they thought their answer would be wrong.

I put my daughter in sylvan for writing and math during the summer for 2 hours a week. After class we picked her up and asked how she did and her response was its better then the pool and as my kids favorite thing is the pool, it means a lot. They found a way to encourage her to learn and enjoy learning. I am a physics major and enjoy math so I always help my daughter with her math homework and always add more and speaking with her after a few hours or math at sylvan she made leaps in her math. I would also suggest the sylvan math program for kids that dont enjoy math as math is important for a kids future and they really help with a kids self esteem towards math.Jeremy

I am taking an SAT prep class provided at my school and I love it. Morgan is one of the instructors and he made sure that everyone concept was understood while making it enjoyable. He was a great instructor and I personally am very thankful for him and this class. The class size is small so you can get individual help and help from your peers. Not only do they teach strategies but the tricks as well.The impact of this class is sure to be evident in the scores. In conclusion I would totally recommend this prep for anyone that wants to improve their test scores.

I give Sylvan Prep 5 stars out of 5 stars and I would definitely recommend others to take this prep class. I gained some helpful strategies on how to take the SAT efficiently and it boosted my sense of confidence. The pacing of the classes are not too slow but also not too fast, which was great because it kept us engaged but not stumbling to grasp the explained content. Overall, I had a great experience and I am confident that I will be able to use what I learned when taking the SAT.

Personally, I despised math. It was my worst subject and I kept failing every test and quiz no matter how hard I tried to study and when my mom told me I was going to tutoring I was upset. I know it sounds incredibly cliche, but after a few weeks of coming to Sylvan I was actually becoming good at math. My grade last year in math was a D, but after a few months of tutoring I’m getting an A. Sylvan has really impacted my self confidence in math and I’m really starting to believe that I’m getting better. Im so happy my mom signed me up because if not I would definitely not be doing as well as I am now.

It was great to meet with Valerie and Gail. The assessment was really helpful in breaking down what areas needed to be worked on. I knew there was a math problem, but he knew how to do math. The assessment broke down the areas of math and where he needed additional help. My son also reads at a 4th grade level but was getting low marks, so seeing the different areas that go into reading and where he actually had trouble was insightful in supporting him.

I have had the opportunity to work for Sylvan as a curriculum assistant the past few months everyday I get to see how the teachers and students interact with one another. It is a very inviting environment not only for the students but myself as well, a current college student. The teachers here are always willing to help!!! Even willing to help me with my homework or questions. Valerie is my boss and if I have an over flow of homework she allows me to get my assignments complete as I work, I would definitely be failing my classes if she wasnt so kind and understating. Its a lot easier for me to get my work done in this environment opposed to my home between 9pm-1am, she helps me get some sleep as well!!! I am grateful to be apart of the Sylvan Tacoma team.

My oldest daughter attended Sylvan when she was younger and it helped her tremendously. She is so confident in her reading and loves learning. I saw how much of a difference it made for my oldest so when my youngest started struggling, I reached back out to Gail. I am so happy I got my youngest enrolled in Sylvan last year. I feel due to COVID most children have had trouble keeping up so sylvan has definitely helped my daughter so much.

I took the free SAT tutoring offered through Sylvan by Tacoma Public Schools. I definitely learned so many things that I did not know before taking the tutoring course. I had Morgan Henson as my instructor and he was very fun, engaging and helped me feel more confident and knowledgeable on how to take the SAT. I can tell he really cares and wants us to succeed. It was nice that I was actually happy and interested in coming every Tuesday even after a full day at school. I really appreciated this opportunity because I dont believe I would have been able to learn as much as I have on my own. I just wish that this was offered at my school, Science and Math Institute and there were more days so we could focus more on certain things.

Great teachers and stands by him when ever he needs it. Sylvan offers different learning skills like CODING, ROBTICS, and more. Devin started the Coding class and LOVES it.

At the beginning of the school year, Marcus showed growth over the summer and is demonstrating new reading strategies. For me the key to unlocking his potential is a positive attitude about his abilities. I see him believing in himself more and more. This is the most exciting thing for me and his reading specialist at the school is reporting new successes! He moved up a level in the DRA after being in Sylvan this summer and had improved scores on the iReady!!

Review №91

When our son wasn’t getting what he needed from his 8th grade geometry teacher, we immediately thought of Sylvan, where they evaluated where he needed support and filled that need, giving him to tools to earn his high school geometry credit.So when we decided our daughter needed help after being a casualty of gaps in her elementary education, it was a no-brainer to go back to Sylvan. And although she’s not excited about having to spend any of her summer doing schoolwork, she is motivated to gain tokens for her work that she can use to buy prizes they have there, like the emoji pillow she loves. :-)Throughout the process with both kids, Gail has checked in with us to make sure the kids are with the instructor(s) with whom they’re most comfortable and to make sure that we know what progress is being made. We have consistently felt that Gail, Valerie, and others at Tacoma Sylvan have been invested in building our kids’ skills and confidence that will go with them as they proceed in their academic careers. We already have plans for our son to go back for geometry refresher for his high school testing requirement as well as SAT/ACT prep.Worth every hard earned penny we’ve invested.Thank you, Sylvan. :-D

With the help of Sylvan’s dedicated tutors, our daughter finished her 4th grade year doing math at a 5.8 equivalent level! That’s right, our daughter grew 3 years in a single year.Sylvan Learning Centers are absolutely worth the time and investment for struggling students.

We’ve loved our experience so far at Sylven in Tacoma,WA. My son doesn’t dread going like I thought he would. He is once again enjoying learning and is progressing in the skills he needs to be successful for school in the fall. I’d highly recommend checking Sylven out if your child is in need of tutoring.

Sylvan learning center is not only great for teaching you how to do things in school. It has helped me as a person. I am now more organized and am able to keep on things in life.. i have learned how to things that I didnt know how to do when i first came in I highly suggest bringing your child who may be struggling.

My 4th grade son just completed his first month with Sylvan. The first day I brought him to Sylvan there were tears, he did not want to be tutored by anyone, one month later we had to miss a class and he was upset that he had to miss it. He actually asked this morning if he could quit school and just attend Sylvan full time. I admit, in the beginning I thought there is no way my child is going to want to get the extra help he needs, but I was wrong. Sylvan has been an answer to our prayers. He has been struggling for a couple of years with academic self confidence and now I see it slowly changing. Thank you Sylvan!

My daughter has more personal confidence and confidence in her school work since attending Tacoma Sylvan. She advanced three months in two months academically! No more fear or drudgery!

My daughter has gained lots of progress with help from slyvan. I appreciate the attention and challenges in tasks she is given. The help I get from staff is always amazing when I have a question or want more info. Slyvan has always been a major impact and support for my daughter. 5 star
