So we entered our son in sylvans in May because he was struggling in school. They came highly recommend; however, after 8 months his progress seemed to declining further vs improving. It seems as if the group environment they use where giving them treats for five minutes of success doesnt really work. In my opinion if you just want an afterschool baby sitter this is the place to be but if you want your child to succeed you may want to look for a different tutor/company.
