My daughter is in 4th grade and was struggling with reading. My mom, who is a college professor, recommended I call Sylvan. I had my daughter tested in August and she was over a grade behind in reading and had low confidence. She was also in a reading program at school and this embarrassed her. We started Sylvan in September and after 4 months she is up to her grade level in reading and is no longer in the low reading program at school and tells me every day how much better she feels reading out load in class and reading around friends. I have noticed a huge difference in her but actually meeting with the program director Brian and reviewing her progress was impressive. The teachers here are wonderful and the director Brian is always available to meet. He also knows the kids and parents by name and is very friendly and«funny» as my daughter says.
