Sylvan Learning of Visalia

DO NOT give this company your money. I paid for a package deal for tutoring with the promise that if my daughter did not need all the sessions I could get my money back. My daughter didn’t need any more tutoring but when I asked Robert the owner for my money back he told me it would be a couple weeks to get it to me. I waited the few weeks and when I didn’t get my money I called again. He promised to get it to me soon. After a few more weeks I tried both emailing and calling him with no response. I contacted Sylvan but they said since he was independently owned they couldn’t force him to return my money. They did try contacting him and he didn’t respond. I turned him into the BBB and he didn’t respond to them either. I never got my money back. This man is a liar and a thief and doesn’t deserve your business.

After over a year of tutoring our child did not improve, at all. Owner appears to be in it for the money only — as all conversations fall back on who paid what, they paid this, they paid that, money money money. Would have loved just ONE meeting where we focused on the productivity of my child and not money, money, money — which was paid in full by the way.
