At Sylvan Learning, our approach is straightforward and results-driven. Starting with our unique Sylvan Insight™ Assessment, we identify your child’s exact needs, create a personalized learning plan, and work together toward academic success. Here’s how we make learning work for your child:

Step 1: Complete the Sylvan Insight™ Assessment

Our journey begins by pinpointing your child’s current academic level. Through grade-appropriate questions, our assessment evaluates their strengths and areas needing improvement in core skills like reading, writing, and math. For younger students, this includes letter recognition and basic math facts, while older students are assessed for study skills like organization and note-taking. With these results, we can develop a tailored learning plan that aligns perfectly with your child’s needs and educational goals.

Step 2: Start Personalized Tutoring

With a plan in place, our experienced tutors provide individualized support in specific subjects and grade levels. We use a curriculum that aligns with current school standards, and our certified tutors know today’s teaching methods. This personalized, engaging approach not only helps students learn but also builds confidence and enjoyment in learning.
