Sylvan Learning Centers reviews

Such a fun & much needed approach to education! Every child getting their own individualized program to meet their needs, and I get to help each of them meet their academic goals. One day you are at the beginning of school helping a student learn to read and the next day you are helping another student prepare for their college of choice through SAT prep. And when that student or parent lets you know that Sylvan made all the difference you can't help but feel really proud to be a part of the solution. Certified teachers who care about our students as well as being the best teacher they can be for them. The best Sylvan instructors completely believe in the 3:1 model and eat up every table management strategy they can in order to create that perfect balance of guided practice & independent practice. They know our students have to become independently successful so that they don't have to come to Sylvan forever, and we don't have to go to college with them. On a personal level, Sylvan has given me the chance to learn many of the ins and outs of such a wide range of education. As a person who only taught 3rd grade before Sylvan, now I mostly work with our 9th through 12th grade students and help prepare them for life after high school. I am so happy that I've had the opportunity to learn how Advanced Reading Skills, Study Skills, Test Prep, Upper Level Math, & College Writing can ease that transition from high school to college, military, or the job market for our students. Our Sylvan of Portsmouth families, my co-directors, our great staff, the other directors of our district, & our district manager are responsible for all the "Pros" of working at Sylvan.

There is the opportunity to help some students improve their math and reading skills. Some of the supervisors are quite helpful with uncooperative students. Many of the elementary level reading programs are clearly laid out and effective. It can be a lot of fun inspiring students to succeed during less hectic hours.
