My daughter attended their writing program for most of seventh grade. Overall her writing improved. She did complain that a lot of tutoring was on an iPad and not one on one. She started 8th grade and I was hesitant to keep her in but I paid for hours in advance so wanted to take advantage of the tutoring. Unfortunately she had to have major surgery during beginning of the school year so couldn’t attend sessions due to multiple competing medical appointments. I waited about 5 months see if she could return to tutoring and by that time she didn’t need it. So I called and requested a refund in late may. I didn’t get refund until 3 months after. And that’s only because I had to keep emailing them and calling. Bottom line be careful paying for hours up front because good luck getting your money back in timely manner! Look at these reviews- it’s happened to other people.

Sylvan has really helped my son catch up from COVID. He needed an in-person tutor to work with him in both Math and Reading and he has shown a ton of improvement. Admin wise Erin and Anu have been really fabulous, their communication is great and they will adjust when you or the teachers provide feedback in specific areas that need help. Great program overall!

I've already started to see improvements in my child's academics. My child has already mastered 30 skills in less than a month. I was hesitant, at first, due to the cost of the program. Thus far, it's been worth every penny spent.

This center was suggested to me by my son teacher. As they say teacher know best. I’ve tried other center and I’m looking forward to seeing the progress. I can’t give a honest review but in 6 months I think I can expect results. My son is enjoying the learn style and Tutors and that is super important. A child needs to be happy to excel. The journey has been short. But will update result and reflections on program.One plus point is that sylvan reaches out to child teacher to make sure needs are being met.

I am writing because my heart is so sad for the way that this particular Sylvan Center worked with my 10-year-old daughter and then chose to handle our family crisis. I communicated my concerns along the way and sought to work through any issues and see things from their perspective. We chose to hang in there despite realizing that the people helping my daughter were not doing a great job helping her learn and grow. But then, our family had a crisis that led to our daughter no longer being with us. As you can imagine, our grief was profound. Instead of treating us with kindness and compassion, they would only cancel our remaining sessions after taking out the majority of the money that they said that we owed them for canceling without a 2-week notice, and then the original assessment fee, etc. Maybe because I posture in the world with great empathy and compassion, this whole situation is just mind-blowing. I normally don't write negative reviews. I wish this story with Sylvan would have ended well. and that I could have sung their praises for being beautifully kind in the midst of everything.

Btw Anu is Amazing. Sylvan has increased our son's confidence in school. Sylvan has reduced our frustration and stress with our son in academics.

Sylvan staff does an excellent job supplement the children's education. I got my sister tutoring before the pandemic and now my nephew. Still great service with online tutoring. They have helped the children in my family immensely.

We absolutely LOVE Sylvan Fremont! Both of my children have had the opportunity to participate in their programs and have gained so much from attending. Currently, my daughter is attending and loves it. Because of the pandemic and having to have the children virtually learn, it has been difficult on my very social daughter to keep up. In just a few weeks of attending, we have noticed a huge difference with her attitude towards learning. If you are thinking about enrolling your child, DO IT. It's SO important to invest in your child's education, especially during the younger years. The director Anu is SO AWESOME and will be truly supportive of your needs.I also want to add that one of the main reasons I chose Sylvan was their communication with your child's teacher. They check in with your child's regular school teacher to ensure what they are learning at school is connected to what they practice at Sylvan. We love being a Sylvan family and look forward to our daughter living up to her full potential!

UPDATE: I wrote a good review early on in our time with Sylvan, but I have grown in my appreciation Sylvan. I have been SO IMPRESSED at how quickly Sylvan went online during the pandemic. The 1-on-1 sessions my kids have had twice/week which started almost immediately after schools closed has been a lifeline while PPS got its ducks in a row. Kudos to Teresa, Mary and the team for getting the online tutoring rolling so fast.Also, I should add that I have grown in my admiration for the tutors themselves. When the kids were at the center, I couldn't see them in action. But now I overhear the tutors' quality teaching and my kids' pride in their work. You get what you pay for with this place!

My son goes to Pleasanton Satellite Sylvan center for English reading and writing skills. Over the past few months he has shown significant improvement is this area and all my thanks goes to Sylvan learning centerstaff for their tremendous attention and effort for making this happen. Pleasanton Satellite Sylvan center has handled the pandemic situation very carefully by following all the guidelines promptly.
