Sylvan Learning en Downey ha sido la mejor decision que he tomado para ayudar con la educacion de mis hijos. Desde el dia de mi orientacion, senti el enfoque practico que estaba buscando. Los intructores estan bien educados y son minuciosos en sus habilidades de ensenanza. Mis hijos estan en el "Spectrum" con autismo y TDAH. El entorno, junto con los instructores que se especializan en esta area, son un activo de valor agregado para Sylvan Learning. En un ano mis hijos an crecido no solamente academicamente, sino tambien con su autoestima y confianza. Mi hijo mayor ya no asiste a una clase pe…

I have been hearing about Sylvan learning Center for many years. Some good experiences and Some Bad. So it took me some time to reach out to them. I called the Downey Location and Spoke to a Lady by the name of Adriene, who gave me all the information and had me come in... When my children and I arrived I was very impressed and my Kids got excited... They tested both my son and daughter, had a detailed conversation with me on where they were and should be academically, and showed me a plan of action. Now what impressed me the most is that I already knew where my kids were and never told her..…

In just a few short months at Sylvan, my son has made more progress than I thought was possible in the span of a year. He is a kindergartner who was assessed as having pre-K academic skills. But in less than 3 months, he has met almost all of his goals, and soon he will start working on first grade academic skills. All of the teachers and staff at Sylvan have been so supportive, patient, and kind. I’m so grateful that I brought my son to Sylvan. It was one of the best decisions I ever made.

My son who was in 2nd did not know how to read. I tried working with him myself but nothing was working. I decided to look for tutoring services and I’m glad I stumbled upon the Sylvan Learning Center. I called and initially spoke to Carlos, he extremely informative. He listened to my concerns and gave me reassurance on helping my child. Walking into the center I felt at home, and best of all my child did too! After his assessment he asked “when are we coming back”. Not only was I looking for a place that I felt comfortable at but that my child did too. Sylvan checked all the boxes. I met wit…

We were looking for a Spanish tutoring program that offered my son that one to one learning experience and we found Sylvan Learning Center. Ms. Adriene and Mr. Carlos are the administrators running this program. My son just started a little over a month ago and we have already sat down twice to review his progress. We are already seeing great progress on my son's reading, writing and speaking Spanish. Staff is very professional and administrators always available to answer any concerns.

My daughter, has been attending Sylvan learning Center for seven months now. As a parent, I can honestly tell you it has been the best decision, I've made by choosing them. Not only for her, but for myself as well. Carlos, made me feel very comfortable since the first time we spoke on the phone. He is professional, super attentive, kind, and caring. I have nothing but great things to say about him. He really listens to you, makes sure to answer all your questions, and concerns, explains things throughly. I also had the opportunity to meet with Mrs. White, after my daughter's assessment test.…

Sylvan learning center is the best investment I have ever made. My granddaughter attends the Downey office. I am seeing excellent results right before my eyes. Carlos Rodriguez has been so helpful from day one. The times that I needed to change my granddaughters schedule, he had taken care of everything with no hesitation and Sylvain has given my granddaughter a newfound confidence.
