Sylvan Learning of Johnson has a top-notch team of teachers and directors. We wouldn't be where we are today without them helping us meet our goals. All four of my children have succeeded because of the support at Sylvan. Everything from remedial reading to enrichment in writing math college prep and homework help. Thank you Sylvan of Johnston for all you've done for my family!.

As a grandparent, I have stopped into the Johnston Sylvan center a few times… The staff there is always very protective of someone they don’t know ~ which I loved. Staff is very welcoming and professional when I am there to visit. The staff always seems to be interacting and happy… That can only happen when there is wonderful leadership that keeps the work environment welcoming, professional, interacting, and happy!!! If I was not retired, I would consider getting a job there. 😎
