When looking for a tutor that based their approach on measurable metrics, tailored instruction and engaging lessons, Sylvan was the obvious choice. Since starting their program my son has gone from hating math to breezing through his homework. He has gained academic confidence as well as learned the fundamental skills to help him persevere through challenges. Thank you Sylvan.

If you are looking around for a tuition center for your kid, look no further! I have been sending my daughter to Sylvan for about 3 months now, and I have to say I REALLY love the positive changes I have been seeing in her. We first tried Kumon, and boy did my daughter hate every minute of it. But when we came here, she never complained about going. She is always ready to go. The best part about Sylvan is that everything is tailored to fit your child's needs. The entire program that they place your child in is customized specifically for your child. So, what my child is tackling in class is d…

My granddaughter started Sylvan Learning Center in July. Her session is coming to an end. I just want everyone to that this school is a five star. I took my youngest daughter to this school when we lived in Nj for reading. They both left with so much knowledge on reading and learning how to pronounce the letters. I’m so happy to have had the opportunity to meet the director Mr. Stephen. He is awesome and has a good relationship with all the students and parents. Ms Mikaila I want to stay thank you for getting my granddaughter thru the reading program. You are the one that helps her to get tho…

I signed my son up at the center in Columbia so he could receive tutoring and improve his SAT scores. The professionals there accurately assessed his skill levels and designed a learning program targeted as improving his reading score. Though his practice at the center and at home, his scores in both reading and math increased significantly! I highly recommended this service. Mr. Pryor made sure my son had the right tutor and worked closely with us throughout the process.

Sylvan of Columbia is awesome! My kids loved coming in for tutoring and they were very comfortable working with the staff and tutors. They have great customer service and really cared about the success of my kids and provided so much information to us on how everything works and what expectations we should have with their growth and development. Stephen and his team/staff were great! Overall, great experience compared to other tutoring centers in the area!

I called the center to inquiry about getting my children tested as well as pricing. The gentleman that I spoke to Mr. Gibson was very informative, professional, and pleasant to speak with. The customer service at this center was amazing. We did end up finding a better rate for what my child's needs were, however if the situation arises where Sylvan would be a better fit for us, we will be going there as long as Mr Gibson is there no questions asked!

My kids have been making very good progress coming to this center. The best part is that they don't complain about going to Slyvan, and gets excited when they master a topic.
