Keri has been nothing but helpful to our family during our daughter’s tutoring. Always understanding of us and offers help in anyway. Our daughter absolutely loves all tutors. They are patient with her and help her a lot. We have seen her improvement since day one. Before, we needed to sit down with her and help her do her homework. Now we just explain the first question and she then completes her homework by herself. That in itself is a huge improvement! I feel like that would not have been possible, had it not been for Sylvan & their amazing tutors. Please take into consideration all the am…

Mrs Keri and her team is amazing. My son came in with learning challenges and he has improved at an impeccable rate. The staff is great and the environment is warm and friendly. My son looks forward to attending tutoring sessions weekly. I would recommend Sylvan to anyone that have a child whom needs tutoring.😀

Keri and her team are excellent. They’re always willing to explore new ways to support both the kids and the parents. I especially value how Keri reaches out to classroom teachers. It shows me that everyone is working together with the same goal in mind: helping the kids succeed. I appreciate the monthly updates on the progress- it keeps us connected and reassured. We’re grateful for everything the Sylvan team has done. Their support has made a meaningful difference.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review My son has been attending Sylvia Learning Center for a little under six months, and the growth I’ve seen has been amazing. I’ve definitely noticed a real change in his eagerness to learn—he’s more confident, more curious, and he actually gets excited to point things out. He’ll stop and say, “Oh, I know this word!” or “Mommy, I can do this!” which is something I didn’t see before. I am very grateful for Miss Keri, Miss Paula, and Miss Amanda. They are incredibly attentive, patient, caring, and they truly go above and beyond for each student. You can tell they genuinely love…

I reached out to Sylvan and from the very first meeting we had Keri & the staff have been nothing but great, super helpful and detailed with my son’s progress. My son started reading tutoring at Sylvan about a month ago and he absolutely loves it!!! Definitely looking forward to more progress to reach his goal and I know at Sylvan he will 👍🏽

This sylvan learning center is excellent. My son Tyler suffered from a traumatic brain injury and he has been going here to this Sylvan for six years and has really thrived. He has the best tutor named Ms Paula Speight. She has really helped him in every aspect of his academic studies. She has been able to help him reach his goals in both math and English and has boosted his confidence. As a parent I am truly grateful and thankful for Ms Paula and the Sylvan organization for all of their help. If anyone is thinking of placing their kids in this Sylvan I highly recommend. Thanks Sylvan for all…

My daughter’s confidence level in her reading comprehension improved significantly! She looks forward to coming, which is a great indicator that her teachers took time to establish rapport and make learning fun.

My daughter started at Sylvan after beginning 1st grade and being behind on reading. With 3 sessions a week over 4 months, she has shown incredible progress. She has caught up to the rest of her class, and her teacher has been truly impressed. She recently began reading on her own, for pleasure -- this was a change from agonized, assisted reading that we had to struggle through. Sadie and her team are doing a great job. And the results are clear.
