Counting to Success

Some kids get the hang of learning numbers very easily. Others? Not so much. That’s okay! It’s natural for children to discover how to learn numbers at their own speeds. Whether you want to help your child turn math B’s into A’s or frustration into confidence, Sylvan can take your child’s understanding of numbers to a whole new level.

Our math tutors use a personal approach to help kids master how to learn numbers. They start by assessing your child’s math skills and attitudes towards school. Then, they create a personal learning plan just for your child, making sure your son or daughter masters each counting technique and numerical skill before moving on.

Best of all, our tutors combine personal attention with cool digital tools (such as iPads® and a virtual rewards system), so learning numbers is fun and challenging − never frustrating. Before you know it, your child will be glowing with newfound confidence!
