Sylvan Learning of Glendale

I feel like this place has changed my 7 year olds life. He had so much trouble with writing and couldn’t get even a few simple sentences down on paper. Everyday was a struggle with his journal and his homework in general. After two months of tutoring at this Sylvan learning center, he’s doing so much better and he actually enjoys his time spent doing the work in class. His next report card will no doubt be improved but more importantly, he feels confident more and more about his writing skills and knows that he can accomplish his writing assignments at school without the struggle. Even our homework time at home has improved – !! Thanks so much to the great teachers at this Sylvan. I’m so grateful we found you! Next up – help with Math! They do it all here!

We first learned of sylvan through Groupon. Our daughter has enjoyed the reading program there.
We also learned that they have other specialized courses like math, robotics, and upper level testing.
We will definitely consider bringing our daughter back again.

We have been very happy with our overall experience with Sylvan. My son’s test scores significantly improved and his study habits changed. He also showed improvement in his comprehension skills. Caring and educated staff.

I love the atmosphere created here and how they make it fun to learn for kids. My daughter never complains that she doesn’t want to come or doesn’t feel like it. She always comes in and out with a big smile on her face. She enjoys the lessons and loves her teachers. Everyone on the staff is friendly and make the atmosphere a fun and pleasant place to come and learn. I would recommend it to anyone. My daughter already feels more confident and i love the progress she’s made. Thank you to everyone at Sylvan. I especially would like to thank Taleen. I was very impressed and felt like I had someone by my side to help my daughter through her challenges. She monitored her testing session and had a lot of great feedback.

After my grades at the end of my last semester, I realized a tutor would be very helpful. I’m in eighth grade, but I’m in geometry, which has been very difficult for me. After my mom went on Groupon and found a great deal for Silvan Learning, I decided to give it a try. We were not pleased.
To start off, I took a math test to test what I did and did not know. It wasn’t that hard, but afterwards my mom was supposed to have a conference to tell her about my results on the test. However, this was not true and she had to schedule the conference for the next week, when I wouldn’t even be there. She said later that the conference seemed to just be trying to put fear in her, while complimenting themselves about why it’s glad she found them.
My first day started badly. The bathroom I went to had a toilet where the seat was covered with liquid soap. It was disgusting and when we commented, they said they would tell the janitor coming later in the night.
The math help was fairly useless homework help, in which I learned nothing. I felt like it was a waste of my time being there. I would’ve given Silvan a negative review, if it were even possible. The people seemed nice, but incompetent. My mom got a refund after her bad experience, but I still wanted to share my bad experience with Unilocal.
This place should not have a five star rating on here, just because of one good review. I think it was a very bad experience, but it might be good for your child. For me though, it was very bad.
One star.

I am so thrilled with the results from the tutoring at Sylvan! My nieces are doing so well in school since their summer program. Their reading and math skills have made their homework time less stressful. The teachers are very professional and motivating. And the flexibility of the schedule and the smiles at the front desk made it easy for me too.
Bravo!!!

The staff and teachers are wonderful and kind and never made us feel inferior. Thank you.
