Sylvan Learning provides personalized remedial and enrichment supplemental educational support throughout the year in Reading, Writing, Math, Study Skills, Homework Support (all subjects) and SAT/ACT Prep.

All of our instructors are state certified teachers. Teachers are further trained to deliver Sylvan programs and are supervised by our Director of Education, who is also a NYS Certified Teacher. They understand what each student needs to succeed, and we use our programs to help each student achieve their goals in a positive, fun atmosphere that builds confidence and enthusiasm for school.

For students who are struggling academically, we start with an assessment. Based on the assessment results, we create an individualized learning plan that enables our teachers to systematically identify those skills that have been mastered (which are not taught) and those skills that have not been mastered (which are taught until mastery and retention is achieved). For many students, we are not only reviewing current grade level skills, we are also providing instruction for weak skills from prior grades. Those foundational weaknesses are often the true source of the academic struggle. Instruction is in a 2:1 setting that provides one-on-one instruction and immediate opportunities for students to confirm independent mastery and retention of the skills being taught. The program moves at the student's pace, uses a proven incentive component, and continues until the student has met their academic goals.

For students who are not struggling, we can provide a Summer opportunity to get ahead. We can improve their reading comprehension or math skills, previewing next year's skills, so that students begin their next year with an advantage.

Sylvan's focus on personalization includes meeting with parents every month. Our Director of Education explains what happened the prior month - what your child worked on, how it went, what teachers were saying. You will understand what we are doing, how we are doing it and whether it is working.

During the Covid crisis, Sylvan is providing instruction both online and in-center.
