Sylvan Learning of Sioux Falls

After COVID, we were really concerned with our daughter's education level and abilities. Her reading scores were low due to being in classes with masks on all the time. We started at Sylvan and within 3 months she was back up to grade level and excelling quickly. We added in math as a treat for her, because she loves math, and she continues to excel and grow every session she has. It isn't a chore to get her to go to Sylvan as she enjoys all of the teachers and the rewards of the Sylvan Store. And as her mom, I am so grateful to all of the Sylvan staff for helping our daughter achieve her full potential.

My son has been attending since June 2021 to address learning loss due to the schools shutting down. The personal attention to his unique learning needs and style the staff has given him has far surpassed anything I could have asked for, especially since he’s on an IEP and getting the school to respond isn’t always the easiest. The feedback from regular testing and conferences has been invaluable and has kept him from falling more behind his classmates. On the personal side, he loves going there and meeting the other students and staff. It’s bright and cheerful, and they offer positive praise, which is a refreshing change from hearing all the negative things. Even if all you can do is one hour a week it’s definitely worth it.

Sylvan has helped my daughter gain confidence in reading. She has gained so many skills since going 4 hours a week. We will continue until she is up to grade level…. Update to a year later and she is reading so much better now. She can read without having to sound everything out and we are inching towards her grade level of reading. She loves the atmosphere at sylvan and works extra hard knowing she can earn points for prizes! I highly recommend if you have a student who is struggling. Their tutors are very helpful and she loves working with them.

Both of my daughters had a great experience at Sylvan. They loved going, they grew so much as learners. They were so open with communication. Both of our children made major improvements in their academics. Thank you so much Carol and crew.

We were really worried about our oldest daughter having the skills she needed for college. She is almost done with her first year and doing great! Sylvan helped her get to this point. Our youngest daughter is more confident with her reading and math skills and doing well in school. We hare grateful that this service is available.

Our daughter enjoys each of the teachers and the environment Sylvan provides for homework assistance as she navigates high school math classes. Sylvan staff are patient and provide encouragement and guidance to our daughter which has increased her confidence. Having a place outside of school that can provide extra help has been a great addition to our routine. The Sylvan staff truly want to help and the insights they provide are valuable.

My son has been attending Sylvan for a couple of years. The full staff is incredibly friendly. My son is excited to attend and see his 'teacher friends'. The lessons are tailored for his strength gaps, and they continue to help us evolve our focus. It has been such a great supplemental education tool.
