Sylvan Learning is the largest provider of supplemental education in North America. Founded in 1979, the dream was to provide a supplemental education service to students who had fallen behind due to non-mastery of basic reading and math skills. Since its beginning, Sylvan have helped over a million children, one student at a time, feel better about school and feel better about themselves through The Sylvan Advantage. Our locally owned and operated center has been assisting students in Roanoke since 1995. The Sylvan Advantage begins with a unique approach to learning that sets us apart from other tutors or services. Here is how it works: Sylvan Skills Assessment â€' We begin by identifying your child’s specific needs with a Sylvan Skills Assessment. The assessment is a unique combination of standardized tests, diagnostic tools and personal interviews that give a detailed profile of your child’s academic strengths and needs. It helps us pinpoint skill gaps and create a personalized program for your child. Personalized Programs â€' Then we create a personalized program of instruction just for your child. Because each child is different, with unique needs and learning styles, we create a personalized program just for him or her. Our teachers provide individual attention in an encouraging and supportive environment to help your child excel in the classroom and beyond. Our combination of individual instruction, personalized lesson plans and mastery learning can help your child develop a love of learning that lasts a lifetime. Individual Attention â€' We work with each child individually, so your child receives the specific help he or she needs. To ensure true understanding, Sylvan teachers use a method of instruction called mastery learning. Students are taught to master a skill before they move on to the next level. Trained and Certified Teachers â€' Our teachers are highly trained, certified and love teaching. They answer every question, and they patiently teach every skill to ensure your child has true understanding and retention. Progress Reports â€' We keep you informed with progress reports every step of the way with regularly scheduled conferences and written progress reports, so you know how your child is doing. Sylvan offers programs for every child in every grade including Beginning Reading, Academic Reading, Math, Writing, Advanced Reading, Study Skills, Algebra, Geometry, Homework Support and SAT Prep. Each program is customized to help your child develop skills to master new challenges with confidence. We also offer Academic Camps during the summer months. These programs vary from year to year, but reading, math, writing and study skills are usually included in these one to two week programs that are held on weekday mornings during the summer. Use the summer vacation to give your child some help and guidance in his or her academic efforts. Our Center, conveniently located in Roanoke, offers instructional hours Monday thru Thursday from 3:30 until 7:30, and Saturday mornings from 9:00 until 1:00. If your child is struggling or just not being challenged enough, we can help him or her develop the confidence that comes from a love of learning. Call today to discover how Sylvan Learning can help your child and diminish your frustration. We are so confident that we can improve your child’s learning, that we will guarantee it.
