We’ve had a wonderful experience with Sylvan Learning Center in Salinas. It has truly been the only real individualized support that has worked for my daughter, helping to fill in gaps that just aren’t always possible to address in a traditional public school setting. Since starting, she has made great gains, not only academically but also in her confidence and self-esteem. She’s able to learn at her own pace, while still being gently encouraged and motivated to keep progressing. The balance of patience and the right amount of push has made a big difference for her. The teachers are incredibl…

We’ve seen such a positive change in our daughter’s reading. Her skills have noticeably improved, and the results speak for themselves—better grades and, more importantly, a big boost in her confidence. She’s now more excited to read, and that’s been amazing to witness.

Sylvan has been a great addition to supporting my child’s academic success. My child enjoys showing up for tutoring sessions & participating in additional activities and camps provided. Ms. Cary & her staff make learning fun and enjoyable for children.

I have nothing but great things to say about Sylvan. My daughter's math improved an entire 1yr 8 mnths in grade level, all in a matter of a couple months. I am so impressed! I can really see the difference. Ms. Carrie is awesome and will work with you to make any schedule or payment arrangements. If you are thinking about it, do what I did and at least have your child take the assessment to see what areas, if any they need help in, you won't regret it!

We couldn't be more pleased with our daughter's improved Math skills. There are no more tears or frustration when she does Math homework at home. All the staff at Sylvan are professional and kind. Each child has their own individual education plan on what the focus/help needs to be on. Summer sessions are great, STEM classes rock! I'm glad we have invested in this tutor program for our daughter's academic success and confidence. Thank you Ms. Cary and staff!

The counselors are very helpful and fast in communication. The tutors are great too.

The staff were very professional and accommodating. I like how they are very thorough with the assessments. They oversee not only the academic performance of the child but also the behavior and attitude aspect towards learning, which I think is very critical. It is important to also address the emotional part of the kids as this plays a vital role in their learning journey. Highly recommended!
