Sylvan of SLO has been so great for our 5th grade daughter. They are flexible and kind and work to make a great match between the student and the tutors. Fostering that connection has been very important and made all the difference. We have seen huge growth in our daughter’s math skills this year and her confidence has grown as well. Thank you for being a great resource for students in our community!

My kids and I love the tutoring here! The incentives are great and help to rewire the brain to nurture the love of learning! My 2 children are total opposite of each other so this support has been a life saver. The hours are accommodating to our busy lives and the selection of wonderful tutors is beyond any other program we’ve tried. It’s a little on the pricey side but it’s money well spent. The only thing I wish is that we would have found them and signed up sooner!

My son had an absolutely fantastic experience here. He went in for some sessions for Spanish and Algebra to prep for his freshman year finals. It was the first time he kept asking to go to more and more tutoring. The sessions were successful and his final Grades reflected that. We will definitely be scheduling some more tutoring sessions when school starts back up again.

Sylvan was the best things for both of my kids. The elementary schools in SLO are underperformers. Take your kids to Sylvan. Well worth the cost.

My granddaughter has always loved Math but in junior High her grades took a nose dive. She didn’t want to go to Sylvan but I insisted. The first class was preceded with tears and a lot of complaining. She ended up loving her teacher and has admitted to me, now that she is in high school that it was a good idea. She has an A in math. I’m so glad I made that unpopular decision and stuck with it despite the tears. Thank you Sylvan and Phillip. My

We’ve loved Sylvan Central Coast. My son loves going to his tutoring. I’ve seen a definite boost in confidence too. Super happy with our decision to join Sylvan! And Phillip is great, positive, fun and a great mentor/teacher.

My son has been enjoying and benefitting from his sessions at Sylvan Learning. I recommend them as a great learning opportunity for your family.

I naturally find myself recommending Sylvan San Luis Obispo to other parents because it has been such a positive experience for us. My son started 2nd grade falling behind in reading & writing and was distracted in the classroom. Since he started Sylvan we have seen changes in his behavior in the classroom and improvement with his reading skills. He loves his weekly sessions at Sylvan so much he has asked if he could go to Sylvan everyday! We couldn’t be happier with choosing Sylvan for our tutoring needs.

We have been incredibly pleased with Mr Phillip and his team. My daughter looks forward to her tutoring sessions and gets a lot out of each. During our shelter at home period my daughter has continued weekly Zoom sessions which have helped tremendously with her homeschooling. Highly recommend Sylvan!
