Sylvan Learning of Newport News - Yorktown

I see my very honest review of the services my son received were taken down by the owner. In the interest of protecting other potential clients I’ll leave my review again. My son went to Sylvan and not only did he not improve while he was seen there, but his math skills actually slipped. His homework was done incorrectly on several occasions while at Sylvan. And the work was checked by one of their staff memebers. As soon as I pulled him out and placed him with a private tutor his skill set dramatically improved, and only after 2 sessions. Tons of money wasted on just a very poorly run program.

I had a good experience many years ago and was shocked at how poor the results were this summer when my grandson attended. He actually fell further behind in math while under their very expensive services (then improved dramatically when placed with a private tutor). His homework was done incorrectly but approved by his Sylvan tutor. A very costly mistake that I hope others who read this review will avoid. This is not the Sylvan I once knew. I would give them a -100 if there was that option.
