Sylvan Learning of Vancouver - Kerrisdale

I have found the Executive Director of the Kerrisdale Centre to be very supportive of my son's learning journey. His specific needs are being addressed and their writing program has been tailored to meet my son where he's at. Although the year at Sylvan hasn't shifted his marks at school, it has shifted his mindset, which is the first (big) step.

My 9 year old daughter started attending Sylvan (Kerrisdale) this year. She's been attending for a few months and is really enjoying herself. We have seen some progress in her skills and abilities thus far but most importantly she is feeling confident and happy. She is always excited to attend class at Sylvan Kerrisdale and looks forward to working with all her teachers. We hope to continue in the program for the long run and also thinking about having our youngest daughter join.

We started our daughter at Sylvan to help her catch up on her English skills as she switched from French immersion in Grade 4. In the short 2 months that she has been there, she has blossomed and her reading has improved immensely. The teachers are all wonderful.

We have been sending our kids to Sylvan Learning for almost 10 years. Our kids have benefitted immensely, because Sylvan’s program is very in tune with what is being taught in the school system. Their reading, writing, and math programs have given all of our kids the confidence they need to excel academically. We have so much faith in their teachers that we never feel the need to request specific ones. We trust Sylvan, especially the directors at this location, to help our kids build a solid foundation of academic skills, study habits, and work ethic. They are truly invested in each and every student.

The best Sylvan branch in town! My 5-year old enjoyed inclusive learning with friendly teachers and staff. With only once a week English literacy class, my daughter get L" in her kindergarten English reading which well exceeds her age level. Thumbs up for the professional teachers and kind staff at Sylvan Kerrisdale!"

My son joined the Sylvan Reading program 4 months ago and we have noticed great progress. Not only can he pronounce the words but he is also very confident when reading to his classmates at school. This is why he is always excited to attend the lessons twice a week.Thank you to the teachers who make it fun for him to learn.I highly recommended Sylvan for parents with kids that need some extra support or just want to stay ahead!

This is great place to go for your child to learn additional skills to supplement their in school learning. It is not the same as a tutor they don't work on school work there is a real focus on working on beefing up skills that might be lacking or weak. There are regular updates to see your child's progress. They also use a token system that helps to motivate your kid. Highly recommend this place.

We started Sylvan learning for our daughter 2 years ago to help her reading and in just one year we saw an incredible difference. She no longer needed extra help at school and in fact was commended by her teacher for being above grade level! This year she has had both virtual and in person tutoring to help her math. She finds her lessons fun and engaging and reports that they are improving her performance at school. We have been thrilled and impressed with all of the staff, from Brenda who is the head and coordinator, to all of the teachers. The token and reward system works really well as the toys are awesome and keep our daughters very excited (we were so happy we added our older daughter for extra learning) . I would highly recommend Sylvan without reservation, whether it's for assisting a child with learning difficulties or a gifted child who wants to get ahead.

Our daughter started with Sylvan when she was 4 years old in the early reading program and now she is one of the most efficient readers in her grade. We recently switched her to the math program and are trying to get more advanced in math. Both programs are very systematic and thorough, and have been helping my daughter build essential skills and confidence. Most importantly, it is making learning easy for her. We like how the Sylvan Director proactively reached out to us on a regular basis to update us on my daughter's progress, and to listen to our goals and providing advice based on that.

My son and daughter recently joined Sylvan Kerrisdale - we cannot thank all the teachers and directors enough. We send the kids three times a week - they have been enjoying every single lesson and they always look forward to their next session. We are very impressed with how Sylvan manages to keep “every child’s learning personal”; the directors are very on top of our monthly review which we truly appreciate. We have also been referring our kids’ friends to enroll in the amazing Sylvan program! Upwards and onwards!
