They are horrible with keeping track of payments. Received payment but said they haven't received payment yet. I would not recommend this location. Their hourly rate is overpriced.

This center has been very help to my daughter who has been struggling academically. Beginning Judy, Maya to Elizabeth very accessible individuals - they have all been instrumental in my daughters progress. My daughter began with little confidence and motivation. Five months later, she looks forward to tutoring. The states that the tutors are all kind. There's still more room for improvement but she's made progress in these past months. We appreciate the support provided at this center.

My daughter is very bright and smart, but felt discouraged after completing third grade - particularly with Math. So this summer she did Math tutoring at Sylvan. Not that she needed it but it certainly didn't hurt - it helped build her self esteem so much. She is so much more confident about her capabilities and will be going into 4th grade having full understanding of what she will be learning this year. She's ahead of the curve but what matters most to us is that she is confident about her capabilities!

Sylvan of San Marino has been such a great experience. The attention to students needs and the supportive environment for parents has been a pleasure this past month! Looking forward to seeing progress.

Finally, I received 93.6% on my final test for Geometry in May 2023! When I first approached Sylvan in San Marino in February 2023, I was struggling with my Geometry class and had received a disappointing C grade. I didn’t really want to go to Sylvan or any other learning centers in the beginning. Now I am so grateful that I took the advice from my parents, and I went to Sylvan for help.With Sylvan staff members Judy, Maya and Elizabeth exceptional support, they searched and found Griffin as my Geometry tutor. Under Griffin's guidance and support, my confidence and understanding of the subject soared. Griffin ensured that I fully grasped each concept before moving on to the next, creating a strong foundation of knowledge.Overall, my experience with Griffin and the entire Sylvan team in San Marino, CA, has been nothing short of outstanding. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need. They possess the knowledge, expertise, and dedication necessary to guide students towards academic excellence. I am immensely grateful for the support I received and the positive impact it had on my academic journey.

Everyone at Sylvan is very nice and I can see they each take pride in their position. In the few sessions my daughter has attended she’s expressed feeling a little more confident and in turn is making progress as well. Thank you Sylvan.

Former tutor here. If your kid is older, more independent, and just needs practice that you don't have time for, this could be a great fit. Each tutor usually has 3 kids at the same time, of all different ages, and all learning different skills. Sessions get pretty chaotic under those circumstances, especially if the child is young or has special needs. This is supposed to work with "independent practice", which the bigs can do, but the smalls generally cannot. Also, keep in mind that tutors don't see the plan you work out with the owner, so if your kid has any special conditions, we don't know unless the child mentions it off hand. You pay a lot for 1/2 or 1/3 of our attention. Again, if your kid just needs lots of practice, that's fine, and I did see kids make a lot of progress when I was there. But if you're looking for that one on one approach a lot of kids need, that's not what Sylvan does.

Our daughter has been receiving tutoring here since August 2022. She struggled with reading and math and was 1 to 2 grades behind which was caused by the infamous COVID gap. She is now performing at or above grade level and has a 4.0 GPA in all of her classes. In fact, she was just recommended for honors classes. We are extremely happy with services!

I took out a $3,000 loan to send my kid here and I still owed the $200 weekly. I ended up having to quit cause I couldn’t pay the weekly fee and still to this day I have a $3000 loan I owe. My daughter also didn’t like it and said she wasn’t getting the help she needed.*Its under Jessica Schraeder and when I find the bill, I’ll post a photo. It was $3,000 down and like $175 per week. This was in 2016. I felt really pressured by the staff to take out the loan right then. so I just want to warn others, I have no idea how they work now. Maybe their prices or practices are better now idk. All I know is that I still owe money for their services and once I paid the 3,000, we still paid a weekly fee that eventually I couldn’t afford and that was the reason we left
