I'm afraid I don't know how much it cost but I can say that I went to sylvan and it was the best money my parents ever spent on me!! I couldn't read by the 3rd grade so my parents put me in sylvan and i learned to read at a college level in 6 months. I also went back there for math and loved it. They are so helpful so supportive and I always had fun. I am now almost done with my bachelors degree and on the honor roll in college. And with all honesty I truly owe it all to sylvan and my parents, without them I don't know if I would have ever learned to read or even graduate high school. It was worth every penny!

I believe that the cost is dependent on the franchise owner. I work for Sylvan in the Metro Detroit area and my location costs $40 an hour/$50 an hour for one on one... this is after the cost for the testing... i do know that at sylvan they test you and start you at the level you are at or need help with, not all the way back to the beginning. I currently teach all the way from 2nd grade math to algebra! I enjoy working there and i do see the improvement in the kids!!!
hope this info helps.. if you need to, ask me more. Ill find what i can for you!

I don't have experience with Sylvan, but you might try buying some simple reading activity books (they have them are Target and such). Some tips on other things you might work on for a 6 year old are letter sounds ("S says sssss"), breaking words up into sounds ("car is 'k-a-r'"), and teaching them to recognize basic sight words (the, cat, I, run, etc). Also, find books interest him and read them with him. Use your finger to show what you are reading while you read and have him follow along. Every now and then ask him what sound a letter makes, demonstrate how you sound out words and ask him to say a word every time it appears (like, "the", "he", etc.). I know this isn't what you're asking about, but I hope these tips help. Best of luck! p.s. If your child is in a school that is not making AYP (adequate yearly progress, part of No Child Left Behind), the school may pay for additional tutoring for you son. Check with your teacher/principal.

I do know they are very very expensive. I don't work there. I don't know anyone who does. I am a teacher. In the past 4 years, I've had maybe 3-5 of my students going there for tutoring services. NONE of those students showed any growth in the classroom. I think Sylvan is a rip off. They are a business. They're in it to make money. So........they tell parents their kids have deficiencies even if they don't to keep you taking your kid there to get more money.
