The premier supplemental education brand’s offerings—which include <a href="https://www.sylvanlearning.com/camps/stem?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-are-families-big-fans-of-sylvan-learning-because-it-works-2711656" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">EDGE programs</a>, <a href="https://www.sylvanlearning.com/camps/stem?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-are-families-big-fans-of-sylvan-learning-because-it-works-2711656" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">STEM Camps</a> and <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning/sylvan-learning-test-prep-helps-centers-thrive-and-students-succeed-2706426">test prep solutions—</a>all provide highly relevant subject matter exposure that, thanks to Sylvan’s proprietary learning software, <a href="https://www.sylvanlearning.com/personalized-tutoring/sylvan-method/our-technology?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-are-families-big-fans-of-sylvan-learning-because-it-works-2711656" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">SylvanSync</a>, is tailored to a given student’s individual needs.&nbsp;Tompkins has been with the company for 20 years in the Central New Hampshire area and is proud of the variety of subjects and tutoring programs that Sylvan offers to children grades K-12.“Sylvan offers a broad range of curricula that is simultaneously tailored to meet the needs of students today, such as STEM subjects,” Tompkins said. “We service kids from 4-years-old who are struggling with writing to high school students having trouble with math. The fact that we can individualize aspects for kids is what makes us stand out.”Franchisee Penny Loome––owner of four Sylvan centers on Vancouver Island in British Columbia––also applauds Sylvan for the <a href="https://www.sylvanlearning.com/subjects?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-are-families-big-fans-of-sylvan-learning-because-it-works-2711656" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">range of subjects offered</a> to families.&nbsp;“One of the beauties of the program is that we leverage a curriculum broad enough to meet diverse student needs,&nbsp; but then we tailor the focus to each individual student,” said Loome. “Maybe a child is strong in language, but needs tweaking in writing and really needs help in math. We can do that.” Indeed, Sylvan’s personalized learning software, SylvanSync, adapts in real time to a student’s learning, allowing the instructor to tailor the curriculum based on their needs. In the world of supplemental education, such a customized approach to students’ needs is both rare and laudable.&nbsp;In a previous discussion with <a href="https://1851franchise.com/">1851 Franchise</a>, Sylvan Learning Vice President of Education Emily Levitt emphasized how important it is to <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning/now-that-school-is-back-in-full-swing-here-are-4-ways-in-which-sylvan-learning-uses-supplemental-tutoring-to-personalize-a-childs-learning-path-2710976#franbuzz">use supplemental tutoring to personalize a child’s learning path</a>.“Students need that mentor, that guide who cares about them and can boost their confidence and root for them, but schools cannot always tailor their teaching style to the individual child,” said Levitt. “Sylvan Learning can help students make huge strides by offering a personalized learning plan and robust support, thereby increasing their confidence and their love of school and learning.”Supplemental education may have new eyes taking notice—but Sylvan’s been leading the charge for 40 yearsSylvan puts the proof in the pudding. The leading supplemental education brand provides the data and research that parents want to see. Loome appreciates the extensive data and <a href="https://www.sylvanlearning.com/personalized-tutoring/sylvan-method/how-it-works?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-are-families-big-fans-of-sylvan-learning-because-it-works-2711656" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">assessments</a> that Sylvan conducts in the interest of demonstrating to parents that its individualized instructions are research-backed and characterized by proven methodology.“A lot of other tutoring centers make claims, but there’s no way to prove or deny them,” said Loome. “We have a huge system filled with third-party data that we can show parents. We aren’t just telling parents what works—we’re showing them—which, for me, is what makes us stand out the most.”According to Loome, Sylvan is constantly staying informed of emerging research and data related to children’s supplemental education—and often leading the charge itself.&nbsp;Why is this important?&nbsp;Because, as a result, Sylvan can ensure that its innovative curriculum stays aligned with the needs of students to best position them for future success. This data also helps Sylvan improve <a href="https://cities.sylvanlearning.com/us/sylvan-method?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=why-are-families-big-fans-of-sylvan-learning-because-it-works-2711656" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">diagnostic tests</a>––which show “how your child compares to national norms in math, reading and language arts” and help target certain skills your child needs help with.A well-earned reputationThere’s no more discerning judges than parents when it comes to their child’s education. Thanks to Sylvan’s ample parent referrals, five-star reviews and its 40-year track record of proven methodology that’s data- and technology-driven, the business is laying down the foundation for student success and reassuring parents that their kids are in the right hands.“When you’ve been around for a long time, it tends to speak to families and show them that your system works,” said Loome. “We’ve been around long enough where we’ve tutored the children of those children who first came to us.”Several students have such a positive experience with Sylvan in kindergarten that, as they transition to higher grade levels, they are often enthusiastic about returning. When Tompkins sees familiar students&nbsp; who come back in to further excel in their education, she’s reminded how well Sylvan’s method works.“We’ll see kids in kindergarten come in and then once they hit intermediate school, their parents will bring them back in a couple more times to get them caught up,” said Tompkins.After seeing the benefits firsthand from Sylvan’s unparalleled supplemental learning services, Loome advises parents to get their child assessed sooner rather than later.&nbsp;“When you’re driving a car and your engine starts giving you trouble, you don’t keep driving your car and expect it to fix itself,” said Loome. “Eventually you have to take it in otherwise the car is going to come to a grinding halt––it’s the same with kids.”
