The Sylvan Learning Method: A 4-Step Confidence-Boosting Plan

    This is a sponsored post brought to you by Sylvan, but the opinions here are 100% my own.

    It feels like the never-ending year, and yet it just started. Am I right?

    The reality is, learning is different right now for many kids, and that means as parents, we’re in the trenches figuring out how to roll with the punches while feeling many of the blows.

    We’re moms. We’ve got this. But it does help to know when we have a community in our corner available to assist when we need a little guidance. I am adamant that it takes a village to raise our children, and this without a doubt includes now, when we’re doing some very fancy footwork with education.

    Here’s the thing: this virtual learning environment may be new for many parents, but it’s not unknown for Sylvan Learning. They’ve been around for a long time, supporting homeschooled children in virtual environments as well as school children who need a little extra personalized support. 

    Personalized Tutoring

    Sylvan guarantees that children will see results. In fact, they typically see a growth rate of two to three times more than other kids. Often, kids are struggling not only with their grades and test scores but also with their confidence. Knowing you aren’t doing your absolute best can be a hard hit as a young kid. Sylvan recognizes this and makes confidence boosting part of their program.

    To meet each child who walk through their virtual doors, each student is introduced to the “Sylvan Way.” Alongside the Sylvan teachers, students achieve four main goals:

    1. Receive the Sylvan Insight Assessment. Higher scores are achieved only because the certified Sylvan teachers have a deep understanding of each child’s strengths and weaknesses before beginning teaching. With the Sylvan Insight Assessment, children’s needs are assessed, so the teachers know exactly where to start. 
    2. Work Their Individual Plan. Each child has a tailored plan based on their individualized assessment. The program is both personalized and adaptive, which means it is tailored to the child, but it’s flexible and will change as the child grows and becomes more robust in their study area. 
    3. Learn from Certified Sylvan Teachers. Once teachers assess your child’s needs and have a reliable yet flexible plan of action, they guide and instruct students through their individualized learning plan. 
    4. Apply Learning. Sylvan measures and rewards children every step of the way. They guarantee results, and because of that, they take the entire learning process from assessment to completion very seriously. 

    Virtual Environment

    Our Children Need a Village

    Listen, we’re doing the best we can, but it’s okay to ask for help. It feels like just one more thing on your plate, I get that. However, you know Sylvan Learning just like I do—they’re leaders at their craft. This isn’t a time to weigh out our options; this is a time to step up to the plate for our children, and ourselves. 

    Letting the village help educate our children is one of the smartest investments we will ever make. Using Sylvan as the provider is a no-brainer. Their proven method, guarantee, and expertise all make this an extremely easy learning choice.
