What questions should I ask when first talking with this resource?
What kind of program would best suit my child?
Ask about the guarantee for reading and math!

What other things should I consider when selecting a tutor or tutoring service?
If your child has been falling behind, a supplemental provider like Sylvan can go back and "catch up" your child. Tutors usually work on grade level material, which does not help students who are missing skills from previous grades.

Ask about guarantees for the program. Ask if teachers are certified by the state

Sylvan really works!
