Sylvan Learning

In Defiance, Sylvan Learning is a tutoring center that provides individualized academic instruction for K-12 students. It begins with a single-subject assessment that combines adaptive testing, teacher observation, and the child's perspective on school. The results inform a personal learning plan tailored to the student's pace and needs. Certified teachers deliver lessons with adaptive technology, then check how students apply new skills in schoolwork. Instruction is personalized. Sylvan's process can also involve a child's classroom teacher. Families can start with a no-cost Insight Assessment to understand a student's current skills and discuss a plan. The center describes its approach as addressing learning gaps before teaching the subject, with plans adapted as the student progresses.
