Sylvan Learning of Port Washington - Port Washington, New York

My children have been enrolled at Sylvan of Port Washington for the last few years now and we highly recommend this program!! Ms. Lisa and Mr. Wing are so dedicated to their success and have continued to foster an environment conducive to growth. The children enjoy going there and are motivated to work hard. They themselves feel the improvement and we have had tremendous success in reading and math skills as well as handwriting for one of our children. The teachers work hard to help children improve areas that may be weak but also strengthen their grasp on subjects that they already excel in so that as the work gets harder in school they have a solid foundation to lean back on. Don’t hesitate- this is the right place!

My two sons have been Sylvan students for the past few years in both after school enrichment and summer camp. Their summer camp offers a variety of different activities to keep them engaged while learning new concepts and ideas - great for keeping their minds active during the summer lull. My younger son has really improved in his reading comprehension over the last 2 years. Lisa and Wing really make the effort to tailor the enrichment best suited for my boys. Highly recommend!!

My two boys have been going to Sylvan since they first opened their doors. My older one benefited from their PSAT prep courses. My younger one focused on math and writing which helped in keeping up with school work as well as preventing summer slide. Lisa and Wing take the time to really understand the students and their specific needs. The tutors are excellent and both my boys developed great working relationships. Their summer camps offer a variety of engaging activities for little ones and my older son enjoyed helping out at camp. Highly recommend if you are looking for extra support for your child or getting your child ahead.

I started sending my older child to Sylvan at PW since summer of 2017; started with STEM camp and repeated every summer. Our child loved it so much that eventually she requested to be enrolled for academics program. That was truly amazing because rarely would a young child request this (2nd grade at the time)! She loved all the activities (STEM, robotics, academics including math, reading and writing). I also send them to Sylvan during the winter breaks as they are available for extended hours and have great activities for the children.

Lisa and Wing are extremely dedicated owners that care about delivering proper education to their students. They are also very caring toward all the children and are so down-to-earth, always easy to talk to with any concerns or questions. I highly recommend this learning center to anyone interested in excelling or reinforcing their child's studies.

My daughter was in Pre-K (5 years old) when we enrolled her into the Sylvan. She was wasn't very happy entering a new school/new class (actual school setting) and every time we would go over her work, she didn't have the self confidence or want to answer us. So we knew she would need some one-on-one tutoring, not only to help her learn but we wanted to build up her confidence so that she can enjoy learning and being in school. When we toured the center, we were very impressed with how well the areas were set up and you really can see and even sense by just listening how much engagement there is between the tutor and the staff. Our daughter has been so happy since being enrolled and we really do see a progress within weeks and her teacher has even mentioned within the next term how surprised she was by the growth she has seen in both education and confidence and we really do believe that Sylvan played a big role in that. We even continued to keep my daughter in the tutoring for the summer in addition to putting her in the STEM program. To this day, we can hear her repeating some of the learning exercises she has learned and that really make us happy. I rarely leave reviews but Sylvan Learning in Port Washington definitely deserves one. If you are looking to see actual results in your child, I highly, highly recommend you check them out.

I have two kids who’s in Sylvan program for as long as I remember. The kids did more when Covid pandemic started. I’d say no regret at all for doing it. My kids never lost learning time. In fact, they are two grades above their current grade with the help of Sylvan. The kids love attending their robotics and engineering STEM enrichment courses as well and look forward to attending their School is Out workshops. It is great working with the owners and their staff!

Lisa and Wing are fantastic educators. My 1st grader loved attending the full day vacation STEM camp. Their curriculum engages the students with hands on learning and activities that feel like play. My daughter is begging to go back. A great alternative to day care for school holidays.

It's been few months since my kids started their robotics class at sylvan. I was at first a bit hesitant due to school being a chain/franchise, thinking the curriculum is rigidly set. But, every project has been perfectly geared to their interests. Pros: 1. great teacher-student ratio (immediate attention if needed) 2. enthusiastic directors with great communication 3. family/comfortable vibe, 4. open space with plenty of viewing windows, and 5. my kids look forward to this class!
