Sylvan Learning of Mission Viejo

Advertising a summer camp with fix days and hours which doesn’t exist. Calling me 2 weeks after paying and 1,5 week before the camp that unfortunately there won’t be any morning camp only in the afternoon. (I was pretty clear that my son could only do the mornings because of the busy summer schedule that is why we have chosen them).
Now we are here without camp:(I don’t think I will ever go back to them. First and last time:(

Very happy with progress our daughter is receiving. The staff is very friendly, flexible with scheduling and accommodating, but more importantly they are helping her with grades and organizational skills. We meet periodically to review progress and set new goals. They hold her accountable and provide guidance. Communication to us is very good as well. We are a team — Sylvan/​parents/​student/​school teachers. Thank you!

BEWARE PARENTS! After spending $ 7,000.00, our children are not at all where they said they would be. It makes me sick to my stomach to think that this company charges $ 50.00 plus an hour with promises of educational success only to leave you with an empty pocket book and below average results.
My children complained in the early days of tutoring saying that they were being taught baby stuff they already new like cat, rat, sat. When we asked Sylvan why they said we are working on the foundation. Sounds reasonable we thought we’re not teachers but in retrospect we were spending $ 50.00 an hour per child to instruct our children and to be honest we are not quite sure what they learned. Bottom line we trusted Sylvan based on the reputation Sylvan has built through the years but the truth is this center does not live up to the reputation.
We brought our concerns about the children’s progress up to the center manager Tanaz J. Gibbs and to our surprise she asked for more hours hence more money. I thought to myself has she lost her mind!
In short, a very large amount of money was consumed with very little results!
