Today, we welcome a new WSB sponsor; here’s what they would like you to know about their business: Sylvan Learning of South Puget Sound has just opened a new and convenient satellite in West Seattle. The new satellite is near the junction of California SW and Admiral Way, at Admiral Congregational UCC Church, 4320 SW Hill. Sylvan Learning is offering personalized math and reading programs for grades 2-9. Now West Seattle students have a convenient location to access Sylvan tutoring programs!

These programs feature the latest Sylvan advances using Apple iPad technology. The Sylvan iPad personalized tutoring program is fun and motivating for students and allows parents a web portal to see daily progress and receive updates on their child’s progress. Programs start with a comprehensive skills assessment in either math or reading. The Sylvan team then designs a personalized set of specific skills for the student to master over a period of time. Because the Sylvan system pin-points the exact skills to be taught and students are on task and focused during the tutoring session, a typical Sylvan student will gain one full year of skill development in just 36 hours of tutoring!

Parents love being able to see what exact skills their child has mastered after each session. Never before has an investment in tutoring been so transparent! Kids love using the iPads in conjunction with individualized instruction from a certified and Sylvan-trained instructor. The technology along with a personalized approach yields fairly quick results that parents can see and feel. Success certainly feels good at Sylvan, school, and in life! The Normandy Park Sylvan and new convenient West Seattle Satellite are locally owned by Sylvan franchisees Dave and Gail Smith.
