Please welcome Official Sponsor Sylvan Learning Center to Kids Fest Jackson 2022! Sylvan will be attending on April 9th with information on how your child can supplement their school programs with assistance from a Sylvan Tutoring Program.

- According to independent research, students in a Sylvan Personalized Tutoring Programs achieve up to 3x more growth in their math and reading scores than their peers. And, they achieve that growth faster than with just school alone.

So in a short time, your child will be ready to catch up, to keep up and maybe even get ahead of the class!

Private tutors and other tutoring companies just can’t match that.

But success extends far beyond right answers and incredible test results. It’s the smile on your son’s face when he reads aloud for the first time. (Goosebumps!) It’s watching your child light up when that tricky algebra problem finally clicks.

You’re creating momentum for the future. -

Please stop by and visit their booth to learn how your child can exceed with Sylvan!
