My two boys have been in tutoring with Ms. Kay and Ms. Kathy for 6 months and they have improved by at least two grade levels. Highly recommended.

As we begin another school year, I am reminded of how grateful I am for the East San Antonio Sylvan Learning Center. I strongly recommend this Sylvan location to any family looking to improve their child’s academic success. However, it would be a great oversight if I did not give credit where it is truly due. It is with the utmost gratitude and admiration that I write this in praise of Mrs. Kay. From the very beginning, it was evident that she is a rare and extraordinary educator, a true treasure in every sense. Mrs. Kay’s passion for teaching and her genuine love for education shine through in everything she does. She is not simply a tutor; she is a one-of-a-kind professional whose dedication to her students’ learning, growth, and development is unmatched. She invests her time, energy, and heart to ensure that each child reaches their fullest potential. I often say that every teacher should model themselves after her, because she embodies what education is meant to be. My grandson Giovanni has thrived under her guidance. Even during the time when we had a gap in reconnecting, I never once considered placing his education in anyone else’s hands. That trust has been affirmed repeatedly, as Mrs. Kay continues to provide not only instruction, but also encouragement, confidence, and a genuine joy for learning. My commitment is to keep him enrolled at Sylvan through fifth grade, or until Mrs. Kay assures me, he is ready to move forward. That is the level of trust I place in her ability. Mrs. Kay is not just an outstanding educator; she is a gift to the families and children she serves. She has made an incredible difference in my grandson’s academic journey, and for that, I will always be grateful. It is both my honor and privilege to have my grandson under her instructions. It is with my deepest appreciation that I write this review. My next post will be his before and after test scores :) Sincerely, Wanda Bradwell

I don’t typically leave reviews but wanted to get on here and express how overwhelmingly happy we are with our choice to put our son in tutoring at Sylvan Learning Center at the East San Antonio location. My son has been part of the Sylvan family for about a year and a half and has gained so much from the program. He has had some huge educational gaps, especially in reading. When he came to the center he was 10 years old and reading on a pre-k level. Before coming to Sylvan he had been in a different tutoring service for two years and has received SPED services from the school district since Kinder; even with all of this help my son had not progressed past the pre-k reading level. In the last year and a half at Sylvan he is now reading on a third- grade reading level and continues to make progress at each session. Ms. Kay, from Sylvan, has been able to work with him and find out what his true deficits are and how to correct them. She was able to work with him in a way that was kind, respectful and lifted him up a person. He had spent so many years receiving “help” in ways that made him feel like he would never be an active and independent reader. He started using negative self-talk calling himself “stupid;” my son had lost his belief in himself. In the past year, all of that negativity has changed into him truly believing in himself and he is now so proud of his accomplishments. My son, the same kid who used to throw tantrums about going to school because he was embarrassed, now happily goes to both tutoring and school. Ms. Kay took a little boy who didn’t believe in himself anymore and helped him grown into someone who is happy with who he is and proud that he is finally an independent reader. We cannot thank Ms. Kay and the staff at the East San Antonio Sylvan Learning Center enough for the care and dedication they have provided to our son.

A shout out to Ms Kay and the Sylvan Learning team. My grandson has attended Sylvan for a little over a year and he’s progressed so much in his reading skills. Ms Kay identified that he was dyslexic and helped him with strategies that allow him to be successful. He enjoys reading and is excited about attending his sessions each week. If he can’t make a class he’s eager to want to make it up. She makes it fun and motivates the children to want to learn. What more can you ask!! Ms Kay is very knowledgeable and has exceptional credentials. She loves what she does and you can see it in her face! We’re so blessed to have her in our lives. Thanks so much Ms Kay and the Sylvan team!! You rock!!
