Math Tutoring

Math Help to Grow Skills and Confidence

There’s something about the daily adventure known as math that can make even the most easy-going parents feel tested. (Or testy, as the case may be.) If your child is continually struggling and can use math help, take heart: every child learns in his or her own way, meaning personal attention can make all the difference in mastering math. Kids who come to Sylvan of Dubai – Al Barsha for math tutoring typically see up to two times more growth in their math scores than other students.

​

When it comes to math tutoring, personal learning is what we do best. Our math tutors use your child’s personal learning plan and engaging technology (such as iPads®, interactive exercises and a fun rewards system) to motivate and inspire your child. Our math tutors get to the root of your child’s math help needs, so your child can soar with new-found skills and confidence. It’s no wonder kids love coming to Sylvan.

Reading Tutoring

Personal Attention to Help Your Child Thrive

Sure, you want your children to love reading. It’s why you read their favorite stories to them (over and over and over again) when they were very young. But not every child is a natural born reader … and even kids who are great readers can use reading help from time to time. Because no two children are exactly alike, we personalize reading tutoring to each child, giving kids the personal attention — and confidence — they need to thrive.

When you choose Sylvan Learning of Dubai – Al Barsha, reading tutoring starts with Sylvan Insight™, our proven approach to learning. We take the time to get to know your child and create a personal plan for his or her success. Then, we blend interactive technology (such as iPads® and a fun rewards system) with our amazing reading tutors to truly connect with and inspire your child.

Soon, reading becomes the fun adventure it should be. Things begin to click at school. Your child glows with confidence. Our personal approach to reading makes all the difference!
