Writing Help
Soon your child's writing skills will need to be able to meet the demands of college or the workplace. Sylvan Learning can help him or her prepare for these unique challenges through the eleventh grade writing program. Following the standards set by the National Council of Teachers of English, Sylvan tutors will develop a personalized, guided writing plan for your student. Through text-based assignments your child will learn to apply advanced techniques to the writing process and become familiar with a variety of styles, including persuasive, descriptive and illustrative writing.
Reading Help
Are your child's reading skills up to the demands of tough assignments and college entrance exams? The Sylvan Learning eleventh grade reading program can help him or her meet these challenges. Tutors will develop a personalized reading plan for your child that focuses on improving content reading and reading comprehension as well as building vocabulary and word knowledge.
Homework Help
Sylvan Learning can help your child overcome the frustration of advanced homework assignments through the eleventh grade homework help program. Sylvan tutors will review the skills covered in each homework assignment and help your student gain the confidence and motivation needed to tackle homework independently. And parents can be assured that each assignment has been reviewed before it's turned in.
SAT/ACT Test Prep
Most eleventh graders take the PSAT in the fall and many also tackle the SAT or ACT in the spring. These exams can be crucial for your student's college chances and the Sylvan Learning eleventh grade SAT/ACT test prep program is here to help. Each targeted, test-specific learning plan is tailored to your individual student's needs and includes both skill review and test taking strategies.

Students also learn to improve their reading, note taking and test preparation skills, developing habits that will last them throughout their academic careers.
Courses for Credit
Select Sylvan Learning centers are regionally accredited, which allows them to offer courses for academic credits that are widely accepted by U.S. high schools and colleges. These courses are great for students who are shy a few credits for graduation, home schooled students who are deficient in one or more subject areas or any student who just needs to get ahead.
