S.B.
We did use Sylvan several years ago for an older child (7th grade) and it was ok, but quite spendy. What we did last year that worked well for our younger kids was we asked their teacher if she would be willing to tutor over the summer. She was thrilled that we asked and to have a little extra money. I would ask your current teacher or a 3rd grade teacher if they, or another teacher they recommend, would be interested.
