Sylvan Learning of Downtown Brooklyn

Downtown Brooklyn tutoring starts here.

Sylvan Learning occupies a storefront on Livingston Street, a block where the neighborhood’s mix of brownstones and mid-rise apartments keeps foot traffic steady. The area hums with students from nearby schools, making it a practical spot for after-school sessions. Math, reading, and test prep are staples, alongside homework help and study-skills workshops. SAT and ACT prep slots fill quickly once school calendars are set.

Parents often cluster on the sidewalk in the late afternoon, trading notes about which subjects need reinforcement. The center’s presence on Livingston Street means it’s within walking distance for many families, a detail that eases scheduling. Algebra, writing, and coding sessions run back-to-back, with some students returning weekly for months. The approach leans on diagnostics first, then tailored lesson plans that adapt as progress is tracked.

Directions can be pulled up on any phone using this map. The address is 297 Livingston St, Brooklyn, NY 11217, sandwiched between a laundromat and a bodega that sells decent iced coffee. Enrollment questions are handled by phone.
