Sylvan Learning Center Ordered to Pay $11,000 for Failing to Live Up to its \


Posted 2023-12-14

I've always said that there are no guarantees in the tutoring business, and that any company that claims otherwise is simply trying to deceive its clients. I think this recent legal decision makes it very clear that this is the case! "http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1182194749475 : http://www.law.com/jsp/article.jsp?id=1182194749475 In fact, I would go so far as to say that in most cases, the MORE guarantees a tutoring company makes, the LESS satisfied you will be with their service.
