For what it is worth, I second not going to Sylvan. Some of the students I know who have utilized their services were not satisified with their results for the amount of money spent.
I would second looking into tutors in the area. Hopefully, you live in an area with college students around (I would go with a college student as opposed to a HS one because of the maturity level and because of the education behind them). I would expect to pay around $20/hour. I would call your local college's education department and ask the advisor how to recommend recruiting someone. Sometimes, depending on the size of the university, all you need is a flier with your information on it, and you should get some calls.
Good luck with this!
