Sylvan Learning Announces Expansion Throughout Long Island, N Y

Sylvan Learning, the personal learning pioneer for more than three million students and counting, is expanding its New York footprint with education franchise opportunities for local entrepreneurs to own new centers throughout Long Island. The company has been serving families in this market for more than 30 years and seeks to expand to eight new locations over the next several years.

Sylvan is targeting expansion in undeveloped territories throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties that are ready for their first Sylvan Learning Center. Sylvan Learning currently operates eight locations in the Long Island area.

"Supplemental education services have never been more in demand and Sylvan's proven business model, breakthrough technology and reasonable investment cost have made us the country's top education franchise," said Scott Hurlock, Vice President of Franchise Development, Sylvan Learning. "With school budget cuts resulting in larger class sizes and fewer resources, and with increased competition to get into colleges of choice, more families are seeking the personal learning experience that can only be found at Sylvan."

Sylvan Learning has been an industry leader for more than three decades, because the company is committed to innovation that meets the needs of today's students and the business goals of its franchisees. No other education franchise offers Sylvan's state-of-the-art Insight process, which pairs a best-in-class computer-adaptive assessment with a student's self-assessment of habits and attitudes toward academics to create a 360-degree view of each child's needs. This allows Sylvan to design learning plans that adapt to each child's individual skill level and pace, meeting the needs of any family throughout its academic journey.

Steve Huff, a Sylvan Learning franchisee in Westchester County, owns two franchises with his wife, Kathy Smith.

"Sylvan presented us with a terrific opportunity to become entrepreneurs and run a successful business while still giving back to the community," said Huff. "Being a partner with the leading provider of educational services brings us brand recognition and quality support "" both of which have paved the way for a rewarding experience, financially and personally, over the past eight years."

Sylvan continues to distance itself from the competition and lead the growing education and technology industry with its proprietary iPad teaching system called SylvanSync, which blends personal lessons taught by Sylvan-certified instructors with technology students love. Sylvan is the only supplemental education brand to offer this breakthrough learning technology, which also enables center owners to scale their business by bringing the Learning Center directly to their students. Franchisees are able to offer Sylvan's proven programs at schools, community centers and libraries and gain market share in the process.

"Our ideal franchisee has a passion for education and for making a difference through learning that is unique to every student, every time," said Hurlock. "Offering our franchisees innovative technology like SylvanSync gives them the tools they need to succeed as a Sylvan business owner and ultimately have a positive impact on their community."

Sylvan Learning seeks single- and multi-unit operators to join in the brand's rapid expansion across the U.S. and Canada. New territories are now available in Long Island. For more information, contact Scott Hurlock at (410) 843-6551.
