Sylvan Learning Announces Expansion Throughout Los Angeles

Top Education Franchise Brand Seeks Franchisees in Key Growth Market

May 02, 2014 // Franchising.com // BALTIMORE - Sylvan Learning, the personal learning pioneer for more than three million students and counting, is expanding its California footprint with education franchise opportunities for local entrepreneurs to own new centers throughout Los Angeles. The company has served families in the market for nearly 30 years and seeks to expand to 17 new locations over the next several years.

Sylvan is targeting expansion in undeveloped territories throughout Los Angeles that are ready for their first Sylvan Learning Center. Communities across Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties are being targeted. Sylvan Learning currently operates 31 locations in the Los Angeles 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 Barbara Timm-Brock, Chief Growth Officer, Sylvan Learning. "With the importance of education and 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.

"I chose Sylvan because I think it provides the highest-quality education services in the tutoring space. As a Marine Corps veteran with 16 years experience in education, my passion has always been to serve. I enjoy being affiliated with organizations that have a service-oriented mission," said Todd Crabtree, a franchisee that owns four Sylvan Learning Centers in Los Angeles County. "Southern California, and especially Los Angeles County, is a terrific market for Sylvan. The high concentration of children and the enormous need for high-quality supplemental education has never been greater, especially with the enormous budgetary challenges our schools face. Parents are finding that if they want their children to be successful, they need to find additional services like Sylvan to fill in any gaps and get their children ready for higher education."

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 Timm-Brock. "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 Los Angeles.
