What We Do
As the leader in the supplemental educational space, Sylvan has been licensing to franchisees for over 38 years delivering individualized tutoring instruction. We’ve internally developed SylvanSync, a proprietary digital teaching platform designed to support each student's distinct learning needs. Sylvan Learning supports core tutoring programs in Reading, Math, Study Skills, Writing, and Homework Help. With SylvanSync's mobility in addition to the growing popularity of the STEM line, Sylvan EDGE, Sylvan has enabled franchisees to open in satellite locations in order to expand their footprint across a larger geographic area, allowing more convenience for their consumers and additional accompanying revenue streams to you as the franchisee. You have the ability to offer satellites at schools to deliver an after school EDGE program, or even at your local YMCA to provide the 3:1 tutoring model to families who find your second location more convenient. There are always opportunities for additional satellite locations within the territory, and Sylvan encourages you to explore those.

Sylvan Learning is the most recognized brand in supplemental and enrichment education, and the nation's largest provider of STEM education. With more than 750 locations and over 39 years of stellar results from our students and our franchisees, our franchise system has emerged as a leader in the industry. With a proven track record of success and the right tools in place, Sylvan is a strong and long-term opportunity in a booming segment.

At Sylvan, We Believe

Education is everything - A child’s future depends on a solid education and a love of learning. We teach our students how to learn, so they build confidence and develop the skills needed to achieve success in school and beyond.
Learning should be personal - No two students are exactly alike. They learn in different ways and at different paces. That’s why we develop personal learning plans that are unique to each student.
Great teachers inspire - Our teachers don’t just teach. They help turn frustration into confidence, B’s into A’s, and strugglers into achievers. They inspire one student at a time.
Technology accelerates learning - Technology doesn’t teach students, teachers do. We blend great teaching with great technology to get the best out of every student.
Results matter - We’re committed to inspiring every Sylvan student to advance in our programs and are the only education franchise confident enough in its results to launch an improvement guarantee. Thirty-nine years of great results, millions of successful students and counting.
