Come join the leader in supplemental education and take advantage of this rare opportunity to invest in a well-established, turn-key business. Sylvan Learning – Vancouver offers a comprehensive educational service portfolio, from tutoring and enrichment to test prep and STEM education. With a loyal customer base, prime location, and experienced team, this business is built for immediate success and long-term growth. Situated on the top story of a 3-story building at Kerrisdale village’s main intersection on 41st Avenue, the center offers excellent visibility and walk-in potential.

We are proud to be the first Sylvan franchisee not only in B.C. but in Western Canada, operating successfully for over 35 years! At our peak, we ran four profitable centers simultaneously (Arbutus, Metrotown, Champlain, and Oakridge), winning Sylvan's Top Territory Revenue Award 5 times! Due to building locations being redeveloped and COVID, we decided not to extend the leases of three of the locations and focus on the one location that was close to where we live, while maintaining strong confidence in the territory's growth potential.

Sylvan Kerrisdale was our original location and has been in operation in this neighbourhood since 1986 and the local community sees Sylvan Learning as the supplemental education experts. The Center has a very positive relationship with the local public and private schools, and we have been actively involved in our communities. The Kerrisdale location is in a 3-story office building in the main intersection of Kerrisdale village, which is the heart of Vancouver’s Westside, an affluent area with families that prioritize their children’s education. The Center brings walk in business and provides retail options for consumers as they wait for their students. As rewarding as this journey has been, it's now time for us to retire and pass this legacy on to someone who shares our passion for education.

Expansion Potential Includes:
-Developing new programs to catch a wider market, for example: early reader programs for ages 3–5, local and abroad online students. Sylvan corporate developed a virtual learning platform since COVID with personalized live tutoring sessions. This allows students to learn from home, interact with tutors face-to-face through video, and utilize Sylvan's digital curriculum. We currently have some students take online sessions from abroad, there is definitely still room for growth.
-Launching 3 or more centers within the territory, such as Vancouver East, Burnaby, New West.
-Establishing satellite locations (e.g., Jericho) in Vancouver West.
-Currently we have not spend much on local advertising, potential can be area of growth and opportunities.
