Based on independent research, Sylvan students see up to <a href="https://www.sylvanlearning.com/our-results?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-announces-plans-to-open-six-locations-in-turkey-2715892" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">three times more academic growth</a> than other students.

Right now, it’s only in English, but if we are able to translate this into Turkish and reach all the target markets, it will make a huge difference in our country.”Visit the Sylvan Learning Turkey <a href="https://www.sylvanlearningturkey.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-announces-plans-to-open-six-locations-in-turkey-2715892" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">website</a> and follow the Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sylvanturkey/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-announces-plans-to-open-six-locations-in-turkey-2715892" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">@SylvanTurkey profile</a> to learn more.ABOUT SYLVAN LEARNINGWith more than 40 years of experience and more than 750 points of presence throughout North America, Sylvan Learning is the leading provider of personal learning for students in grades K-12.
