Sylvan Learning Franchisee Featured in Chicago Tribune’s “Shout Out”
Elizabeth Samartzis, the Chicago-based mother, found her passion for business ownership with the supplemental learning franchise Sylvan Learning.
According to a recent article in the Chicago Tribune, Elizabeth Samartzis from Kenilworth, Illinois left her corporate career to raise a family. Samartzis ultimately decided to become a franchisee for Sylvan Learning, the supplemental learning center brand, because of her passion for childhood development and education.
“I wanted to own my own business,” Samartzis told the Chicago Tribune. “Sylvan Learning allowed me the opportunity to become a business owner, as well as provide a service that centered around something that I felt passionate about—childhood development and education.”
Today, Samartzis owns Sylvan Learning Centers in both Skokie and Oak Lawn, both suburbs just outside of Chicago, Illinois.
