Sylvan Learning

IRVING, Texas — <a href="https://sylvanfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=career-educator-esther-contreras-signs-with-sylvan-learning-bringing-leading-technologyeducation-franchise-statewide-count-to-60-with-opportunity-to-add-locations-in-66-more-territories-2714562" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sylvan Learning</a>, a leading provider of supplemental and enrichment education for students in grades K-12 with more than 750 points of presence worldwide, is now expanding its footprint to Irving, Texas with the signing of Esther Contreras and her husband John Mosqueda, who both have worked in education. This new signing brings the leading technology and education franchise statewide count to 60, with an opportunity to add locations in 66 more territories.Contreras has been an educator in Texas for over 27 years in positions ranging from dean of instruction to principal, working across the board with both at-risk and gifted students. In 2019, she retired, deciding she needed a break after her husband was involved in a major car accident and she herself became sick. Even in her time as an educator, Contreras knew she eventually wanted to open her own franchise — she just didn’t know which one.&nbsp;This February, while looking for math and reading resources to help her 12-year-old son who struggles with dyslexia, Contreras came across Sylvan Learning. After discovering that she had the opportunity to franchise with the brand and familiarizing herself with the product, the career educator knew she’d found the perfect fit.&nbsp;Now, amid a global pandemic, Contreras is in the process of opening her first brick-and-mortar Sylvan Learning center in Irving, Texas, with plans to eventually open a second location for virtual learning in Mesquite. She says that given her background, starting a business during this time hasn’t been intimidating to her, and she hopes her center will be a resource that students and parents can lean on as they continue to navigate the challenges that come along with virtual learning.“Opening has certainly been a process, but it’s something that’s very familiar to me, having worked to open schools in the past,” said Contreras. “There are so many parents who need our assistance now more than ever. I am at home working with my son every day, spending time trying to help him through this. It was clear to me that now is the perfect time for a company like Sylvan. Parents need our expertise, and I’m confident that we can offer them that support — I want to be the answer that parents are looking for.”For more than 40 years, Sylvan Learning has been focused on building academic confidence, igniting intellectual curiosity and inspiring a love for learning — all of which make a big impact in school and in life.
