The brand already has 17 centers in the state and aims to open in an additional 32 territories in the next three years.Like many states, New York has been helping students transition back to in-person learning. In fall 2021, many schools <a href="https://spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-ny/ny-state-of-politics/2021/09/20/new-york-schools-face-covid-challenges-as-they-reopen?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-eyes-new-york-state-as-next-market-for-franchise-expansion-2717160" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">closed temporarily due to COVID-19</a> outbreaks, and although there are virtual options in place, students are falling behind. In New York City, for example, only <a href="https://www.osc.state.ny.us/press/releases/2021/09/dinapoli-nyc-doe-faces-significant-challenges-closing-covid-achievement-gap?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-eyes-new-york-state-as-next-market-for-franchise-expansion-2717160" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">85.2% of students attended online classes</a> in the spring of 2020, compared to in-person attendance of between 91% and 92% pre-pandemic. Enrollment also declined 4.9% from 2020 to 2021.“New York students are feeling the impact of a difficult 18 months, and their education IS suffering as a result,” said Sylvan Learning CEO <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mcauliffe-b309152a/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-eyes-new-york-state-as-next-market-for-franchise-expansion-2717160" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">John McAuliffe</a>. “Students need help getting back on track, and although the state’s recent funding approval is great news, it may be a while until students see the full impact of that assistance.”The U.S Department of Education recently approved New York’s American Rescue Plan Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ARP ESSER) plan, which grants the state <a href="https://www.ed.gov/news/press-releases/us-department-education-approves-new-yorks-plan-use-american-rescue-plan-funds-support-k-12-schools-and-students-distributes-remaining-3-billion-state?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-eyes-new-york-state-as-next-market-for-franchise-expansion-2717160" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$8.9 billion</a> in funding to safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and equitably expand opportunities for students impacted by COVID-19. While this is a positive step forward in the state, there is still a long road ahead for teachers and students.As the country continues enduring the pandemic and students return to school, it’s become increasingly clear that the virus has left gaps in learning. A <a href="https://www.mckinsey.com/industries/public-and-social-sector/our-insights/covid-19-and-learning-loss-disparities-grow-and-students-need-help?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-eyes-new-york-state-as-next-market-for-franchise-expansion-2717160#" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">recent study</a> estimates that COVID-related learning loss resulted in students being anywhere from four to 12 months behind in their studies. In New York State, where the pandemic led to the loss of months of learning, schools are scrambling to find ways to help students catch up in an effort to prevent what could become a generational education crisis.Luckily, Sylvan is uniquely suited to address the problem.Independent research shows the <a href="https://www.sylvanlearning.com/personalized-tutoring/sylvan-method?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-eyes-new-york-state-as-next-market-for-franchise-expansion-2717160" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sylvan Method™</a>, developed through academic research, teaching experience and technology, builds confidence, boosts skills, delivers better grades and results in up to <a href="https://www.sylvanlearning.com/our-results?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-eyes-new-york-state-as-next-market-for-franchise-expansion-2717160" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">three times more academic growth</a> compared to students who don’t utilize Sylvan.

Our goal is to help the community address this huge gap that is forming during COVID-19. Sylvan is not a one-size-fits-all service — it’s personalized for each child. Our 21st century programs, camps and workshops can help students catch up and reclaim their education.”At the beginning of the pandemic, Sylvan introduced a virtual tutoring option to ensure that children still had access to their tutoring sessions. As school districts transitioned to remote learning, Sylvan created its School Support program to help children stay on track and help parents manage the complexities of this current school year. The brand also rolled out a mobile app in some markets that allows parents to book virtual lessons with Sylvan-approved tutors.&nbsp;“By continuing to invest in new learning technology and staying committed to an individualized teaching method that addresses each child’s unique needs, Sylvan can make a difference and completely transform a child’s educational experience,” said McAuliffe.With thousands of school relationships in North America, Canada, Hong Kong, UAE, Kuwait, Vietnam and Turkey, 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.&nbsp;With its eyes on New York State, the industry-leading learning franchise is seeking franchise partners to provide a much-needed service as students struggle to get caught up and reach their full potential.“Franchisees will be able to make a difference in their community by bringing Sylvan Learning to the families of New York,” said McAuliffe. “At a time when demand for our services is unprecedented, Sylvan Learning’s system is stronger, more nimble and more united than ever.&nbsp;We are excited to find new partners to bring Sylvan Learning to New York.”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.
