Sylvan Learning has already begun assessing and enrolling students, with the aim of serving at least 160 students across the three schools. The tutoring program is designed to provide a “five-star Sylvan experience” with individualized instruction tailored to meet each student's specific needs.“Even though we’re going into the schools and it’s an after-school tutoring program, we are still giving this everything that Sylvan has to offer because these families deserve it,” Samp said. “We’ve already had families who have enrolled who are crying tears of joy because they’re just like, ‘My gosh, this is a dream come true.’”The $450,000 grant is distributed as follows: East High School will receive $149,000, Roosevelt High School will receive $149,000 and Hoover High School will receive $150,000. The funds will be specifically used for accelerated tutoring after school, targeting students who have fallen behind academically.“We are working on how to continue this into the schools because it’s a vital service that takes the pressure off of the school district. It’s a turnkey approach where we find the teachers, we provide the programming, we liaise with the parents — plus it’s data-driven.”Sylvan Learning is ready and able to expand this program to other school districts, utilizing Title I funding, as it has successfully done in other districts. “My hope is that we can get the word out and other schools will say, ‘That’s what we need to do. Let’s call Sylvan and have them come into our school,’” Samp said.To find out more information on costs to buy this franchise, please visit&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning">https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning</a>.ABOUT SYLVAN LEARNINGWith more than 45 years of experience and more than 710 points of presence, Sylvan Learning is the leading provider of personal learning for students in grades K-12.
