Sylvan Learning

This year, Sylvan Learning is celebrating two exciting milestones: The household name is ringing in its 40th year of student success, and as of February, the brand now has a presence <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning/leading-supplemental-education-franchise-sylvan-learning-breaks-into-all-50-states-enjoys-nationwide-celebrations-to-mark-its-40th-anniversary-2709829">in each</a> of the 50 U.S. states. The leading supplemental learning franchise has certainly experienced tremendous growth over the years—and now has its sights on Atlanta, Georgia, as one of its next priority markets for growth.As a respected brand with unparalleled name recognition and reputation for proven results, many Sylvan Learning markets around the nation are fully sold out. Atlanta, however, is one of the few major U.S. cities that still has prime areas available. Sylvan Learning has identified the potential to add at least nine new centers in Atlanta, specifically in the metropolitan area and including Jonesboro, Smyrna, Country Lake, Lithonia, Buckhead, Roswell and Sandy Springs.“The first Sylvan Learning Center in Atlanta opened back in 1985, so the brand has a proven presence of success, and as the city continues to expand, we would like to ensure local students have access to the best personalized learning resources possible,” noted John McAuliffe, CEO of Sylvan Learning.Sylvan Learning has 10 existing centers in Georgia, including a brand new location in Alpharetta slated to open in the early fall. Franchisee An Tran and her husband have turned their decade of experience working with youth in the church into their next business venture.“We want to continue to do what we love and get involved in our community to help other kids be successful in their education,” said Tran. “There’s definitely a need for tutoring services in this area, and there are not many competitors.”Tran said that though her center is still in the build-out stage, Sylvan Learning brand recognition and her local marketing efforts have started to create buzz around town. “Schools are looking forward to working with us. Many people already know about the company and the product, so they are excited.”In recent years, Atlanta has propelled itself to the forefront of the technology conversation as a major up-and-coming startup hub. Tech comprises a significant 12.5% <a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2019/03/10/bye-silicon-valley-black-entrepreneurs-part-new-migration-atlanta/2982120002/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-identifies-atlanta-as-next-priority-for-growth-promoting-stem-education-and-college-prep-in-booming-tech-market-2710099" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">of the city’s economy</a>, accounting for $42 billion. In 2018, <a href="https://www.cbre.us/about/media-center/atlanta-among-top-3-markets-of-tech-talent-labor-pool-growth-in-cbres-annual-scoring-tech-talent?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=sylvan-learning-identifies-atlanta-as-next-priority-for-growth-promoting-stem-education-and-college-prep-in-booming-tech-market-2710099" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">CBRE</a> found that Atlanta grew its tech talent pool at the third fastest pace among 50 major U.S. and Canadian markets—even surpassing the San Francisco Bay Area—increasing by 34.7% between 2012 to 2017. CBRE also noted that Atlanta added 9,157 more tech talent jobs than graduates during that time frame, thereby ranking No. 5 among only a handful of markets that reported a “brain gain.”Sylvan Learning is prepared to impart young learners with the skill sets they need for successful careers in technology. The franchise system is the <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning/sylvan-learning-provides-franchisees-with-program-variety-to-diversify-revenue-streams-2705928">largest national branded provider</a> of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) services, with programs in coding, robotics, engineering and even summer camps focusing on STEM. Sylvan students typically see two to three times more growth in math and reading than the national average, and with <a href="https://1851franchise.com/sylvanlearning/how-sylvan-learning-is-evolving-the-definition-of-edtech-2709401#trending">SylvanSync</a>, an iPad-based teaching platform, the brand continues to innovate and engage students to the their fullest potential.Sylvan Learning is also the largest national branded provider of college preparation resources.
