Low pay, overcrowded classrooms, inadequate school funding and personal health concerns amid the pandemic prompted nearly a third of teachers to say they were thinking about quitting or retiring, according to a <a href="http://www.horacemann.com/~/media/documents/supplemental/The%20Hidden%20Impact%20of%20COVID-19%20on%20Educators.pdf?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=teachers-turned-franchisees-fuel-sylvan-learnings-mid-year-momentum-32-new-franchise-partners-sign-for-seven-new-locations-and-eight-existing-owner-expansions-2716346" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">recent report</a> conducted by Horace Mann Educators Corporation and <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/14/27percent-of-teachers-are-considering-quitting-because-of-covid-survey.html?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=teachers-turned-franchisees-fuel-sylvan-learnings-mid-year-momentum-32-new-franchise-partners-sign-for-seven-new-locations-and-eight-existing-owner-expansions-2716346" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">published by CNBC</a>.&nbsp;But for Jason Blanshine, a former special education teacher in Delaware who became a Sylvan Learning franchisee in 2020, Sylvan’s effective learning model is what ultimately convinced him to partner with the brand.&nbsp;“The core of the teaching made me most excited,” Blanshine said. “It brings the fun back to teaching, without all the extra things you’re asked of in a public school setting. It allows you to focus more on the student and provides me with a career, rather than just a tutoring side job.”The results of Sylvan’s proprietary <a href="https://www.sylvanlearning.com/personalized-tutoring/sylvan-method?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=teachers-turned-franchisees-fuel-sylvan-learnings-mid-year-momentum-32-new-franchise-partners-sign-for-seven-new-locations-and-eight-existing-owner-expansions-2716346" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Sylvan Method™</a> —&nbsp;developed through academic research, years of teaching experience and technology — speak for themselves.

We are excited to find new partners who want to make a difference in their communities and in the lives of their students.”Learn more at <a href="http://www.sylvanfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=teachers-turned-franchisees-fuel-sylvan-learnings-mid-year-momentum-32-new-franchise-partners-sign-for-seven-new-locations-and-eight-existing-owner-expansions-2716346" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">www.sylvanfranchise.com</a>.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.
