## Story

Mital Rathod was searching for a business to own over the summer when she came across three Sylvan Learning Centers for sale in Fairlawn, Strongsville and Twinsburg, Oh.

According to Akron.com, Rathod acquired the three centers in June and she is excited to work with students to advance their education in preparation for their future careers.

"I don't really view the centers as places of business," Rathod said. "When I first started ownership, I quickly realized it was more about helping kids who were behind, obtain the tools to catch up and for kids who were on pace, accelerate their learning and best set themselves up for success."
