Sylvan Learning Opens New Center in Altoona

Sylvan Learning has opened its newest franchise location in Altoona, Iowa at 301 Center Place near Hy-Vee.

Sylvan Learning Altoona is locally owned by Angela and Nic Jones, residents of the area for more than 17 years. Angela comes from a career in marketing and will work for the center full time. Nic grew up in Altoona and currently works for a utilities company as an engineer. They learned firsthand about the power of Sylvan when their daughter needed educational support in elementary school, but drove a distance to get there.

“We’re proud to bring Sylvan closer to home and help families in Altoona and the surrounding communities,” said Angela. “There is nothing like Sylvan in Altoona, and we know it’s going to make a positive impact on students’ academic success.”

Sylvan Learning has been producing proven results for over four decades. Now, it serves as a key resource for students as they work to recover from pandemic-related learning loss. Sylvan’s proven tutoring approach and advanced technology-based curriculum are designed to give each student a personalized, trackable plan to achieve their educational goals.

“We’re proud to open our doors in Altoona and provide a one-stop, all-subject resource to support students through every stage of their academic journey,” said John McAuliffe, CEO of Sylvan. “Whether a student needs help catching up or advancing their skillset, Sylvan is here to help, and there is no one better to lead this center than Angela and Nic.”
