WILMA: Sylvan Learning of Wilmington and Jacksonville, North Carolina Help Parents Navigate the Online Classroom

The Sylvan Learning centers of Wilmington and Jacksonville, North Carolina have been working with parents to alleviate the stress and confusion surrounding online learning.

The Sylvan Learning in Jacksonville has always had strong ties to Onslow schools and according to an article from the December issue of WILMA , existing Sylvan franchisee Amanda Cochran plans to make similar inroads into the New Hanover School District after taking over a Sylvan location in Wilmington.

“Sylvan has actually been in Wilmington for several decades,” she says, “but I’m not sure the community really knows that. We want Sylvan to be the name that families and teachers think of if a student needs extra help,” Cochran told WILMA. “We want more students. That’s just the nature of business. But more importantly, we want to be a partner with the community.”

Cochran, a former teacher, worked as the director of the Jacksonville Sylvan Learning for several years before purchasing the location. Both the Jacksonville and Wilmington locations are open for in-person instruction with comprehensive social distancing and sanitation protocols.
