## Story

**According to the Rockwell Banner****, local resident Mark Dempsey is opening a** **Sylvan Learning** **center in Rockwell, Texas this June, offering virtual and in-person tutoring for students K-12. As schools close out the school year with virtual tutoring due to the coronavirus pandemic,** **Sylvan Learning** **provides parents who are learning to become at-home teachers the support and instruction they need to help their children continue with their education.**

**“We were already planning on opening the center, but when COVID-19 hit and parents were suddenly having to help their kids with their work at home, that pushed us to speed up the process,” Dempsey told the Rockwell Banner. “Also, with the kids’ sudden move to learning at home this year, many will need extra work this summer to keep them on track for next year.”**

**Not only is Dempsey opening in Rockwall, but he also owns territories in Bedford and Richardson. Dempsey also plans to open a location in Weatherford by the end of the year.**
