## Story

**Sylvan Learning** **franchisee and former public school teacher Amanda Cochran spoke with** **WilmingtonBiz** **about her recent acquisition of the Wilmington** **Sylvan Learning** **location.**

**Cochran, already a Sylvan franchisee with a location in Jacksonville, NC, told WIlmingtonBiz that she didn’t set out to find a second location, but saw compelling growth potential in the Wilmington franchise and believed it could be just as successful as her Jacksonville location.**

**"It was not something I was pursuing. I was very content with just having one center in Jacksonville, but after coming and seeing the center, I just felt like we've been very successful in Jacksonville and we could bring the Wilmington center to that same level of success," Cochran said. "I believe in Sylvan; I believe in what we do and helping children become academically successful.**

**Cochran says the locations are now back to in-person instruction and demand is high, as parents have seen their children struggling to learn from home.**
