## Story

Sylvan Learning awarded two territories to Marty Conner in Indian Land, South Carolina and Stallings, North Carolina. The Indian Land location is slated to open this summer.

Conner tutored at Sylvan Learning more than 30 years ago and spent his career in education as a teacher, principal and assistant superintendent, among other roles in the industry. He has called Indian Land and the nearby town of Stallings home for more than 20 years and currently resides there with his family.

“I’m proud to bring Sylvan to my hometown,” said Conner. “I’ve spent decades developing relationships with my local community and colleagues in education. These locations will be a natural extension of the local school district and add another layer of support for students who need it most, which include my own children who attend local schools in the territory.”

It was the people and the product that brought Conner back to his roots at Sylvan. “I know Sylvan’s excellence in education firsthand and have seen the results it provides for scholars, which is highly regarded by parents and educators. I also believe in the people who will support me at Sylvan. They share my passion for serving our students, helping them perform at high levels and seeing their inevitable success."

Sylvan Learning has been producing proven results for over four decades. Now, it serves as a key resource as students nationwide work to recover from pandemic-related learning loss. Similarly, more educators than ever are exploring business ownership with the brand to provide personalized educational support to their communities.

“Educators make ideal Sylvan owners, and Marty is a testament to that,” said Jeff Stephenson, Vice President of Franchise Development at Sylvan Learning. “His relationships within these communities and his heart for serving students make him a perfect fit to develop these two territories. We look forward to witnessing his success.”
