The Press & Crow River News: Area Mother, Daughter to Open Learning Center in Albertville

Suzanne and Morgan Flottmeier have always had a close relationship. In 1998, Suzanne left her job in the investment industry to raise her two children. Suzanne raised her daughter, Morgan, until she went to college in Texas. During her time in Texas, Morgan pursued a degree in history and Latin while tutoring. Upon graduating, she moved to Delaware to work for Sylvan Learning, a K–12 supplemental education brand, where she eventually moved up the ranks as a center director. Eager to get closer to her family, Morgan wanted to bring the tutoring services back to her home state.

The Flottmeiers are excited to team up to tutor children in the community they have called home for over 30 years.

“Having lived in an adjacent area for so long, we saw how Albertville had grown and evolved and realized that there was a developing need for what we wanted to offer with Sylvan,” said Suzanne Flottmeier, co-owner of Sylvan Learning in Albertville. “After speaking with some parents in the area, we felt that there was a lack of academic support, which we thought we could help rectify. Additionally, the head of the Department of Education recently stated that over 250,000 tutors would be needed to help students overcome COVID learning loss.”

The Flottmeiers hope to break ground on the new center this fall.
