## Story

Sylvan Learning of Glenville is locally owned and operated by Audrey and John Waterfield, a local couple with backgrounds in education who met at Niskayung High School and later married. They also own another Sylvan center together in Wilton.

“John and I met here, our kids go to school here and we know firsthand that there’s a desire and need for supplemental education services,” said Audrey. “Growing into Glenville will allow us to serve more families and make a lasting impact on students’ lives.”

The couple both obtained their masters in education before working for several years with Sylvan. Ownership was the next logical step. “Sylvan allows us to maintain a connection to what we love doing, which is teaching,” said John. “We believe in the power of Sylvan’s curriculum, and we’re proud to officially open in our hometown.”

Sylvan Learning serves as a key resource for students as they work to recover from pandemic-related learning loss. Sylvan’s tutoring approach and advanced technology-based curriculum are designed to give each student a personalized, trackable plan to achieve their educational goals.

“We’re excited to open our doors in Glenville and provide a one-stop, all-subject resource to support students through every stage of their academic journey,” said Susan Valverde, Brand President of Sylvan. “Whether a student needs help catching up or advancing their skillset, Sylvan is here to help. I am extremely confident there is no better duo to lead this center than the Waterfields.”

Transform lives with a Sylvan Learning education franchise. Join a leader in personalized tutoring and build a rewarding business in your community.
