The Beach Reporter: Single Mom and U.S. Air Force Veteran Becomes Sylvan Learning Franchisee

Challenging opportunities are nothing new to Amber Castillo. The single mother of three, U.S. Air Force Veteran and 12-year teacher has long proven she can do just about anything. She has even recently added business owner to her list of accomplishments, opening a Sylvan Learning Center in Hermosa Beach, California.

According to The Beach Reporter, Castillo was drawn to Sylvan because of its ability to motivate and help children of all ages to achieve their goals. She was also hoping that by taking on this role she could be a role model to her three children.

“It was my first time running a business and I’m doing it all on my own, so I wanted the support and experience of a successful franchise,” Castillo told The Beach Reporter. “For all of these reasons, I chose Sylvan as my next step for my family, my community and myself.”

Castillo plans to staff her Sylvan Learning center with local California teachers and engineers.
