Sylvan Learning Featured on Delaware State News: “Tutors Ease the Burden on Delaware Students’ Learning Load”

Jason Blanshine, a new franchisee for Sylvan Learning, in Lewes, Delaware spoke with Delaware State News on how his center is providing supplemental support to local students struggling this school year through hybrid learning and less interaction with teachers. Sylvan Learning, a 750-point of presence K-12 supplemental and enrichment education company, provides a support program for students learning from home this year. Blanshine discussed the specific need for extra guidance during learning from home this school year.

“We’ve seen a lot of different students, really, both those that are interested in enrichment services, and those that are looking to close gaps that may have been there long before COVID,” he said.

“Parents just don’t want to be responsible for their children learning,” Blanshine said. “They’ll be the first to tell you that they’re not teachers and they want to make sure that their child isn’t falling behind on their watch.”

Blanshine, a former special education teacher and tutor, also described why he chose to open his Sylvan Learning center in Lewes during the pandemic.
