## Story

Sylvan Learning, a leading provider of supplemental and enrichment education for students in grades K-12 with more than 710 points of presence worldwide, is now expanding its footprint to Chapel Hill with Dave Rosenbaum's signing for his tenth location.

This new signing brings the leading technology and education franchise statewide count to 27, with an opportunity to add more than a dozen locations across the state.

Rosenbaum holds an MBA from the University of Pennsylvania and is celebrating his 20 year anniversary as a Sylvan franchisee. After graduation, he worked for large corporations including Haines and Nabisco. While working in marketing and management, he began teaching college courses to returning adult students in his free time. He realized he found more joy and satisfaction in the field of education, so he left his corporate position to open his first Sylvan in Cary, NC 20 years ago. Now, he is opening his tenth location in Chapel Hill.

- I enjoyed working in the corporate world, but after a while, I realized I wanted to do something with education because it was more personally satisfying and meaningful to me.
- I wanted to have an impact on the future and Sylvan is a great combination of business and education, so I can still utilize my skill set.

For more than 40 years, Sylvan Learning has been focused on building academic confidence, igniting intellectual curiosity and inspiring a love for learning — all of which make a big impact in school and in life. Since its founding in 1979, Sylvan Learning has become the leading supplemental and enrichment education franchise in North America thanks to its mission-driven philosophy, educational technology, community-oriented approach, proven results and strong franchisee support infrastructure.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sylvan Learning has worked hard to support parents and to help children get caught up after set-backs since spring of 2020. By offering a much-needed service after many difficult years of schooling and significant learning loss for children because of COVID-19, Sylvan Learning franchisees have the opportunity to help a growing number of families across America.

- Dave will be able to make a difference in his community by bringing Sylvan Learning to the families of Chapel Hill.
- The Sylvan Learning system is stronger, more nimble and more united than ever. We have ramped up our already-strong training for instruction, local marketing and technology for our franchise owners and expanded our reach for families and students. There is more demand for our services than ever, and we are excited to continue partnering with qualified franchisees to bring Sylvan Learning to new areas across the country.

With more than 40 years of experience and more than 710 points of presence, Sylvan Learning is the leading provider of personal learning for students in grades K-12. Sylvan is transforming how students learn, inspiring them to succeed in school and in life. Sylvan's proven tutoring approach blends amazing teachers with SylvanSync™ technology on the iPad® for an engaging learning experience. Sylvan also leads the way with Sylvan EDGE — STEM and accelerated courses and Sylvan Prep — college and test prep courses. Sylvan supports families through every stage of the academic journey.
