Sylvan Learning Centers Program Manager/Center Director reviews

The best part of working at Sylvan is the flexibility that has been given to me as a Director of a Center. While the instruction all takes place after school, I am responsible for my schedule up until then. I can choose when to schedule my meetings with parents, classroom teachers when I am going to market Sylvan in the community. I love meeting with parents and working with teachers to personalize learning plans for each and every student. It is so great to work with such a variety of kids on a daily basis. I started working at a different center as an Instructor while in graduate school. I showed initiative to learn more about the business side of Sylvan and transitioned from Instructor to Director of Education to eventually Center Director. I had a great support system in place through all of the transitions. I have learned a lot about operating a business, which I know will help me to further my career.

It's nice to wake up every day knowing that your hard work will make a difference! Rather the student is a 1st grader learning how to read or an adult trying to pass the GED, Sylvan produces results and delivers on educational investments! I have never worked with an expert group of teachers and managers like I have at Sylvan. I have grown leaps and bounds in the past three years and gained invaluable experience in customer service, management and sales. Training and development opportunities are at your finger tips every step of the way. Sylvan has extensive web-based and in-person trainings designed to develop and support staff; Sylvan truly cares about growing their employees! I feel we have a team atmosphere and always plenty of support to help centers, students, and families achieve excellent academic growth and customer service. I love working at Sylvan and can see myself here for many years to come.
