Sylvan Learning Testimonials
I believe that the competition is more focused on churning kids in and out and we’re really driven to identify the specific needs and send happy kids out into the community. The new license agreement provided me some opportunities where the cost to become more convenient to our families in our territory have gone down so I’m able to serve more families on fewer dollars and that’s definitely made a huge difference, which is why I did expand. I also did open a new territory and part of that was the required times to be open in the new License Agreement made it where it’s more economical to pursue that opportunity. I love making a difference; I’m in rotary, I’m volunteering all over the place and my business is making a difference in my community. That’s why I’m a Sylvan Learning Center owner, that’s what makes me feel good every day. I love going to work, I get to sleep at night and I have a great career!

I love being a business owner in my community. And Sylvan’s modular STEM programs and cutting edge technology create opportunities to work with both schools and families, allowing for multiple revenue streams. Being a multi-unit franchisee creates an economy of scale which lets me market more effectively. I know we’re making a difference in the lives of our students and that’s what we work for every day.
Rand Bleimeister, Sylvan Franchisee,
Sylvan Learning
I have worked in other industries where the opportunity to make significant income and grow your career is available. However, if that is the sole motive in your work, income alone can become an empty fulfillment. What I have found in Sylvan is the ability to maintain both of those opportunities, while offering a service that leaves lifelong influence and has ability to change a child or adolescent’s life. The income is rewarding, but the vehicle with which we do it through is even more so. It makes it easy to get up and come to work each day when that is the case.
