- Sylvan Learning (formerly Sylvan Learning Center) is a chain of franchised and corporate tutoring centers which provide personalized tutoring in reading, writing, mathematics, study skills and test preparation for college entrance and state exams. Since June 2007, Sylvan has been owned by Edge Acquisition, LLC, which operates a variety of for-profit educational businesses. Sylvan Learning is headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland. Sylvan Learning began in Portland, Oregon in the early 1980s and was founded by former school teacher W. Berry Fowler. By late 1983, Sylvan was successfully managing multiple franchises in the western USA and moved to suburban Seattle, Washington. The company added more reading programs and math, college prep plus pre-K programs. By 1987 Sylvan had slightly over 500 franchises nationwide and went public on the NASDAQ exchange. By the summer of 1987 most of the stock was acquired by KinderCare, Inc.. In the early 1990s, KinderCare and Sylvan were spun off into separate companies, and Sylvan's headquarters were relocated to Baltimore. In 2003, the company was bought by a private ownership group known as Educate, Inc. Today, there are Sylvan Learning centers in all fifty states, at over 1,000 locations.
