Chris Holman welcomes Jessica Rollins, Multi-Unit Owner, Sylvan Learning Centers, Jackson, MI,
Watch Jessica and Chris discuss how Sylvan Learning impacts Michigan students, grows statewide, and wins a Michigan Celebrates Small Business award in the YouTube video shared below:
TOPIC: Jessica discusses Sylvan’s 35-year impact on the Jackson community, her 11 Sylvan Learning Centers across the state, and her recent MCSB award.
Chris had several questions for Jessica in their discussion:
Jessica, remind the Michigan business community about Sylvan Learning Centers?
What does it mean for you and your team to win a Michigan Celebrates Small Business award?
When students fall behind in school, the ramifications go beyond the academic space. For children, school is a place to develop socially, emotionally and behaviorally while building their confidence in their skillset. When students don’t understand what is going on, they will likely become frustrated and even act out. All of these circumstances come in addition to any academic reflections.
As a previous classroom teacher, what made you transition to Sylvan, and how do you encourage partnership with a student’s school teacher?
You’ve had some quick growth (from 3 centers in 2017 to 11 centers in 2025)-how has your team managed that growth and the changes in roles that come with growth?
Not everyone understands the franchise model, explain how owning a Sylvan allows your customers to get the best of research based results, as well as locally owned engagement?
