Sylvan Learning Opens New Wilton Location

WILTON — Sylvan Learning, a tutoring company devoted to building academic confidence, igniting intellectual curiosity and inspiring a love for learning, is opening a new location in Wilton. The center will celebrate its grand opening on Saturday, Nov. 5 at 14 Mountain Ledge Drive.  This new expansion will add to Sylvan’s Captial Region portfolio, who already have locations in Albany and Clifton Park. The goal is simple,  if a child has fallen behind or is way ahead of the class, Sylvan has a program to challenge each student, build confidence, boost study skills and help deliver better grades. Now more than ever, with many children losing out on learning due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Sylvan learning will be a useful tool to help identify and rectify any gaps in learning that local youth may have suffered. 

The new location will be run by John and Audrey Waterfield, decade-long educators and members of the 518 community. After working for Sylvan Learning in Albany and Clifton Park, in both teaching and administrative roles, the couple saw a need for an individualized learning approach in Saratoga County. 

Audrey worked at Sylvan as a teacher before becoming an administrative manager for Sylvan’s Clifton Park location. John began with the brand when he was hired to fill Audrey’s role as a teacher. As students of Saratoga County return to a regular academic year, Sylvan learning will be a useful tool to help students, parents succeed in a post-COVID world.
