Sylvan Learning offers tutoring services from its new location in Sugar Land’s Greatwood community.

What it offers

Owned by franchisee Zibaa Gowani, the business offers supplemental education for kindergarten through 12th-grade students. In addition to tutoring services, certified teachers also offer SAT and ACT test preparation, Gowani said.

“We have a really personalized tutoring approach compared to other companies, so we take in assessments, get kids' results and align them with what they need to learn, their specific learning gaps or if they’re ahead for their grade level, for example,” she said. “[We're] kind of continuing their learning journey where they are in their life.”

What else


Gowani is also the owner of a Sylvan Learning in Katy’s Cinco Ranch area, which opened in March.

“I’m just very passionate about learning and education and being able to provide that to students across the Houston area,” she said. “I really believe that education empowers students to become independent in life and grow and have a very good life and career.”
