Meet the Surrey - White Rock team

As Centre Director, Melanie uses her leadership, organizational, and interpersonal skills to ensure that students at our White Rock/South Surrey location receive individual attention to boost their learning and self-confidence. Melanie graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1990 with a teaching degree and strong background in math and sciences. She began her career with Sylvan in 1992 as a teacher, and soon worked her way up to Centre Director. She continually inspires her students. "If you believe, you can achieve," she says. "I love empowering kids to reach their goals."

Cheryl holds a Bachelor of Arts, an Early Childhood education certificate, and has held a wide-range of positions, from teacher to flight attendant and, most recently, published author.
