Certified teachers, local school know-how, and a director who reviews every student’s plan personally. These are the people your child will high-five on the way in.

Center director

Rachelle Cintron

As Center Director and Owner, Rachelle is responsible for welcoming in all our families for Sylvan of Port St. Lucie. A former St. Lucie County and Palm Beach County Educator for 25 years, Rachelle chose a career in the tutoring business because of the need in our county for personalized tutoring.  She studied at Florida Atlantic College and Arkansas State University where she holds a Bachelor's and Master's in Education and a Specialist Degree in K-12 Educational Leadership. When Rachelle isn’t at Sylvan, you’ll find her traveling the world with her husband or spending time with her adult children and their spouses.
