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.
I am a certified teacher in both Alabama and Georgia. I have a master's degree in Early Childhood Education from Berry College. My husband is a veteran and we have been married 18 years. We have 4 wonderful children. After graduating with my master's I subbed at most of the Rome City Schools for 4 years. Then I taught 6th grade English Language Arts for a year.. I love working with small groups or one on one here at Sylvan. I really feel like I can make a difference for these kids. I instruct reading, math, writing, social studies, homework support, study skills, and ACT/SAT prep.
Angela oversees the educational integrity of our programs, managing and training our team of tutors in Rome and Cartersville. Angela brings a wealth of knowledge to Sylvan of Rome. She graduated from Jacksonville State University with her Masters and Undergraduate Degree in History and Secondary Education from Berry College. When Angela isn’t at Sylvan, you’ll find her writing and singing .
I began my career at Sylvan roughly two years ago as a parent volunteer while my son was enrolled as a student. I ended up liking it so much, and had developed such a meaningful connection with the kids, that I decided to start working here. When I'm away from work, you can typically find me with my husband and/or son, and our Maine Coon Cat. I am also a published indie author, so if I'm not with family, I'm usually in my writing cave.
My name is Mary Clark. I have worked for Sylvan of Rome since 2018. I hold a Bachelor's degree and a Master's degree in Early Childhood Education, as well as a Specialist degree in Leadership and Administration. I also hold numerous certifications in reading and child development. My hobbies include reading, painting, and spending time with my loved ones.
I began my career with Sylvan in 2020, shortly after I graduated from Berry College. A tutor and teacher’s assistant throughout his academic career, I had experience assisting students in STEM-related fields and had a strong desire to help the local community as students were struggling with the transition to online learning. I certainly found a place at Sylvan of Rome, where I can work with students studying Mathematics, SAT/ACT Prep, and general homework support. I look forward to continuing my work in the local community and helping the next generation of students excel.
Hi, I am Jan Nisbet; I began my teaching career as the HS choral and drama director at Hononegah HS in Rockton IL. I moved to Chicago and began a professional life in the theatre. After relocating to Rome GA, I worked as the costume designer and shop supervisor for Shorter University. Currently, I am the costume designer for Reinhardt University plus I own a side business JDNisbet Designs. In the spring of 2022, I began teaching students at Sylvan. With educator parents, I have teaching in my blood. It is fitting to end my career back in the classroom where it started.
