Lynn is a lifelong resident of Minnesota with an AAS in Medical Specialties. Prior to working at Sylvan she spent four years as a reading tutor with kids at the elementary school level. She is passionate about education and building confidence in students. She enjoys seeing her students grow in confidence and achieve success. Watching and helping kids succeed is one of the most fulfilling jobs you could have. When she isn’t at Sylvan you can find her reading, learning, spending time with family and camping.

Jordan Garabedian

Instructor

Jordan is an Aerospace Engineering student at the University of Minnesota. When we say Aerospace, that means TONS of Math and Physics! Since Jordan is still a student, he knows what it is like to be one, and we believe he is more than capable of using his deep knowledge in Math and Physics and his previous interactions in tutoring upper-level students to deliver comfort and excellence to those at Sylvan.

Tracy Smith

Tracy has over 23 years of teaching experience at the elementary level. She has a BS degree in education as well as a Master’s degree in Teaching and Learning.
