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.
Ron and Char began Butte Sylvan Learning in December of 1993. They also own the Sylvan in Helena. Ron has been teaching math since 1970 and still loves every minute of it. Char runs the Helena Sylvan and in her spare time loves to scrapbook. Both Ron and Char can be found on the golf course when the Butte weather allows. They are committed to ensuring that the Butte and Helena students have Sylvan as a partner in education.
As Center Director, Kristel will be the first person you speak with when calling our center. She began working at Sylvan in 1994 and has enjoyed every minute of her time here. Kristel loves spending time with family, reading, and volunteering when she isn't at Sylvan. Some of you may know her as the Sunrise Kiwanis Secretary and the Chairperson of Butte's Bring Up Grades ( B.U.G.) program. She became the District Secretary for Montana Kiwanis in 2020.
