Meet the Madison West team

When families choose Sylvan, they’re looking for more than homework help - they want a tailored solution, renewed confidence, and most importantly measurable progress.  Adam and his team of Sylvan certified teachers deliver exactly that.

With more than a decade of experience supporting thousands of Madison‑area students, Adam brings a proven track record of helping children catch up, keep up, and get ahead. His passion for education, combined with a warm, encouraging approach, creates an environment where students feel safe to take risks, build skills, and discover what they’re capable of.

Parents consistently share that Adam is the reason their children not only improve academically but actually enjoy coming to tutoring.  What Madison‑area families say about working with Adam:

“Adam has a passion for math that is infectious … My family and I have felt very supported.” D. H.

"My son said, "Dad how smart do you need to be to take something so complicated and make it so easy?" I said, "you just have to be as smart as Adam.""  M. K.

“My daughter has improved so much over time. She’s always excited to show up! Adam is great and his team is super.” S. F.

“Friendly, well‑trained staff, excellent manager [Adam]. My son expected to hate it and ended up looking forward to going every week.” A. R.

Outside of Sylvan, Adam enjoys traveling with his wife, Alicia, discovering new places, or relaxing at home with their pets - Cayde the dog and Sadie the cat. He’s also a fan of football, pickleball, board and video games, and every now and then he can be talked into running a 5K.
