Melinda Fortier
Center Director / Regional Manager
I am from Roanoke Rapids and helped start the Roanoke Rapids center in 2004. I graduated from Barton College and have over 10 years of business experience. As Director and part owner of the center, I am thankful to have the opportunity to work with and help so many families. As a mother of two boys and an educator, I know that Sylvan gives students an academic advantage no matter where their skill are currently or what they need help with.

I have been a teacher at Northeast Academy for 25 years and a tutor at Sylvan for almost 7 years. I enjoy being able to explain things to students who are having trouble understanding. I also enjoy the personal relationships with the students at Sylvan. I love the progress we see with the Sylvan programs.

Kristen Taylor

I have been teaching Kindergarten at Northeast Academy for 5 years. The thing I love best about Sylvan and teaching in general is the excitement of teaching young ones to read and introducing them to the love of books.
Stephanie Horton

I teach 4th grade at Manning Elementary and have been teaching in NC for 7 years. I love to read and teach reading. At Sylvan, I love being able to give each student the personal attention they need.
