Jan Van Blarcum, Ph.D.
Owner and Founder
In 1999, Jan Van Blarcum, Ph.D.
founded a local tutoring company that catered to the individual needs of
children. As an educator, Dr. Van Blarcum understood the importance of
personalized attention in a child’s educational growth. Her passion for
learning grew into a business endeavor that provides one-on-one tutoring
to children with a variety of learning needs. Every child receives
personalized attention from certified/degreed educators.
When Jan decided to Franchise Creative Tutors in 2004, she began her process and methodology slowly and steadily to perfect the model along the way. She has gained momentum the past few years and in 2008 will officially launch the Creative Tutors Franchise Opportunity. Getting in on the ground floor and learning and growing through the process has made each owner stronger and more powerful during the journey.
Sue Waite-Langley
Western Regional Manager, Operations Manager
Ms. Waite-Langley brings a unique perspective to Creative Tutors 4 Kids. Educated at the University of Connecticut with a BS in Finance; Sue brings over thirty years of diverse professional experience in business management, financial planning, marketing, technology, and fundraising. While her early business experience was in technology sales, she most recently has been involved in many child related activities including working as Business Manager for a small private school and local dance studio and countless hours of volunteer work in support of public school dance programs in the DFW Metroplex. A widow with two grown stepchildren and two daughters in college, Sue is uniquely aware of the varied educational demands and needs of children. She states it best: “The public school system is geared today for the average learner. Exceptionally bright children and children who require extra help in order to progress academically are left out. We stand to lose half of our children – some through boredom – others to frustration.” Her vast professional knowledge, coupled with her personal conviction to meet the educational needs of all children, is a true asset to Creative Tutors. As of August 2008 Sue has relocated to Salt Lake City where she will take on the additional responsibilities of Western Regional Manager.
