If you are lucky enough to land an interview, make some effort and conduct research on the opportunity. There are many tutoring companies out there, what makes Sylvan a company that you want to work for? Think about how this job will help you in your career. What about the role initially caught your attention? What about the company impressed you? It's important for you to know not only what you have to offer them, but what they can do for you.
While your passion and excitement about the job are important, it's always good to have some hard facts to back it up. For instance, saying 'I have heard great things about your institution and I know I would be a great fit for this job', is not very specific. If you find recent news articles or press releases which talk about their accomplishments, mention how that impressed you.

"I am excited about this opportunity because your values are very much in line with mine. I am a firm believer in the power of personalized education. I deeply care about helping students succeed and I know that sometimes that success comes from getting extra help outside of the classroom. If hired I would bring my passion into my role as a teacher."
