Maths-only learning centres for children, run by a franchisee who leads a team of tutors
Mathnasium runs maths-only learning centres for children, delivering tuition through its own teaching method. It operates more than 45 centres in England and Scotland, as part of a global network of more than 1,300, and has a UK head office team covering education, operations, sales, marketing and systems.
The UK franchise is built as a management business. Franchisees lead a team that delivers the tuition, while Mathnasium provides training, launch support, resources and ongoing research and development.
A franchise for leaders, not maths teachers
Mathnasium says it does not need maths experts. Its UK franchisees come from backgrounds including finance, consulting, technology and education, and no teaching background or maths degree is required. It looks instead for strategic thinking, people management and commercial skills.
Candidates complete an online enquiry, receive the prospectus and have an introductory call. If both sides see a fit and the candidate has the finances to support the investment, Mathnasium invites them to a Discovery Day. Lenders can fund up to 75% of the total cost, and the UK office can advise on available markets in each area.
