Do I have to teach children myself?

As a Mathnasium franchisee, you are only required to personally participate in the management and operation of your centre(s). However, our goal is to make you comfortable with overseeing all aspects of running the centre-including working with children. Any business operates better if you’re hands-on. Your plan will include hiring instructors on an as-needed basis as your enrolment increases, but you should be willing to invest your time and energy in all functions of the centre, including teaching as needed.

What are the typical hours of operation?

The hours may vary depending on your location, but most Mathnasium centres are open for instruction after school Monday until Thursday from about 3pm to 7pm, and some open on Saturday or Sunday too. A typical Mathnasium centre will be open five days a week for about 20 hours per week of instruction.

What type of training does Mathnasium provide?

You will start with 40 to 50 hours of online interactive training. This is done in the comfort of your home and will prepare you for Mathnasium’s one-week Initial Training programme in our UK Franchising Head Office, which includes both classroom and interactive training. Our comprehensive and proven franchisee education program will cover step-by-step use of the operations manual and all the areas important to your success as a franchise owner.

Most importantly, you will be trained and supported on an ongoing basis by our dedicated franchise support team who will be there when you need help. The cost of this initial training is included in your franchise fee. You will be responsible only for your travel expenses. Before opening your Mathnasium Learning Centre, you will also have the opportunity to take part in our Apprenticeship program where you will spend one week working hands on in one of our UK centres.
