No. 93 of the UK's Top 100 in 2022
Mathnasium offers primary and secondary school math programmes to help children understand and love maths. The instructional approach goes beyond traditional maths tutoring to develop confidence towards maths. Tutoring with Mathnasium is for children who have difficulties with the subject but also for students who already excel in maths and want to go further. The franchisee’s days will be spent creating relationships in their community – with schools, with parents, with the students who will visit the centre, and with their own employees. Recruiting instructors is part of the franchisee’s role, to ensure every child gets the attention they need and deserve.
