A franchise with MagiKats Tuition Centres offers you the chance to build a substantial business whilst giving back to the community by educating the next generation in Maths and English.
If you are in education but want to regain control of your “free” time then MagiKats could be for you.
If you simply feel you need to be your own boss, but with the support of a proven system that has been successfully operating for over 20 years, then MagiKats could be for you.
What Is MagiKats?
MagiKats Tuition Centres are unique – they each follow the same system but also reflect the personality of the person in charge.
Every MagiKats Tuition Centre offers out of school tutoring in maths, English and reasoning, for children from pre-school to GCSE (National 5 in Scotland).
Every MagiKats Tuition Centre offers an individual programme for each of its students, ensuring they get the support they need, no matter their situation.
Every MagiKats Tuition Centre is run to certain standards and uses our bespoke, KATS online system to prepare and manage work for every individual.
Every MagiKats Tuition Centre fits into its community – tailoring its provision to the demands of local families.
What Are The Benefits of Joining the MagiKats Network?
Support. Pure and simple.
As a family business, we know how important it is that your business works for you and your family – whatever shape or form that takes. We provide a proven system and training methods to ensure you know how to deliver effective tutoring in your local area. We provide all the sales and marketing tools you need to build that business. We provide you with a single point of contact for all your questions – but at the same time access to a wide network of similarly minded individuals who are also doing what you are doing. What you provide is motivation, energy and your personality.
Potential.
Every business is unique, and every business owner has their own goals. At MagiKats, we don’t have performance targets or penalties for our smaller businesses. If that’s what we agree works for you, then that’s great. At the same time, we support those looking for a significant business opportunity operating across multiple sites. Whatever works. We just want kids to benefit from studying MagiKats.
How Do I Get Involved?
Once you enquire, then we will send you more detailed information about us and the opportunity. When you are ready, by far the best next step to take is to meet us. Only by doing that can you really understand our family, our business and our ambition. We want to meet you and discover if you are the right fit for us, and us for you. These sessions are now run online, but you are welcome to come and meet us face to face if you prefer – and you can then see our fabulous workshops in the flesh too!

What Is The Investment?
The cost of the franchise is £9,500 and you will need up to £2,500 for setup costs and equipment purchase (laptop and printer).
MagiKats believe that you should have flexibility over how you charge for the services you provide, without worrying about how that impacts on your costs. With that in mind, they do not charge an ongoing percentage based on your turnover like many franchises. Instead, they charge two types of fixed fee each month - a support fee and a materials fee.
Financing:
If you need a small business loan, MagiKats can introduce you to the franchise departments at most major banks that can, subject to status, help you with funding.
You may even qualify for a Government backed Business Start-Up Scheme loan which allows an individual to borrow up to £25,000 without having to invest any money of their own. MagiKats are more than happy to discuss this option in more detail with you.
What Territories Are Available?
We have single and multi-unit franchises available across the UK. Multi-unit franchises are currently available at a discounted rate.

MagiKats Tutoring announces franchisee-led recruitment initiative
MagiKats Tutoring, a leading provider of private tuition workshops in maths and English, has announced that its franchisees in Lincoln, Katie Christopher and Ronnie Byrne, will spearhead the company’s franchise recruitment efforts.
Drawing on their first-hand experience as franchise owners, they will play a pivotal role in connecting with prospective franchisees and sharing the unique benefits of joining the nationwide network.
Sarah Marsh, Director of Operations said, “By placing recruitment in the hands of Katie and Ronnie, we’re able to ensure future MagiKats owners can gain unique insights directly from our existing franchisees. Their enthusiasm for teaching and drive to grow their business is infectious and so they’re excellent ambassadors for the network. The initiative shows our commitment to sustainable expansion and highlights the trust and confidence we have in our franchisees to help shape the future of the brand.”
MagiKats Tutoring has been established for more than 20 years and provides educational support for children of all ages, offering small group workshops in maths and English that build skills, boost confidence, and inspire a lifelong love of learning.
Katie and Ronnie joined the network two years ago. While studying at university, Katie worked for MagiKats in Hove as a mentor, and it was this positive experience that led her to aspire to running her own centre. After completing her degree and spending time as a 1-2-1 private tutor, she returned to her home town of Lincon, joining partner Ronnie to take the leap of starting their own business. Ronnie’s previous career in hospitality and publishing gave him valuable business skills that they’ve been able to utilise when running their own MagiKats centre.
Ronnie said, “We’re excited to be the first port of call for prospective franchisees. Being still relatively new to the network, we’ve got recent experience of starting from the ground up in our location and so can offer valuable advice and support to new recruits joining the network.”
“It's MagiKats Tutoring’s unique family orientated and supportive network that really sets it apart from other tuition franchises,” Katie added. “Beyond its appeal to students and parents, it provides a strong benefit for new franchisees with HQ support and the franchise network on hand to help you every step of the journey. Plus, of course, the franchise package covers everything needed to offer effective and engaging tuition, from proven education programmes to structured guidance on business planning and operational support.”
Ronnie continued, “For us, we wanted to really hit the ground running and so fully dedicated 100% to our business. As the saying goes, ‘you get what you put in’ and that focus has enabled us to exceed our original targets and run multiple workshops four days a week at our own dedicated premises. That said, the MagiKats model is flexible, others may choose to grow at a different pace, perhaps starting part time alongside teaching, supplementing their income, or building their tutoring business around family commitments. The opportunity allows franchisees to shape their business in the way that best fits their lifestyle and goals.”
MagiKats Tutoring is a member of the British Franchise Association and The Tutors’ Association. Franchisees operate within territory areas and can offer in-person or remote tutoring. With almost 30% of children receiving tuition of some kind during their schooling, the private tuition market is a multi-billion pound sector that continues to grow.
Sarah concluded, “We want more children to experience the benefits of our education programmes and so are looking for additional franchisees to support this. While it may seem natural to assume franchisees need a teaching background, it isn’t essential. Comprehensive training in the MagiKats systems and educational programme is provided as part of the franchise package. What matters most is a passion for education and a genuine enjoyment of working with children.”
