Being a franchisee of a global brand means getting world-class support, and Mathnasium\u2019s recent international convention showcased exactly what that means for the owners of 1,100 maths tuition centres worldwide.<\/p>\n

The convention focuses on knowledge-sharing among franchisees as much as it does on updates and innovations from the brand\u2019s global Head Office. With so many franchisees discussing their own experiences, successes and challenges, the result is a powerful force for local growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was absolutely amazing,\u201d says John Preston, Mathnasium\u2019s UK Master Franchisee. \u201cWe only have 13 centres in the UK but there are over 1,100 around the world and the learning they bring makes you realise you\u2019re part of a big community.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like having the best possible business mentors \u2013 they\u2019re running the same business as you, they want you to succeed and the more we grow together, the more powerful the brand behind our businesses grows too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Along with speakers including the founder of the Mathnasium Method, Larry Martinek, break-out sessions covered every aspect of growing a Mathnasium centre from launch to managing multi-site expansion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was something for all of us whichever stage we were at as a franchisee,\u201d says John. \u201cIt included a review of the last 12 months and a preview of the next and covered everything from tech to marketing and business systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe level of science and educational knowledge that goes into everything is phenomenal. Whether you\u2019re new to Mathnasium or a Master Franchisee, there\u2019s something for everyone there. The convention was brilliant, and because it was recorded we can go back and watch it again.<\/p>\n

\u201cMany of our franchisees are growing so fast, that watching a discussion regarding multi-site expansion isn\u2019t currently on their radar, but in six months\u2019 time it\u2019s relevant. When it is relevant they have access to their business consultant, although sometimes hearing it from a franchisee that has been there, done that is best. Well now they can access that knowledge when it\u2019s relevant.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s propelling our businesses up to the next level.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jeff Akwaboah is Mathnasium\u2019s newest UK franchisee, with his centre in Winchmore Hill launching in the next month or so. Despite not opening his doors yet, Jeff says he gained a huge amount from the event.<\/p>\n

\u201cConvention gave an insight to the way other centres operate globally, and especially as I am not open yet, it provided good guidance into the dos and don\u2019ts. It was nice to get live and direct advice and dialogue between successful centre owners.<\/p>\n

\u201cA key takeaway for me was highlighting the importance of taking the parent through an experience \u2013 from the first moment they walk into the door, to when they sign-up, and then the ongoing relationship during the membership. This was so useful for me as I open my centre.\u201d<\/p>\n

After a record-breaking year which saw revenues more than double across the UK network during the pandemic, several new Mathnasium centres are in development and set to open by the end of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
