Have a question? We have the answers!

As a Mathnasium franchisee, you are only required to personally participate in the management and operation of your center(s). However, our goal is to make you comfortable with overseeing all aspects of running the center –– including working with children. Any business operates better when management is hands-on. You should be willing to invest your time and energy in all functions of the center, including teaching, with a plan to hire instructors on an as-needed basis as your enrollment increases.

The hours may vary depending on your location. Most Mathnasium centers are open for instruction after school Monday through Thursday from about 3-7 p.m., and many open on Saturday or Sunday. A typical Mathnasium center will be open at least five days a week, for at least four hours per day, for a total of about 20 hours per week of instruction.

Providing a strong support system to franchisees is key to their success. Our goal is to help you launch your center speedily, comfortably, and confidently. We offer a thorough initial training program that prepares you to open your center, and then we continue to support you in various ways as you establish your operation. Throughout the process, we are always available to answer questions, and if you have a problem, we’ll try to help you solve it.

Our comprehensive ongoing support program includes:

• Franchise Business Consultant performance coaching program
• Tune-up training sessions
• Conventions
• Individual and group telephone conferences
• Email Q & A
• In-person consultation and meetings as necessary
• Timely distribution of marketing and operations materials
• Mathnasium Matters, a continually updated blog that covers everything Mathnasium
• Mathnasium University, an online educational resource for operators to upgrade their franchise knowledge set, at times that best fit their lifestyle

Together, these support services not only provide stability for new franchisees, but also allow easy access to strategies for continued improvement.

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 program in Los Angeles, which includes both classroom and interactive training. Our comprehensive and proven franchisee education program will cover step-by-step use of our 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 Center, you will also have the opportunity to take part in our Apprenticeship program where you will spend one week working hands on in a top-performing center in Los Angeles.

Mathnasium employs a centralized marketing department that supports franchisee needs in 3 ways:

1.) To provide national advertising to build brand awareness across all territories where Mathnasium centers are opened,

2.) To prescribe the systems, training, activities, and vendors that franchisees should use to carry out local-level lead generation and conversion,

3.) To create and distribute the materials, imagery, ads and copy to be used in the local-level marketing systems.

In addition to the centralized marketing team, Mathnasium’s Franchise Business Consultants and Start Up Specialists are well-versed in the methodology to deploy effective marketing at the local level, and are at the service of every Mathnasium franchisee.
