I want to find out if I qualify to become a Mathnasium franchisee. What do I do?
Click here to get started and we will send you an email with more information about the Mathnasium franchise. Also, one of our Executive Franchise Development Directors will contact you shortly in order to help answer any additional questions you may have regarding the opportunity. We’re looking forward to speaking with you about the possibility of owning your own Mathnasium Learning Center!
What is the Mathnasium business model and concept?
Mathnasium is an international chain of year-round learning centers where children go to improve their math skills. We are highly specialized; we teach only math. Each franchised center utilizes the Mathnasium Method™, an individually customizable educational curriculum that has been created through over 40 years of classroom experience and research. Mathnasium’s mission: teach children math so they understand it, master, and love it. Math can change their lives, and they can change the world.
Mathnasium centers are open to members at least five days per week during after-school and weekend hours. Children are encouraged to attend 2-3 times weekly for best results. Since 2002, Mathnasium has been making difference in the lives of children. Today, we have more than 1,050 thriving centers across the globe.
What advantages does Mathnasium offer that other franchisors might not?
Most of our franchisees tell us that an important factor in choosing Mathnasium is the nature of the work. They want a personally fulfilling venture as well as a sound financial opportunity. They want to enjoy what they do, and they want to look forward to going to work every day.
Additionally, our franchisees want to own a business that makes a real difference. They work better when they are passionate about what they do. Also, Mathnasium franchisees have found fundamental flaws with other education franchisors, including one or more of the following: high initial fees, huge investment per location, unfair territories, complicated business models and multiple subjects instead of our focused math-only approach. These flaws can diminish results for the children and diminish the value to their parents.
According to a study published by Watson Education in 2019 and commissioned by Mathnasium, our teaching methodology delivers results every day. Mathnasium franchisees also tell us they care about the company and the franchisee community they are joining. They like being part of a franchisor/franchisee community of accomplished and caring individuals. Everyone from our franchisees to our executive team is in alignment: We all want to help children succeed in math.
What is the company history?
In the 1990s, education industry pioneers Peter Markovitz and David Ulendorff recognized that, to truly be successful in school and in life, students need a solid understanding of mathematics. There was a vast disconnect, though, between students’ learning skills and the math curriculum they were taught in school. To address the gap, they founded Mathnasium. After an exhaustive search, they found the perfect person to help them achieve their vision: Larry Martinek, a beloved educator, teacher trainer and curriculum consultant. Larry and Mathnasium’s expert team spend years refining the most powerful teaching methods and materials into the comprehensive, industry-leading Mathnasium Method.
What is a Mathnasium franchise?
