About Us

When you invest in a franchise you want to know that you will receive the support that you need. That is, to a large extent what you are paying the franchise fees for.

Some franchisees may have a history of working in education and feel that it is the running of the business aspect that they require support in. Others may be confident in running a business but less confident about the education/ tutoring aspect of the franchise. Others may require support with both.

You’ll Recieve World-class Training

• Prior to the intensive week of training in Aylesbury (or 2 weeks online if still in lockdown) you will receive an introductory manual which will walk you through setting up your bank account, registering with relevant bodies, etc.
• Your experience with us would then continue with the intensive training. During this time we would go through everything from marketing (Facebook ads, Google ads, Google My Business, a Facebook page to name but a few) and who you might want to market to. We will look at the process to go through when a family gets in touch. Meeting them and ensuring that you can give genuine help and support rather than coming across as a pushy salesperson. We will explore planning the lesson, creating resources, carrying out the lesson, receiving feedback and referrals and using this to grow your business.

The support doesn’t stop there

The support doesn’t stop there. Once a fortnight we will schedule a phone call with your personal mentor, you can use this time to get the answers to any questions that you may have and talk about goals you have and any support you may need in implementing them.

Comprehensive training manuals will contain a lot of the answers you may seek. You will have a hard copy but also access to the online version in password protected portal. These cover recruiting tutors, all the systems covered in the initial training week, resources, the training to support you with working with those with specific learning difficulties.
