Furthermore, in your first month we discount your franchise fee 100% and then provide a 50% discount on your franchise fee for a further three months.

We will create your microsite, so that you can shout about your successes or latest promotions. Your personalised centre page allows you to tell the world about yourself, your centre and what’s unique about it. You can personalise your site by adding testimonials, posting news items related to your area or blogging about the activities at your centre.
All centre managers also have access to a private forum, allowing managers to share in each other’s successes and discuss any business-related matters they encounter.

We've optimised our online marketing strategy, combining the online presence of all 250+ centres.

The more you talk about what you're doing at your centre, the higher First Class Learning ranks on search engines such as Google, both locally and nationally.

Producing content for your centre helps to put our company, and every individual franchise, at the top of the page in searches for English and maths tuition.

Furthermore, to make running and marketing your centre easier, we've added a host of materials for you to order online - whenever you need them.

Our business model ensures you get a high percentage of profits, as your class grows. You can choose the days and times that suit your venues, as well as the fee structure for your centre.

With different ways to setup and run your centre, there's enough flexibility to work around your circumstances.

Our aim is to support you every step of the way to achieve your goals as a centre manager.

Our maths and English programmes have been created by a team of qualified specialists, with a wealth of experience in the education sector. All of our resources are designed to meet the learning objectives of the National Curriculum for England and Wales and the Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland.

As no two children are alike, we start by assessing every child - irrespective of their age or ability. As the centre manager, you will be provided with the tools and training to complete comprehensive diagnostic assessments in both maths and English. By determining a child's strengths and the areas they need to work on, you will be able to create a unique learning programme for every child.

With over 250 learning centres, we are the largest and fastest growing network of tuition centres in the UK.

When you open your own centre, you are in good company with a close network of centre managers - some with over 20 years of tuition centre experience. Whilst you will bring your own experiences and personal approach to your centre, you are very much part of a larger, organisation.

You are also working with a trusted and respected national brand, and your customers will recognise that your First Class Learning centre offers them the best value for money and service in your area.
