Join the UK’s fastest growing tuition franchise

Not only will you be joining one of the UK's leading tuition franchises, there are many other benefits of opening a tuition centre with First Class Learning. Of course, you'll love the reward of working with the children and improving their outcomes. On top of that, you'll enjoy a flexible lifestyle where your business works around you, and you can confidently deliver our highly regarded maths and English programmes in a structured way.

First Class Learning is a great option for those looking for a part time franchise opportunity. Due to the flexible nature of how FCL works, as a franchisee you will choose when to open your tuition centre for classes. This means you are free to run your centre around another job, or family commitments. Our flexible model makes it equally well-suited to franchisees who wish to make running their Centres their full time job

We allocate tuition centre territories by individual postcode (for example SW19, M11, B3, and so on). These are priced based on their individual demographics including population.

Many First Class Learning tuition centres provide an excellent opportunity for high-attaining undergraduates to gain valuable work experience in a setting where they can respond to queries and assist with the smooth running of the centre.

First Class Learning is proud of having a flexible working culture which provides a level of autonomy to its Centre Managers. We are primarily here to support Centre Managers with Head Office staff dedicated to that sole purpose. You have the chance to shape the culture and environment of your tuition centres and your business while encouraging your students to reach their potential. You would also be part of our community of 250 other franchisees, all running FCL Centres. This community of Centre Managers communicate with each regularly via our dedicated discussion forum, the 'FCL Hub', which provides a wonderful opportunity to share ideas, advice and best practice across the network. We also have an annual conference where all Centre Managers meet up to share experiences and celebrate successes.

As a First Class Learning centre manager, you will receive lots of franchise training when you join the network. Firstly, there is an intensive three-day training course covering each of the core programmes as well as how to assess students and plan their progression. Subsequently, there are various support structures: Head Office support (including a full online Operations Manual), a mentoring scheme, Business Booster workshops and, of course, your ever-helpful fellow Centre Managers who are accessible via our closed online network. When you open a tuition centre with First Class Learning you'll be surrounded by advice and guidance to help your business become a success. There is also a marketing starter package - the FCL Accelerator (see below) - which is run so that we can work closely with you to set up all of your social media requirements, amongst other things, with the minimum of fuss and effort on your part.

The most desirable attributes are fluent communication skills and a passion for working with children. Although some of our tuition centre managers join First Class Learning as an alternative to teaching, you will be fully trained to deliver the First Class Learning tuition programmes, so while teaching experience would be beneficial, it is not a requirement. Other attributes, such as business experience are also helpful, however again full training and support is given in these aspects too. An adequate level of education to degree standard or equivalent would be expected.

FCL currently has over 15,000 maths and English worksheets to choose from so we ensure you are trained and equipped to test the ability of each student accurately using our unique skills assessment tests to help you and focus tightly on their individual needs – helping to This will ensure that you keep them happy, interested and challenged all at the same time!
