Education Franchises
First Class Learning — British Franchise Association member

First Class Learning is a personalised maths and English tutoring service for children of all ages.

First Class Learning Education Franchise Opportunity

First Class Learning is a network of after-school tuition services, that provide English and Maths coaching for children from the ages of 4 to 16.

The franchise’s programme covers National Curriculum needs from Reception through to GCSE, and is designed to help children gain confidence and improve their abilities in these subjects, in line with the specific learning outcomes of their particular curriculum.

What are the requirements?

  • First and foremost, you’ll need to be passionate about working with children and share the values of First Class Learning.
  • You’ll need to be motivated to run your own business and have a desire to help children overcome obstacles in English and maths.
  • Many First Class Learning franchisees are former teachers who want to continue working with children, but without the pressures and restrictions that come with working in a school.
  • Less marking, more flexible working and regaining the enjoyment of teaching are all reasons that former teachers give for taking up a First Class Learning franchise.

What do I get?

First Class Learning initially provides an intensive two day training course. Following this, you will have access to the ‘operations manual’, an extensive bank of resources to help you open and run a centre. You will also be provided with tried and tested study materials available in print and on demand through a simple ordering system and a full range of marketing materials created to help you promote your business.

For your first few months, you will also have access to a mentoring programme, connecting you with an experienced centre manager. You will also have your own dedicated online space to post your centre’s news, activities and achievements. As a First Class Learning franchisee you’ll be joining a respected and nationally recognised brand, which means that customers will recognise that your centre offers them the best value for money in your area.

Testimonials

  • Prof Joern Dosch (Leeds)

    "First Class Learning has made a real difference to Nils. Before he joined FCL he struggled a lot with maths and was not motivated because he found it hard to follow the lessons in school. FCL taught him to work independently, gave him the confidence he needed, and brought him up to the expected level – and even beyond. At the end of the last school year he finished top of his math group and moved up to a higher set."

  • Nathanial McDonald – Year 5

    "I like coming to the Maths Club as I can do all my tables and do division with remainders. I also like doing fractions because it is fun. The Maths Club has made me better at Maths."

  • FCL Uxbridge

    “My centre is running very well. I believe I have it to a 'T' to suit my lifestyle. Thank you! It's a nippy little business which I am fortunate to be a part of!”

  • Parent

    “My eight year-old son is about to have a poem published which he wrote at school. Thanks to FCL Kidderminster he has more confidence, super handwriting and a fabulous future!”

  • FCL Northampton

    “The FCL model works and the product is superb. This allows me to stand in front of potential customers and hands on heart tell them that we will succeed with their child.”

  • Nevin Ibrahim

    My daughter started First Class Learning in Weston Super Mare after a parents meeting at school around October. The meeting made me decide to look for extra help for my daughter's progress in school. I am glad to say that when we had another parents meeting at school after 6 months, her school teacher was surprised about my daughter's progress. I recommend FCL for any child that needs extra help for maths and English. Thank you Rachel for helping my daughter.

  • Jacob (age 7)

    I love working with you. I wish you were my teacher all the time!

  • Jayshree Varsani

    Raxita is a very efficient professional and conscientious teacher. She has a passion for teaching and cares very much for each child and the attention to detail for each individual is very apparent. I’m very pleased with the progress my child has made to date.
