Do you want more flexible working?
The battle to achieve a healthy life work balance isn’t always easy. But the good news is that there is a way.
Does this sound familiar?
Do you dread the long commute? Do you have to leave and return home in the dark in the winter? Do you find juggling work with the demands of family life challenging, as you struggle to attend parents’ meetings or getting the children to their different activities? Or perhaps it’s your job that you’re no longer in love with or the idiosyncrasies of office politics that are getting you down.
If any of the above ring true, then it may be time to explore the alternatives.
What about an educational franchise?
Our educational franchise offers a unique opportunity which allows you to work with others whilst being based from home.
How an educational franchise works
A MagiKats franchise delivers small, workshop-style tuition to children of school age across the UK. Although the primary focus is on teaching maths, English and reasoning in a way that supports the school curriculum, the teaching materials are also designed to support children in a number of ways from developing study skills to building their confidence.
As the franchise owner, you run your own business but using a tried and tested model that comes with lots of practical and technical support. You are given training in the skills you need, and you have use of the MagiKats software. The MagiKats team are always on hand if you need us, and you have a mutually supportive network of other franchise owners.
How this supports a healthy life balance
As your own boss, you set both your own hours and your financial goals. And these aren’t set in stone, so if you decide you want or need to work less, or more, you’re free to do so.
You can also choose to work with as many mentors (who deliver the workshops) as you like, and you can be as hands on or off when it comes to the actual tutoring as you wish.
As with any business, there is admin, marketing, sales and accounting to manage, but on the whole, you can choose to do these tasks when you want, fitting them around your other commitments.
Better still, private tuition is one of the most resilient and robust sectors in the UK with growing demand. MagiKats workshops are a great way of supporting the children in your local community.
The advantages of a franchise
Being your own boss can feel a bit daunting and that’s one of the main attractions of buying a franchise. With a MagiKats franchise you have all the benefits of our sector expertise and experience, along with brand recognition. MagiKats have won a number of awards over the years and our distinctive branding and strong reputation gives your business the edge.
With a franchise business, you also have a much higher chance of success than someone who goes it alone and you don’t have to develop your own materials or systems.
The advantages of working from home
Following the pandemic, there was a lot of research into the benefits of working from home. Some of the headline benefits included greater efficiency at completing tasks and improved wellbeing. There were disadvantages too, of course, which included isolation, the potential to miss out on opportunities or valuable connections when you’re not in the office and the difficulty of finding a job that can accommodate remote working.
An educational franchise offers all the above advantages without any of the downsides. At the same time, an educational franchise offers you the chance to learn and develop new skills, provides great job satisfaction and a chance to work with and meet new and interesting people.
Who is an educational franchise suitable for?
A MagiKats franchise is suitable for most people:
Parents who want to work and to fit around school commitments.
Parents whose children have left home and would like an additional income but also some freedom.
Anyone with an interest in working with children, and looking for a new career or opportunity.
What qualifications or experience do you need?
There are no set qualification or experience requirements for a MagiKats franchise, and you don’t have to have a background in education. You should be well educated (ideally a graduate) with a strong command of the English language, well-motivated, enjoy working in your local community and are reasonably emotionally and financially secure.
