A franchise with MagiKats Tuition Centres offers you the chance to build a substantial business whilst giving back to the community by educating the next generation in maths, English and reasoning.
If you are looking to swap the corporate lifestyle for one more centred around you and your family, then MagiKats could be for you.
If you are in education but want to regain control of your “free” time then MagiKats could be for you.
If you simply feel you need to be your own boss, but with the support of a proven system that has been successfully operating for over 15 years, then MagiKats could be for you.
What is MagiKats?
MagiKats Tuition Centres are unique – they each follow the same system but also reflect the personality of the person in charge.
Every MagiKats Tuition Centre offers out of school tutoring in maths, English and reasoning, for children from pre-school to GCSE (National 5 in Scotland).
Every MagiKats Tuition Centre offers an individual programme for each of its students, ensuring they get the support they need, no matter their situation.
But every MagiKats Tuition Centre also fits into its community – tailoring its provision to the demands of local families.
"MagiKats feels like a family not a franchise. I am not forced towards targets and staff at head office support me to make decisions that work for my business and my students. They are on hand to offer advice but leave me to run it my way using an existing structure that works." Louisa Whittaker, MagiKats franchisee

Anyone working in the education sector knows that the autumn term is a tough one. It seems to go forever, and by the time the kids finally break up and you crawl home for Christmas, you’re completely exhausted. And even if you’re not in the education sector, you may find yourself leaving home and retuning in the dark at this time of year, putting in long hours and wondering if there isn’t a better way.
The good news is that there is a career opportunity for you to do what you love on your own...
When thinking about opening your own business, things have to feel ‘right’. But what does that actually mean?The 'Right' ProgramIf you are researching tuition franchises, then you will already know that there are lots of programmes out there. Some focus entirely on worksheet-based learning, some use software. Some require shop premises, some are home based. In our opinion, the MagiKats programme is the best out there (we would say that), but does the way we run our programme fit with what you wa...
Jan has been writing worksheets for decades. In education since the early 70s, she has always had an enthusiasm for creating work to help specific children, teenagers and young adults in her classes and on her courses. Almost twenty years ago, her attention turned to helping school pupils across the local area to improve their maths and English – and the basic programme that later became MagiKats was born.
Jan always had a problem though – finding the right worksheet, when she needed it. Sheets...
MagiKats franchise Tuition Centres are working on a COVID safe pathway to reopening across all their franchise territories. As of now, in England, franchisees are allowed to re-open if they can do so safely. In Scotland and Wales, they are still required to be shut, but hope this will change at the start of August.

When Iftikhar Hussain from Edinburgh launched his MagiKats franchise in October 2013, his goals were clear. He wanted to open several centres in Edinburgh and eventually across Scotland – and he is well on his way to achieving that goal!
Opening his first centre on Leith Walk was a great start. A permanent space above the Leith Walk shops got the MagiKats treatment and soon the students were coming in for extra maths and English tuition.
With purple carpet and a massive, purple wall with the...

Opening the MagiKats Children's franchise Fleet Centre in October 2015, Lindsey Falconer reflected if she advised someone considering MagiKats or new franchise opportunities, she’d say:
“If they understand the USPs of MagiKats, and think it sounds like a good programme, then it’s probably something they can sell.”
New Fleet franchisee builds enrolments
Having grasped the MagiKats philosophy, the next thing Lindsey considered before taking on a franchise was being a mum of one. Looking afte...
