The Engenius Advantage

Because our first focus is on your success, Engenius is the smart choice for an educational franchise.

Through training, site selection, lease approval, and limited but smart lease improvements, we'll guide you every step of the way to avoid rookie mistakes. While we want the Engenius brand to grow, we know you will quickly become the face of Engenius in your community. Therefore, our focus for your success is to make you the brand ambassador people will recognize and rely on. As you will learn, parents and children are more likely to interact with someone they trust than a random person.

This simple yet subtle shift of focus is what makes franchisees a valuable partner at schools and neighborhood communities.

 

The Engenius Solution

Our curriculum and our approach are scalable from the solopreneuer to the largest tutoring centers available.

With any new business, controlling costs is always an issue. With our tiered offers, you can pay our $5,000 (solopreneur) franchise fee to start your business with our full support and all of our curriculum, proprietary software, and training. Then, as your business grows, you can expand your agreement with us to grow your center to the size you desire. This phased approach maximizes your cash flow, allows you to grow into your role, and, best of all, you can get out of any current work situation you have. *The $5,000 franchise fee entitles you to one tutoring table per center (solopreneur). Each additional tutoring table you add would cost another $5,000, with maximum franchise costs per location of $20,000 (regardless of how many tutoring stations and children you serve).

Our focus is on your long-term success, not a quick win that may pour money into our bank account but put you in a difficult position to open your doors and keep your business!

 

What Does Engenius Offer Students?

Engenius Learning Centers tutors students from kindergarten to college in most academic subjects.

As an Engenius franchisee, you will have access to all of our online, digital downloadable curricula. What makes us special is that some tutors have unique skills that are not common yet still very sought after. For example, one of our tutors in Latin was the Ohio State Champion two years in a row (who knew there was such a thing). At a local Jesuit high school where Latin was still taught, our tutor was kept busy hour after hour, day after day, tutoring Latin. Others have specialized in ACT & SAT prep, math, physics, AP test prep, or US History. Tutors like this become the go-to person, and word-of-mouth advertising is better for our locations than any website review could ever provide!

This is why we say that you become the face of Engenius, and we customize your center to accommodate your community.

 

Future Franchisee - You are Engenius

Seriously, we think our franchisees are Engenius! Not just because you were smart enough to join the Engenius education franchise but because YOU will be the brand in your community. While other franchises focus only on promoting their "brand," we focus mainly on promoting YOU! You are the one who will work with the families. You are the one who will build the business. You are the one who will be responsible for making it run successfully.

You are the face of Engenius!

Engenius' role is to support you, providing curriculum, marketing, promotional support, and the expertise that has made Engenius Learning a trusted partner for our customers. But we realize we can't do this without you! Any education franchise that provides tutoring services isn't worth much without the right person providing quality services to students and families.

Ask any of the educational franchises, Sylvan Learning, Huntington Learning, or Kumon, who or what is more important: the franchisee or the franchise?

Their allegiance is to their brand, while our allegiance is to you!

So if you've always wanted to make a difference in your life by making a difference for someone else, consider becoming a franchisee of an Engenius Learning Center. Every day we make a difference and inspire young minds by giving children the individual attention they need to reach their potential.

Engenius Learning Centers is the place where great minds think a lot!

 

Who We Are

Engenius Learning Center was founded just a few years back, but Mike Flynn, President of Engenius Learning Centers, is a 30+ year veteran in the tutoring business. Mike has been a curriculum developer and multi-unit franchisee for some of the most well-known businesses in the education franchise industry.

Seeing that the big franchises were making unrealistic demands on their franchisees and making little to no effort to develop a curriculum that helped students, Mike set out to create a learning center that you would want to send your child to and, more importantly, a learning center that you would want to own.

The Problem with the Big Education Franchises

Franchise opportunities in education abound. Many companies have capitalized on franchising supplemental learning opportunities for children, from tiny home tutoring services to the most prominent players in educational services.

Sylvan Learning, Huntington Learning, and Mathnasium Learning Centers (just a few of the educational franchises for kids K - 12) all have a vested interest in growing their franchise brand and claim double-digit revenue growth each year from YOUR sales each year. This model really only benefits the franchisor and is not very good for the franchisees. In this business model, you are desperately trying to add children to your roster, offering every service possible to drive up royalties for the business but doing little for the overall health of your business. When you're a slave to driving revenue without regard for your bottom line, you end up with an unsatisfactory business model.

While on the surface, this seems great for you, the growth in sales really only creates more royalty income for them without any regard to your net profit.

There are also very specific rules to follow that don't always translate to every market. Sylvan Learning requires an Educational Director and a manager at all locations, so it is not economically feasible to serve a smaller market if you wanted to be a small business owner/operator. Kumon has a very low franchise fee, but that doesn't get you very far when you look at all the associated costs you have to pay just to get started.

Mathnasium only offers math, but most students also need help in other subjects. Rarely do we encounter a student who needs help in only one subject area. Student needs grow, especially as students get older and need help getting into college.

Why would you choose a business model where you chase away half of your customer base, not because you can't help them, but because you won't help them? Parents and the kids you help want a tutoring solution for all their needs, so don't limit yourself to just one service!

While all of these franchises have many units, that doesn't mean their franchisees are successful. The business they run isn't worth the significant initial investment and substantial monthly fees.

The educational franchises mentioned and most others have a primary interest in their brand, with a secondary interest in your success.

Engenius' approach makes you the primary focus. The more successful you are, the more successful our corporate brand is.
