Become a Part of this Multi-billion Dollar Industry
The supplementary education market continues to boom even in current economy. It is expected that tutoring industry will be a multi-billion dollar industry in coming years. If you want to help the children in your community achieve academic excellence and have a desire to start a business of your own, we invite you to team with us to follow a proven path.
WHY NOW?
THE REASONS
For a number of different reasons including school budget cutbacks, fewer teachers, crowded classrooms, standardized tests, failing test scores, and increased global competition, the tutoring industry is booming. This, along with the fact that parents are actively taking responsibility and becoming more involved with their children’s education, makes it only logical that this improvement is taking place. Surveys from The Star have found that more parents across Ontario are opting for private tutoring. Around 1 in 3 families, to be exact.
GROWTH
According to Global Industry Analyst, Inc., amid the Covid-19 crisis, the Private Tutoring market worldwide is set to grow a whopping US$105.9 Billion in the next few years. This number, of course, represents the market worldwide, but Canada represents $1 Billion of the industry and held against the global market, the Canadian market is still relatively untapped. There is significant room for growth in the Canadian Private Tutoring market.
OPPORTUNITY
The industry presents an exceptional opportunity for supplemental education providers - especially Megamind Learning Centre franchise owners whose businesses are built upon a solid pedagogical foundation, who are well trained, and who are continuously supported with research leading to new, innovative, and responsive programs.

Allowing students their right to education, and their parents the gift of helping their children succeed is an amazing thing, for them and yourself.
