From Corporate to Community Impact with Mathnasium
A brand-new Mathnasium centre has opened in the heart of Winchester, bringing a unique and fast-growing education franchise to the city and marking a major career shift for local resident turned franchisee, James Kirk.
After a decade in data analytics, James was ready for change. Craving more meaningful, people focused work, he began exploring business ownership and discovered Mathnasium, a global franchise specialising exclusively in maths for children aged 4-16. Mathnasium offers personalised support that helps students catch up, keep up or get ahead, building confidence and core maths skills for life.
“I’d been thinking about what I wanted long-term: more autonomy, more impact and something that felt purposeful,” James said. “Mathnasium stood out because it combined proven business systems with the opportunity to make a real difference in children’s lives.”
As someone who grew up in Winchester and attended local schools and colleges, James saw the potential to bring something valuable back to his hometown. “There’s nothing else quite like Mathnasium here. It’s great to be part of a global brand, but also to build something local, to create jobs, support families and be part of the community again.”
Now with 37 locations in the UK and over 1,200 worldwide, Mathnasium is one of the most established and scalable education franchises available. UK franchisees benefit from a comprehensive onboarding process, marketing and operational support and a business model designed to be both profitable and purposeful.
For James, the opportunity has delivered exactly what he was looking for: “I’ve gained control over my time and career. I get to work face-to-face with families, lead a team and build something of my own, while still being backed by a strong support network.”
Mathnasium continues to attract professionals from all backgrounds, from finance and tech to education and consulting, who want to switch gears and build a business with impact.
