We’re looking for patient, empathetic souls with strong communication skills and a good understanding of learning milestones for young students. As a full-time tutor, you will earn a steady income with predictable hours (unlike other tutoring services where you only earn if you have clients booked).

Part-time tutors can earn an income while studying.

A tutoring job with Master Literacy is also a great idea if you’re a student or prospective student, taking a gap year.

Working as a Master Literacy tutor can be a steppingstone towards becoming a Master Literacy manager or even a franchise owner.

If you become a manager or a senior tutor, you will learn daily through hands-on practice how to run a successful business.

If you’re planning to become a teacher, a tutoring job at Master Literacy will equip you for the future. You will improve your teaching skills even further while tutoring.

So, if you’re planning to become a teacher, developing this skill will open more job prospects for you.

Who are our typical franchisees?
  • Maths teachers who want to start their own business.
  • Previous Master Maths centre managers or tutors who have gained significant experience working in a centre.
  • You’ll need at least the following minimum qualifications:
    • BSc (Maths related field), BEng, or similar tertiary qualification that had a large Mathematics component.
    • Tertiary teaching qualification, specialising in Maths.
    • Tertiary teaching qualification, with very good Maths and/or Physical Science marks at school.
    • The ability to effectively tutor up to Grade 12 Maths level from day 1.
  • Even those interested in buying an existing franchise would probably need to be able to tutor up to Grade 12. For example, if you own a centre and have only one staff member who is responsible for tutoring, consider what would happen if that person decided to move on. You would need to take over 100% of the tutoring immediately. Only if you purchase a very large centre with multiple staff members would we consider someone who is not able to tutor up to Grade 12 level.
  • If you start a centre from scratch, you would typically be responsible for everything - tutoring as well as admin, with no additional staff members to help you. A new business will not generate the income to sustain multiple staff salaries until it has been operational for a while.
  • Master Maths is a service industry. To be successful, it therefore requires the utmost dedication to clients. As a franchisee, you need to be a people person and very service orientated.
  • Most of our franchisees are women. We are very proud of the fact that we can assist these women through franchising to become business leaders in their communities.
