Christopher's active and engaging social media presence is even what inspired our Head Office to become active on social media again! You can follow his journey here:
"The head office team is very communicative, and always willing to provide help and answer questions. It’s also great to be part of a friendly network where franchisees in different areas share ideas and help each other!"

Cynthia is now entering her third school year as a Magical Maths franchisee in and around Addlestone & Woking.
Despite operating in the smallest area amongst our network, Cynthia received more feedback than any other franchisee in the year leading up to our last AGM.
With 100% positive comments, many of which directly mentioning her involvement in the classroom, Cynthia is deservedly our most recent recipient of the coveted Customer Service Award.

Karishma & Amit
Reading
Karishma and Amit may be entering the new academic year with only one term's experience as Magical Maths franchisees, however they have already raised the benchmarks for customer service and running really great after school clubs.
Whilst carefully building a strong team to support them moving forward, Karishma and Amit spent the summer term talking to parents and focusing on ensuring their sessions were super fun for each and every child they taught.
As a result, they are entering the new school year with a high demand to return to schools and a wealth of fantastic feedback from their parents!
"It's a fantastic feeling to know you're helping children and providing something that replaces fear, uncertainty and frustration, with excitement, confidence and, above all, FUN!"
Tim Ford, Nottinghamshire
Karla Holmes
Lincolnshire
Karla joined the Magical Maths network with a legacy to live up to, taking charge of the Lincolnshire area from long time franchisees Grahame and Tracy.
Two years in and Karla has grown the area's reach to ever further corners of Lincolnshire, whilst carefully maintaining the customer service that Lincolnshire was famous for at Magical Maths.
As a result, Karla picked up the Customer Service award in her first year and has continued to return to schools where Magical Maths has been constantly present for almost 10 years now - a strong testament to the quality of her clubs!
Katherine & Mark Wheway
Brand Owners & Franchisees in the Home Counties
Katherine and Mark brought Magical Maths to Hertfordshire as the brands very first Franchisees over 10 years ago. Their rapid growth across the neighbouring counties saw such strong success that they found themselves in the position to purchase the Magical Maths brand in 2020!
As franchisees, Katherine and Mark completely redefined what's possible as an after school club provider. They turned getting 50 signups at a single school from something to celebrate into an expectation, and have run incredible sessions to over 100 children at a school more times than we can count.
As franchisors, it's not just their experiences across the Home Counties that are essential to the brand. Their relentless attitude towards brand development has seen Magical Maths improve and grow at a faster rate than ever before.
All the while, as franchisees in the Home Counties they are in the classroom every single afternoon as they continue to deliver Magical Maths to over 1,000 children a term with their team across over 20 schools.
Marios Samarellis
North Kent
As the newest member of our network, Marios will be delivering his first Magical Maths sessions in North Kent in the new school year.
His performances as Professor Poopenshtinken last term saw him generate a lot of excitement in his initial visits to primary schools, so it's going to be a busy start to life as a Magical Maths franchisee for Marios!
This summer, he has been carefully building a team to support him in delivering the best after school clubs possible and ensure he is making a genuine difference to children's educations.
Tim Ford
