When I first decided to franchise Impact Tutoring, my goal was to find like-minded, determined, energetic people ready to have the freedom and support to make a real impact in people's lives.

I wanted to find ambitious people looking to discover their capabilities, grow a successful business and immerse themselves in their business community.

I quietly thought I found a sweet spot in my pricing to encourage those ready to come on a journey of impact with me. I met with my business advisor who had a slightly different take. “Jean,” he said, “you’re practically giving away franchises!”

Despite the light-hearted lecture, our chat got me thinking about the real value we provide through Impact Tutoring. Our ‘why’ if you will. I’m passionate about education and the communities we serve. I want to inspire those who’ve always wanted to have their own business but haven’t really known where to start, and I want to open the door for those with experience in business to invest in a business that can make tangible change to people’s lives. And of course, the bottom line is that it’s about making meaningful  contributions to people’s lives and sharing those special lightbulb moments with kids when they really ‘get’ something for the first time and see their confidence shine.

Here's what I know makes joining our Impact Tutoring community through franchise ownership a unique opportunity.

Value beyond pricing

The initial investment might seem lower than expected – my mother taught me if something seems too good to be true, well, it’s probably not. For me, it’s about setting people up for success and making business ownership accessible. From the moment you join us, you’ll get remarkable support from the  team and myself. It’s in my best interest to see you thrive in your new role as an Impact Tutoring hub owner.

Training and ongoing support

Once you join our Impact community, you’ll receive a comprehensive Impact Tutoring manual that provides a clear indication of the tasks needed to run your business, plus personalised training across all  areas including tuition techniques, how to plan and run lessons, invoicing, health and safety protocols, procedures for onboarding new students and much more.

Marketing support

Our marketing tools and resource kit ensure you effectively connect with parents and students in your community. Joining an established brand means gaining the trust of families eager to find quality tutoring options and adults looking for tutoring they can be sure will help them with their goals. Your marketing kit will include 20 social media images each term with hashtags, guidance on using social media and an overall presence through our Impact Tutoring NZ Ltd marketing channels. You will also have the benefit of being able to use our in-house designer marketing materials.

Learning assets and IP

You’ll receive access to our full suite of our education assets we’ve developed over the 11+ years we’ve been in business, including lesson plans to kickstart your tutoring business as well as specific links to all our Intellectual Property.

Supporting you to succeed

Once set you up, we double down with substantial ongoing support to see you thrive, which includes weekly Loom videos that showcase practical tips and tricks for success, one-on-one mentoring sessions with myself, monthly Zoom Impact focus sessions and connections with other franchise hub owners.

A mission of impact

Why is our mission so important? Because every child deserves to learn in an environment that nurtures their individuality and growth. My vision extends beyond profits; it’s about creating an educational  ecosystem where knowledge is paired with respect and inclusion.

I firmly believe the right education can change lives. I’ve seen it first-hand, especially here in the Waikato where our main hub is based and have many success stories like one of our past students ‘Jack’, who struggled with his literacy and after working with our wonderful tutors has gone on to be an excellent  diesel mechanic and loves his job.

By extending accessible business opportunities to like-minded individuals, we can amplify our impact together.  While my business advisor might have raised an eyebrow at my original pricing strategy, the true value of Impact Tutoring exceeds what any price tag can convey.

It’s about purpose, passion, and a promise to our communities.

Our franchise empowers you to not just run a business, but to contribute in a real and meaningful way —and that’s priceless.
