LOS ANGELES — Mathnasium Learning Centers, the globally recognized math-only tutoring franchise, is celebrating a landmark first half of 2025 marked by rapid growth, international expansion and strategic innovation. With 51 new franchise agreements signed through June and 41 new centers opened globally, including the company’s milestone 100th international location, the brand is on track for one of its strongest years ever.
“The space that we play in — math-only education — continues to be better positioned than the competition,” said Kevin Shen, Chief Development Officer at Mathnasium. “It’s still the most in-demand tutoring subject. And unlike other franchise concepts, we’re more insulated from macroeconomic uncertainty. Parents will continue to invest in their children’s math education regardless of market conditions. Add to that our strong year-over-year trends from the new Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), and it’s easy to see why Mathnasium continues to rise to the top of the list for prospective franchisees.”
The franchise signed 29 new franchisees and completed 25 franchisee resales in the first half of the year, while 22 existing franchisees expanded with new centers and 12 others acquired additional locations through resale. In total, 42 new Mathnasium centers have opened so far in 2025 — 31 in North America and 11 internationally — including the brand’s first-ever center in Romania and its 100th international location in the Hammersmith district of London.
“Our Net Promoter Score remains above 80, which tells us that families are not just satisfied — they’re seeing real results,” said Michael Stanfield, Chief Marketing Officer. “The number one driver of our growth this year has been the quality of our learning experience. We’ve doubled down on our proven curriculum, trained expert instructors, and joyful, confidence-building environment. Families don’t just come to Mathnasium because their kids need help with math — they come because their kids love coming in and feel supported.”
In May, Mathnasium celebrated the opening of its 100th international center in Hammersmith, U.K., making Britain the brand’s largest market outside North America with 37 centers and more than 3,000 students served. This milestone reflects the surging global demand for supplemental math education, fueled by learning loss, growing interest in STEM careers and heightened parental awareness of math’s long-term importance.
“Reaching 100 international centers isn’t just about growth — it’s about meeting a real need with a method that works,” said Mathnasium Chief Executive Officer Tyler Sgro. “We’re empowering children all over the world with confidence and comprehension.”
Earlier this year, the brand also opened its first center in Romania and continues to expand its presence in existing global markets such as Saudi Arabia, Australia, and Mexico, while targeting new regions like Thailand and India.
Mathnasium’s 2025 annual convention, held July 13–15 in Seattle, served as both a celebration and a forward-looking launchpad. Themed “Climbing Higher Together,” the event focused on collaboration, innovation, and reinforcing Mathnasium’s mission to transform lives through math.
“Whether it’s refining how we teach, deepening connections with families, or strengthening center operations, our entire system is focused on elevating the Mathnasium experience,” Stanfield said.
In the second half of the year, Mathnasium will begin rolling out new digital tools to enhance the parent experience and streamline operations. Projects on the horizon include an upgraded parent portal, a new intelligent assistant to support center operations, and the early stages of a financial literacy initiative aimed at equipping students with practical, real-world math skills.
With prime territories still available and strong unit-level economics reported in its 2025 FDD, Mathnasium remains one of the most accessible and impactful franchise opportunities on the market today.
“Our momentum is real — and it’s accelerating,” Shen said. “We’ve already sold more half the number of franchise agreements we sold in all of 2024, and we’re just getting started. As we head into the second half of the year, our focus is on continuing to support new and existing franchisees, expanding internationally and delivering on our promise to help children build a lifetime of confidence through math.”
