Freedom, flexibility, purpose: a typical week as a Kumon franchisee

Freedom, flexibility, purpose: a typical week as a Kumon franchiseeMany professionals across Australia and New Zealand want to work differently, outside of the traditional 9 to 5. They want flexibility to walk their kids to school, or simply start the day a little more slowly, while still building a rewarding, profitable, and sustainable business. Building a successful Kumon franchise requires time, commitment and investment, with most Kumon franchisees spending at least 30 hours per week developing and growing their centre. However, it also offers meaningful work, flexible hours, and the opportunity to make a lasting impact in your community. **Owning your mornings** One of the biggest shifts new franchisees talk about is how mornings feel. Instead of rushing through traffic or logging into back‑to‑back meetings, many Kumon franchisees begin the week with time that suits their lifestyle. This can mean attending school events, doing school drop‑off, scheduling personal appointments or exercise, or planning the week ahead. Administrative tasks like lesson planning or student progress review can be completed from home or your centre at a time that works for you. “What I love about being a Kumon franchisee is … the freedom and the flexibility, because the Kumon centre opens after school hours, I still have time in the morning to prepare my kids for school, to drop them off, and then attend to some of their activities in school,” explains Theresa, a Kumon franchisee from south-west Sydney. **Busy and exciting afternoons at your Kumon centre** As the school day winds down, your Kumon centre comes to life. Afternoons are spent supporting students as they work through their individualised maths and English programmes. You see your students’ confidence grow and independent learning habits take shape. A typical centre day may include guiding students during class time, supporting instructional assistants, connecting with parents, and reviewing achievements. **Non-centre hours – connection, reflection and planning** Some activities on your non-centre days may include reviewing the progress of your students and communicating with families, connecting with fellow franchisees and Kumon office staff, or working on local marketing and community outreach. Some franchisees use Saturday morning as an opportunity to meet parents, enrol new students or even operate classes before enjoying the remainder of the weekend. Sunday is typically time to reset, recharge, and prepare for the week ahead. Owning and operating a Kumon franchise allows you to design a career that supports the life you want to lead, while creating long-term impact in your local community. **Ready to take the next step?** **If you want to make a difference and own your own business while being backed by an international brand, we encourage you to attend our Information Meeting to find out more.** **Sign up [here](https://www.kumonfranchise.com.au/Register) to attend a live Information Meeting in Australia, or [here](https://www.kumonfranchise.co.nz/Register) for New Zealand.** **Or watch a recorded Information Meeting [here](https://www.kumonfranchise.com.au/Register) for Australia, or [here](https://www.kumonfranchise.co.nz/Register) for New Zealand.** **A recruitment consultant will contact you after you join the Information Session to chat about your preferred location and timeline.
