Tutoring Boom - Oxford Learning Anticipates Significant Franchise Growth In Western Canada

Over the past decade, escalating competition, crowded classrooms, and busy extracurricular schedules have become top concerns for North American parents. So, it is logical that with the pressures facing children today, the market for learning centers has grown into a $4 billion a year industry.

Learning Centers, like Sylvan and Kumon, rank as some of the top franchise opportunities in North America. And according to Oxford Learning, Canada's largest supplemental education system, that growth will only continue to increase in Western Canada.

"We see tremendous potential for expansion in the West," adds Oxford's Chief Operating Officer, Lenka Whitehead. "With the current demand for our programs, we anticipate opening an additional 20 western franchise locations by the end of 2009." These franchise opportunities are now being filled by a younger set of community-minded entrepreneurs with a shared desire for building a fulfilling career working with children. Within three months, Oxford's franchise owners have gone from the monotony of a day job, to the daily adventure of running a growing business.

In it's expansion plans, Oxford Learning identified several thriving cities as the most promising markets for franchise development. Cities topping the list include: Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, West Vancouver and White Rock.
