About This Video
This Mathnasium video features Jennifer Krull, a franchise owner who came into the system as a first-time business owner. The testimonial is short and direct: she walks through what initially attracted her to the brand and what the franchise has delivered since.
The candidate-fit story is the focus. Jennifer is open about the fact that she had never been a business owner and was not actively seeking a business when the Mathnasium opportunity surfaced. The fit emerged because the structural attributes of a Mathnasium franchise mapped to what she and her family wanted — control over their own destiny and family life — without forcing the lifestyle compromise that a fixed-hours retail or restaurant franchise typically demands.
The mission-driven framing is the second thread. For Jennifer, the financial opportunity was paired with the chance to make a meaningful difference in children's lives — math instruction that genuinely changes a student's relationship to the subject.
Mathnasium's franchise model is built around the brand's proprietary Mathnasium Method curriculum, delivered through individualized instruction by trained teachers in a learning-center environment. Franchisees do not have to be math educators themselves; the brand provides the curriculum, the teacher training, and the operating playbook. Additionally, the mathematical-learning category continues to grow with parental demand for STEM-aligned tutoring and academic support.
Jennifer's testimonial answers the candidate-eligibility question directly: a Mathnasium franchise can be a viable first business for someone with no prior ownership or teaching experience, provided they care about the educational mission and want a franchise that supports family life rather than competing with it.
