At PALS, we go beyond basic tutoring. Our fail-safe education system is designed to build strong conceptual understanding and critical thinking skills. Every student follows a personalized study program tailored to their unique learning needs—ensuring long-term success.
The location of a franchise learning center is crucial to its long-term success. With PALS, you will secure a prime territory in your city, giving you the best chance for success in the long run.
Our fee structure is designed to increase your profitability and chances of success. Our monthly royalty fee is just $1,495 for 100 students—less than half the cost of Kumon or Mathnasium, which is about $4,000. Our initial investment is also significantly lower, ranging from $57,250 to $89,000.
Running your center has never been easier. PALS's all-in-one management hub streamlines operations with powerful tools for online assessments, student progress tracking, scheduling, and more—so you can focus on what matters most: your students.
A teaching license or an education background is not required. Many of our franchisees have corporate background. A bachelor's degree as well as a passion for educating children are required.
Each new franchise must go through the two part-training prior to the opening of a center: a four-day operations training either virtually or at the PALS headquarters and the curriculum training to be completed at home.
In addition to the initial franchise training, we provide our new franchisees with the Operation Manual and Design Book, which include valuable information on site selection, center design and management, and marketing collateral. A designated franchise manager will help you every step of the way to the grand opening and beyond.
The initial investment, as stated in our Franchise Disclosure Document, ranges from $57,250-$89,000. The investment includes the $12,000 franchise fee.
There is a monthly base fee of $495 plus $10 per subject enrolled at the center. With an enrollment 100 subjects, the royalty is $1,495 ($495 + $1,000). It is less than half of what Kumon charges ($38 x 100 = $3,800). The suggested monthly tuition ranges from $150 to $170.
Most established franchisees work the afternoon hours for four to five days. Our minimum center opening requirement is four days per week for at least four hours each day.
While our competitors still offer outdated curriculum from decades ago, we offer the most comprehensive, modern curriculum that mirrors what students are learning in school today as well as the objective assessment tool that provides a personalized study program tailored to individual needs. PALS offers the most scientific, fail-safe learning system.
I love the PALS curriculum because it is both new and comprehensive. It is the main reason I chose PALS—I wanted the curriculum to mirror what students are learning in school. - Jennifer Ahn (Irvine, CA)
I had a successful career as a corporate executive, but I wanted to pursue something more meaningful. Starting a learning center of my own allowed me to achieve that goal, and I am just as successful. - Usha Rajesh (Edison, NJ)
I love working with children, and I’d like to think that I am making a difference. Of course, the business side of it is also important. I had to work harder than ever in the beginning, but now I’m doing better financially and have a lot more flexibility. - Ruth Yong (Fremont, CA)
