Kumon Educational, an independent education provider, is looking for franchise owners to help its expansion across Ireland.

According to the company, demand for its study programmes has never been higher, which is why Kumon Educational is looking for success-driven people to own and operate its maths and English study centres at locations across the country.

Franchise owner candidates should also be passionate about developing children and want to build their own successful businesses. David Browne, franchise owner of Wicklow Kumon Study Centre, said: "I decided to become a Kumon Instructor because I could see the difference Kumon was making in children's lives. I also wanted to run my own business with the flexibility to fit my work around my life. I hugely enjoy my position because I can see directly the changes in my students. I should have become an instructor years ago."
