Owning a Kip McGrath Franchise in Scotland
I am Margaret Carmichael, Master Franchisee for Kip McGrath Education Centres in Scotland and Franchise Owner since 1999. There are currently 28 Kip McGrath centres throughout Scotland, from Dumfries to Inverness. A few great territories are still available.
Having been a teacher for 20 years, I saw an opportunity to go into business but still be able to teach children, which has always been something I love. I am extremely proud that I have been able to help so many children reach their full potential with our English and Maths tuition programmes. I also love to see my franchisees transform into successful business people.
Although assisting my Scottish franchisees is a very busy job, I still run my own centre in East Kilbride, as I still love to teach.

What current Scottish Franchisees say
Lillian was not enjoying retirement from teaching.
“We are now approaching the end of our third year as Kip McGrath Franchisees. We knew that we had found what we were seeking – the opportunity to continue working and earning as well as creating that balance between professional and social life.
The friendship and support of other Franchisees and of Margaret Carmichael, Scotland’s Master Franchisee are invaluable. The Kip McGrath brand makes promises – and delivers: this is a system of tutoring which works and it is so rewarding to know that we are making a difference in the lives of so many young people. It’s a great method, a great opportunity – and a great life.”
Lillian and Sandy Cook, Franchisees, Perth & Dundee Centres
Jeremy was looking for a new career
“I have been operating my Kip McGrath Education Centre for over two years. It has been the best decision I have made in a long time. Not only do I thoroughly enjoy going to work everyday, but my turnover has grown steadily each year.
Parents in my area know what the Kip McGrath brand stands for and almost all of my new business comes from customer referrals.”
Jeremy Hemmings, KMEC Franchisee Peterhead
Pip heard about the business through a friend, visited a centre and immediately handed in her notice at the school where she was employed
“Running a Kip McGrath centre is a great way forward for anyone who would like to stay involved in education, but close the door on traditional teaching.
It may seem like a daunting prospect, but support and encouragement from your Master Franchisee or Franchisor is only a phone call away.”
Pip Watt, KMEC Franchisee Livingston & Edinburgh South
Above all it is about children - Children Enjoy Coming!
“Kip McGrath has played a big part in my letting me succeed in school by passing my exam with flying colours at school. I did not get help with my reading at school but now Kip McGrath has helped me. Miggy is the best tutor and the best teacher that I have had. I wish that she was my English teacher in my school. Now, with the grades I got, I can do Highers and will be able to get the job I want. Go Kip!!!!”
Kevin, Kip McGrath student at Cambuslang
