Good morning, welcome back to our podcast. I was absent last week due to a business retreat and personal celebrations. The highlight from the retreat was a realisation: I can sell our tutoring franchise because selling is simply solving someone's problem, which I do when discussing how we help your child with their maths or English.

We discussed franchising costs—£3,000 initially plus £100 monthly for training—which feels right for me. So stay tuned; my first franchise sale may happen soon!

Switching gears to academics, many children seem to be working on fractions at school at the moment. For example, adding fractions with common denominators is easy; just add the numerators. Multiplying requires multiplying both top and bottom numbers separately.

For division, flip the second fraction and multiply across..

Have a great week and catch you in the next podcast.
