Exciting New Opportunity for Kids with Opening of MagiKats Tuition Centre in Glasgow [AD]
The family run educational franchise has recently opened its door to Glasgow’s Southside.
A new MagiKats private tuition centre has opened in Glasgow South serving Govanhill, Strathbungo, Pollokshields, Langside, Polmadie and Mount Florida and offering a great opportunity to children in the area.
The new centre will be run by research scientist and mum Paulina Okoro who has experienced first-hand how MagiKats can help its students. With a PhD in science, Paulina describes herself as organized and meticulous with an analytical mind. One thing for sure is that she’s passionate about making a difference to the children in her area and helping them achieve their ambitions.
“My son attended MagiKats, and it has helped him immensely in his school work. Within a few months of enrolling at MagiKats he was excelling in all his work. Children need somewhere where they can either catch up if they are behind or somewhere that will challenge them if they are ready to excel at school. MagiKats has a unique, well-established program of teaching that works. And I know that being a part of MagiKats and will allow me to contribute to the future generation of scientists.”
MagiKats is a family run, internationally acclaimed education franchise which officially launched in 2005. The Lomas and Marsh family have decades of experience in the education sector as well as considerable experience of both being franchisees and being a franchise owner.

Jan Lomas (a teacher for over 25 years) maintains responsibility for both the content of the MagiKats programme and the structure of the MagiKats workshop, helped by Emma Lomas who works on curriculum development and runs flagship workshops throughout Surrey, UK. The family pride themselves on providing an exceptional standard of support, high quality material and a unique approach. They were ranked in the top 100 franchises in the UK in the Elite Franchise Top 100 2018 and 2019, and despite the pandemic, were awarded a Trustit Diamond Award in the Top Franchise category 2021.
MagiKats offers out-of-school tutoring in maths and English for any child from pre-school to National 5. All the teaching materials and resources have been developed and tested on many children around the country. It’s based around weekly, interactive workshops that support the school curriculum and provide a core skills development programme. With study skills, thinking skills and problem-solving skills included at every level, the effect of the MagiKats programmes spreads across all subjects. Each child is also provided with a different programme to follow, meaning the work is tailored specifically to the individual.
Talking of her plans for the new centre, Paulina explained:
“I love the small group, child centred approach to learning and the fact that each group has a dedicated mentor. This really means we can meet each child’s needs and build their confidence and social skills as well as the more obvious skills in maths and English. I hope as the new centre grows, I’ll be able to expand and offer an even greater choice of workshops days, times and locations within Glasgow.”
MagiKats Glasgow is the latest centre to open in Scotland. There are already thriving centres in Edinburgh, Alloa and Livingston, with another in Dunfermline due to open soon.
