Leader in Math-Only Education Continues to Grow International Footprint, Now Spanning 11 Countries

LOS ANGELES, CA —Mathnasium Learning Centers, an internationally known franchise with over 1,100 math-tutoring centers worldwide, announces a new signed master franchise agreement with Ms. Dana Bănică that will bring at least 25 learning centers to Romania over the next six years. This marks an important milestone for the brand—breaking into a new country and growing its global footprint.

Dana Bănică’s Background

• Master Franchisee, Dana Bănică, is an experienced and successful entrepreneur with a passion for innovative education. In 2018, Banica became Logiscool’s first Master Franchisee by bringing the coding school to Romania.
• She established in her country a network of more than 60 coding schools to offer children and teenagers high-quality, engaging, and interactive digital literacy education.
• Building on her success with Logiscool, Bănică knew it was the right time to bring Mathnasium to Romania. Her ultimate goal is to transform the way Romanian children learn and enjoy mathematics, continuing her mission to provide exceptional educational experiences that inspire and empower the next generation.

“I chose to invest in Mathnasium because I wholeheartedly believe in the brand’s mission and methodology," stated Bănică. “Drawing from my past experience and witnessing the positive impact of engaging educational programs, I recognized Mathnasium's potential to truly make a difference in Romania. With its proven approach of making math enjoyable and accessible, Mathnasium aligns perfectly with our objectives. Our aim is to instill a love for math in children and nurture the confidence essential for academic success and beyond. Romania is primed for this transformative shift, and I'm thrilled to play a leading role in this educational revolution.”

The current educational landscape in Romania underscores a noticeable absence of dedicated math tutoring centers, a gap that Mathnasium is ideally positioned to address.

Mathnasium’s Global Footprint

• In the past two years, the brand has announced projections of opening an additional 25 centers in Vietnam, the brand’s largest international market, and 45 centers in Saudi Arabia.
• With the news of this signed franchise agreement, company leadership projects international development to grow by more than 25% in 2024, compared to the previous year.
• There continues to be vast growth potential across India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Spain, and several South American countries.
• Mathnasium offers a unique, individualized approach to students worldwide, which can effectively address the diverse needs of students, helping them overcome math challenges and reach their full potential.

“Expanding into Romania is an exciting opportunity for us. The country’s cultural emphasis on education, with over 50% of students in primary and secondary grades using tutoring services, shows their commitment to academic excellence that aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Benjamin Simon, Regional Vice President of International at Mathnasium.

“Additionally, Romania's growing middle class and franchise-friendly environment make it an ideal market for rapid expansion through Master Franchising. We are excited to bring our unique approach to math education to Romanian students and contribute to their academic success.”
