"After joining Phonics Bear just over a year ago, I can honestly say that this is how work should be! I’m in total control of my own hours & workload, and therefore my own income. It fits perfectly with a family and I can drop off and pick up from school daily.
Although I work independently, I feel very much part of a team and am in constant touch with Annette and the other franchisees, lending each other moral support, work ideas and advice.
The classes are lovely to deliver and, coming from a teaching background, I find that I can focus entirely on the teaching without any of the extra admin that goes along with a teaching job.
If you enjoy working with children, and want to be your own boss, then I would heartily recommend a Phonics Bear franchise!"
