Why I opened a second GRAPSA in Galatsi.

On my entering the world of the Grapsa Group as a Kypseli franchisee, 3 years ago, I set as my goal the teaching of the 5 European languages we provide, to as many people as possible. My love for education led me to enter the world of entrepreneurship from a very young age wanting to offer the knowledge I had received to as many people as possible regardless of social class and economic state.

After all, that is why I decided to do business in Kypseli and not in some other more upgraded district of Athens. The right to knowledge is inalienable to everyone, let alone in these difficult times we are living in, during which more and more young people are moving abroad for work or studies.

At the GRAPSA Group, you find unique advantages, as a prospective franchisee:

  • the GRAPSA-100 Guarantee of success, when no other franchise offers any guarantee
  • business ‘scholarships’ for talented franchise candidates up to 30 years of age
Having therefore been employed at Grapsa and having seen from the inside the flawless functioning of the Group, in quality and in student numbers beyond that of any ‘competitor’, I decided to become a GRAPSA franchisee. 

After 3 years of continuous growth and continual success at the Kypseli center, I decided to expand, despite the difficulties we’re living in, into creating a new GRAPSA in Galatsi for English, French, German, Italian and Spanish for adults. In Galatsi we had no other outlet but in my personal opinion it is brimming over with something which I know as a few students at the Kypseli center came from the Galatsi area.

Our new facilities at the intersection of Galatsiou and Veikou, two of the most central roads in Galatsi, are a new highly aesthetic and functional learning space dedicated to the flawless teaching of our audience: young adults. We had a massive turnout of 100s of students already from the 1st day we opened.

Our next goal now is a high success rate in the upcoming Certificate exams. Because the GRAPSA Group is also well known for its many successful candidates – 1.200 in 2013!

The till now proper functioning of all our classes as well as the constantly increasing inflow of new students - which has already led us to create more classes than we initially calculated – we think will result in the success of all of our students in the upcoming exams as well as in the maintenance of our new center and in its ranking among the best performers in the Grapsa Group.
