Meet our team

Wendy Coppedge – Founder

Her family has been involved with supplemental education since 1991. She enrolled her three children in local math and reading programs to prevent any problems with the high school curriculum. She saw firsthand how daily practice built confidence and fundamental skills that her family still benefits from today. While her children frequently complained about doing the extra work as many children will do, she persevered!

Opening her first supplemental education center in 1994, she later started developing Gideon with a team of educators in 2002 to create the ultimate math and reading program.

Wendy lives in Dallas, TX and spoils her grandchildren.

Frequently Asked Questions:

When starting a learning center, the location must be at least a 10-minute driving distance from other existing retail centers.  We will approve locations based on what we believe to be viable options after checking the distances and other information about the area.  Email us to discuss options in your area or give us a call: 1-855-344-3366.

Yes, retail franchisees receive a dynamic 10 minute driving distance radius from their center (or 2 min. for a non-retail franchisee) as shown by Google Maps or another web-based mapping system. We will reserve your general area for 3 months while you train.

The fees and total costs for starting a learning center are listed HERE.

If approved for a retail franchise, you should expect to open 6 – 8 months after signing. The length will depend greatly on how long the build-out takes. If approved for a non-retail franchise, you should expect to open 3 – 6 months after signing.

Once approved, you can only start with one learning center. If you have a retail franchise, you may discuss with us your business plan about expanding into a 2nd center. However, you must still be at each center 50% of the open hours, and your business plan will still have to be approved by a Gideon rep.

Curriculum updates and expansion are continuously ongoing.  We are not developing digital options at this time as writing by hand is better overall for learning and aiding in memorization and increased brain activity.  Read more on this here.

We develop an opening plan for marketing as part of your opening kit. Also, we will develop your website page and brochure. We can create any ads – digital or otherwise – as needed. Also, we do a Google Ad Search marketing campaign for all centers.

5 years

You should expect to spend 20-25 hours per week when you first start the learning center and more as you grow. Most hours will be when the center is open which is usually 2 to 3 afternoons per week along with one weekend morning.

Yes, but the franchise agreement requires a named center director who will be actively involved and physically on-site 75% of the class time and has a controlling interest in the company.

No, we do not at this time.
