  As a 20-year-old, I joined Penguin Tutoring as a tutor but did not receive the desired number of tutoring opportunities I needed to financially sustain myself. I approached Penguin tutoring management to grow the P.E Franchise as a franchise operator. “Henry Faul was appointed as a tutor for Penguin Tutoring, Port Elizabeth, in April2010. After a period of not being allocated clients due to low sales, economicpressures and slow client responses, Henry approached Head Office and presented aproposal to manage and run the PE branch in order to personally influence thegrowth of the business.
