Questions

Frequently asked questions

Does my child need an abacus at home?

Yes. We tell you which one to buy and where after the demo class.

Will the abacus confuse my child's school maths?

No. The abacus is another way of doing the same sums. The teacher shows how it matches what the school teaches.

Is there daily practice?

Yes, about 10 minutes a day with the practice sheet the teacher sends.

Is it one to one or a group?

Either. Tell us on the contact page and we suggest one after the demo class.
