Here is your path
A live 30 minute demo class with our certified instructor. No payment, no commitment.
Apply for a demo classOur live online programme is open to families across the Kingdom of Bahrain, with batches scheduled in Arabia Standard Time around the local school week. Groups are capped at ten students and led by a certified instructor with 7+ years of teaching experience. Tuition is shown in Bahraini dinars and billed monthly, with the toolkit shipped separately. The 10-level structure suits children across British, American, and IB curriculum schools.
All Bahrain batches run in Arabia Standard Time (GMT+3). Most families pick an after-school weekday slot or a Friday or Saturday morning batch. Timings stay consistent week to week.
Tuition is shown and billed in BHD. The one-time physical toolkit (abacus and workbooks) is a separate one-time purchase and shipping is invoiced based on your address in Bahrain.
Most Bahraini families pick British, American, or IB curriculum schools, and the abacus complements all three by building the mental math, focus, and number sense skills they each rely on. Best results come from starting in Grade 1 to Grade 5.

Based in Goa, India, we offer live online abacus training to students across Manama, Riffa, Muharraq, Hamad Town, Aali, Isa Town, Sitra, Budaiya.

The programme is designed for school children from Grade 1 to Grade 5 and beyond. Whether your child is in Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 3, Grade 4, or Grade 5, the 10-level structured course adapts to their starting point. The Japanese soroban method builds visualisation and concentration alongside calculation speed through physical and mental bead manipulation, giving children an edge in school exams and competitive math olympiads.
The abacus and mental math programme is structured to benefit children across school grades:
Grade 1 students begin with physical abacus manipulation, learning to add and subtract single-digit numbers on the soroban. Mental math for Grade 1 focuses on number recognition, counting fluency, and the finger dexterity needed for speed math. Our Level 1 course is built for Grade 1 beginners with no prior experience.
Grade 2 students progress to two-digit addition and subtraction on the abacus. Mental math for Grade 2 develops mental arithmetic speed and introduces carrying and borrowing using bead movements. Students begin transitioning from physical to mental calculation through visualisation practice.
Grade 3 students tackle three-digit operations and begin multiplication on the abacus. Mental math for Grade 3 strengthens mental arithmetic with increasingly complex problems and builds the speed math edge that pays off in school exams and competitive assessments.
Grade 4 students master multiplication, division, and multi-digit mental arithmetic. Mental math for Grade 4 builds toward complete mental calculation without any physical abacus. Students at this stage often calculate faster than peers using calculators.
Grade 5 and above students achieve full mental arithmetic mastery, performing complex multi-digit calculations entirely in their heads. Mental math at this level develops lightning-fast computation, preparing students for competitive math olympiads, mental math competitions, and academic excellence.
