Soroban classes for children aged 5 to 12, following the Kodomo School curriculum. Classes are small so the teacher can follow each child closely, and parents choose how many sessions a week suit their child.
Our class length and teaching approach are the ones Kodomo School has used in Japan for many years, so that every child can make the most of their abilities.
The teacher can see each child’s finger movements and correct them right away when something isn’t quite right.
