  • HOWCAN IT HELP MY CHILD ?

    The brain consists of two hemispheres, the left and the right. The left side of the brain is used for logical processing, mathematical functions, sequencing and linear processes.

    The left side of the brain is what is trained first when children are taught math traditionally. The right side of the brain is for imagination, visualisation, intuition and rhythm. When children are taught the abacus, it taps the right side of their brain.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Please reach us at info@homeclass.sg if you cannot find an answer to your question.

1. At what age can my child start learning Abacus?

An ideal age is 5-12 years to start learning Abacus.

2. Well, he is 5, but I am not sure whether he will sit through.

Abacus is pure concentration. You should try some other kind of classes first to see if your child can sit through the entire session and then, may be, try enrolling him/her for Abacus.

3. What are the qualifying factors to start learning Abacus?

The student should be able to count upto 10 with ease is the primary requirement. Knowing addition or multiplication is not required to start learning Abacus.

4. What is a course duration?

Depends on each child's learning capacity. There is a crash course for older smart kids too. However, Abacus learning takes time. In regular classes, all the levels can be completed in approximately 2 years.

5. Why does it take so long to learn Abacus?

It is a mathematical process which needs time to be understood, practiced and built in the brain. Like any other course like dancing, music or playing an instrument, Abacus requires time to learn if your child wants to master it.

6. Can my child take more classes per week and learn faster?

At the beginner level, our teachers do not recommend fast pace. To grab the basic, you should give more time to your child to practice. Later, if he or she shows higher learning capacity, we will change to twice or thrice a week. The max is three classes per week and that can not be exceeded for a standard learner.

7. Can my child start class anytime?

We start new batches in regular interval. If your child misses one, you may have to wait a little for the next batch to start. Else if your and your friends' children are a group of 5-6, we can start any day.

8. Can my child join in any level in between if he has done the beginner course elsewhere?

Our teachers do not prefer that. Each teacher teaches in their own method and a new teacher is unsure of the previous learning. To avoid such confusion in the child's mind, it's better to start afresh. However, if your child has really progressed quite a bit, a fee-based assessment can be done by our teachers to see if he or she can be included in a senior group.

9. What if my child wants to take a break in between?

Your child needing a break should be analysed by you. May be he does not want to learn anymore. We recommend you find out the reason and if it is an obstruction you can remove, better to complete the course and not take a break.

10. What happens if he is unable to join a session due to some unavoidable reasons?

It can happen. If it is with prior intimation, then our teachers will help the child cope up. But as you can understand, it is a group class and missing too many classes is not a good idea. We provide class recordings for the student to learn before the next session.

11. What if he doesn't like the class after I enrol?

You can opt out any time, but the fee is not refundable. So, if you have doubt that your child may not enjoy learning abacus, please decide accordingly.

12. How many classes are required to complete one level?

Learning pace can be different for different kids. However, from experience, we have seen that it takes approximately 24 sessions to finish one level.
