Common Questions

My child is only 3 — is soroban suitable?
Absolutely! We begin with gesture-based and visual play before introducing the abacus. Our youngest students are 3 years old and thrive in the gentle, encouraging environment.
Are lessons really 100% in English?
Yes — every lesson is conducted entirely in English. No Japanese required. This makes authentic soroban accessible to all English-speaking families.
What equipment do we need?
A device with Zoom and a stable internet connection. You'll also need a soroban — we can advise on where to buy one in Australia or New Zealand.
What time are Saturday lessons?
Multiple time slots are available to suit both Australian and New Zealand time zones. Times will be confirmed when you get in touch.
Is there a lock-in contract?
No lock-in at all. Lessons are billed monthly and you can pause or stop anytime.
