The success story of soroban:
The words of parents
Find out why our students' parents are delighted with our mental math lessons at Soroban.
It's been a year now since my 4-year-old daughter enrolled in the soroban mental math course. At first I was hesitant to register her given her young age, for fear that it would be too heavy for her. Especially since my daughter is Dutch-speaking and doesn't speak French. But after speaking to the teachers, they were able to reassure me and teach me the culture of mental math soroban; their ways of working. And then there was a teacher who also knew the basics of the Dutch language, which also reassured me. My daughter, at first, didn't want to go to class but over time - around 3 classes my daughter came out of the class with a big smile and proud to tell me that she did well. At home and at school we noticed a big change in his concentration. She concentrates better and more easily, plus she understands things very quickly in primary school. Her teacher even told me that she was the one who explained certain games to other students who didn't quite understand. And regarding calculations, my daughter manages to calculate on her own with the help of her abacus but without the help of her parents. And she understands the exercises, I am super satisfied with the lessons and the teachers who have a lot of patience. Its first year was a success, I can't wait to see how it develops in the following years!

I am delighted to share my testimony about the Soroban classes in which my 5-year-old daughter participated for a year and a half. These classes were an incredible experience that truly transformed his mental arithmetic ability.
Thanks to Soroban's unique and fun teaching methods, my daughter was able to develop remarkable mathematical skills. She learned to manipulate numbers easily and quickly, which allowed her to solve complex problems efficiently at such a young age.
I am grateful to the dedicated teachers at Soroban.be who closely followed my daughter's progress and encouraged her to excel. Their caring and encouraging approach created a positive and motivating learning environment.
In conclusion, the Soroban.be courses were an extremely beneficial experience for my daughter. They enabled him to develop exceptional mental arithmetic skills and gave him a solid foundation in mathematics. I highly recommend Soroban's courses to all parents who want to strengthen their children's mathematical abilities from an early age.
Thank you, Soroban.be, for your positive impact on my daughter Neyla's learning.

Hi, I'm Jonada, a young student who was afraid of math (I was bad at it) until I found this mental arithmetic school. I found it very interesting to learn in a different way than at school. So I took the plunge and signed up. The months have passed and I love maths, I am no longer afraid of maths, I dare and I have confidence in myself. My grades are increasing at school! Given the results, I did not hesitate to continue for two years, two years during which I gained even more confidence in myself and in my brain! 3 great years during which I learned a lot.
Thanks to the Soroban.be team

Our method with Soroban
The Soroban method allows you to perform mental calculations quickly and without the help of a calculator.
It helps develop memory, concentration, logical thinking, self-confidence...
01
Students begin by learning how to use the soroban to perform simple addition and subtraction operations. They learn to move the soroban beads to represent numbers and operations, and to read the results using the positions of the beads on the soroban stems.
02
Once the basics are mastered, we start working on the speed and complexity of the calculations. By using specific exercises, we train their brain to process information more quickly, but above all to focus given the large number of calculation operations.
03
When the student reaches a certain level of proficiency in soroban, we begin to teach them mental visualization techniques to enable them to perform mental calculations without soroban. We teach them to imagine the soroban beads and operations in their minds, and to read the results directly.
04
Finally, we work on the speed and precision of mental calculations. Using specific exercises and games, we train their brains to perform complex mental calculations at an increased speed, without the need for a physical tool like the soroban or a calculator.
