Overview

What this course is about

Over roughly 4 weeks, this Abacus L1 course gets you doing real work early. The right early skills build focus, confidence and a love of learning that pays off through a child’s whole education.

You will gain confidence presenting their work and build speed and accuracy step by step, guided by an instructor who has done this work professionally.

Every session is one-on-one, so the pace bends to you — not to a class average.
