Thousands of Kiwi Parents Trust SIP Abacus

My daughter’s been doin SIP Abacus for 14 months and honestly, it’s helped her alot in school. Her behaviour is better too! She’s super focused now, and doin really well in both Math and English. She’s even more focused when reading books or just listening to us at home. She’s also just WAY more alert now. Getting her enroled in SIP Abacus was such a good decison. We’re so thankfull! The teachers are amazing and so patient with Shenelle, she didn’t even wanna learn numbers at first, but now she’s excelling at them. She knows her times tables all the way to 10 by heart! We’re so proud of her! Thanks sooo much for everything. Honestly, I don’t see a difference between online and in-person classes. Both are equally great.

Virat’s been goin to Abacus classes for 10 months now, and I’ve noticed that he’s really doin better in Math and English at school. He loves the in-class and online sessions. It even helped with his reading! I would def recommend this for any parent looking to suport their kids in a collabrative learning enviorment!! His English reading and Math have both improved sooo much.

We enroled our son Jashan for SIP Abacus after hearing a ton of good things about it. He used to watch a lot of TV, which was really messin with his focus. But since he started SIP Abacus, we’ve seen a huge change. His confidence has shot up, his English is WAY better, and he’s focusing more on stuff he enjoys like drawing. He actually enjoys studying more now. His Math skills are amazing now, he’s doing numbers super fast. SIP Abacus has definetly exceeded our expectations. I tell all my freinds and family about it, and some have already signed their kids up!!

When we first enroled Adelyn, we were a bit concerned about her young age being a challenge, but with the teachers’ support and encouragement, she’s SO happy to go to every class. I can tell she’s really enjoying it because the teachers get her engaged in a way that works for her. When Adelyn started at five, we were just doing really simple sums. But after six months, we could already see how much she had improved. Now, a year and a half later, she’s doing multiplications like 26×5 and 27×9! It’s been amazing to watch! I’m super pleased and happy with this program and I’d totally recomend it for so many reasons. Since my 6 year old started this class, I’ve noticed a huge improvment in her learning, math skills, and her confidence too! Even her school teachers said she’s doing her calculations WAY quicker now. All the teachers at Abacus Takanini are really nice and I’m so happy with the amount of kids they have per session. It shows they really focus on each and every kid, instead of just filling the space. Thank you so much Abacus Takanini team! You guys are doing an awesome job. !

Before SIP Abacus, Haan's focus was really low, and he couldn’t sit for more than 5 minutes. But now, he can sit for 30-35 minutes, and his concentration is amazing! It’s not just math – his reading, English, and even drawing have improved too. The changes in him are incredible! We were super worried about Baani and Avni’s Math skills since they weren’t really getting much help at school, so we looked for something else and found SIP Abacus. It’s made a huge diference in their calculations, focus, and concentration. They’re way more confident now, too! They used to be kinda shy and not particpate much, but now they’re top of their classes. SIP Abacus has honestly blown us away. At first, we thought it was just about Math, but the focus and confidence they’ve gained from the program has been amazing. They’ve got extra classes if they fall behind, which has helped the girls a ton. They’re now really pushing themselvs!

After the intro sesion, I was pretty sure SIP Abacus was gonna help Jace, and I was rite! It’s crazy seeing how good he’s gotten with the Abacus. His concentration and focus are way better now, and even his listening and decison-making have leveled up. It’s also boosted his confidence, especially when he talks to others and shares what he’s learned. Over the past 3 years, I’ve seen him grow so much. Honestly, I’d recomend this to all parents – SIP Abacus is totally worth it for a kid’s growth!

Reyaan was already good at math, but I wanted to help him with focus and speed. SIP Abacus did wonders! His mental calculation speed has drastically increased, and he now confidently solves problems in seconds—much faster then me! His confidence in math is through the roof, and his focus has improved across all subjects. I’m so happy with his progress and highly recommend SIP Abacus for boosting focus and confidence in math! A year and a half ago, I brought all three of my kids to SIP Abacus after trying 3 other tutorials. They’ve improved a lot in Math and other subjects, and they can focus better now. I’ve seen them study harder and do so much better at school. If your kids are struggling, SIP Abacus is the solution you need!

SIP Abacus is way better than other Abacus coaching centers. I started at a different place 3 years ago in Epsom and I was much slower at calculating sums. After joining SIP Abacus, I learned faster, and now I can solve sums in my head without using an abacus! The techniques here are much better, and I’ve improved significantly in speed and focus.

I wasnt sure if SIP Abacus would be worth it for my son Harry.. but it’s exceeded all expectations. He used to struggle with Math, but now he solves problems faster than I can! His concentration has improved so much and its helped in other areas too. We’re so so happy that we’re also enroling our younger daughter. I think this program is a must for all parents!

Joining SIP Abacus for my daughter Ariabelle was the best decision! She’s gone from struggling with multiplication and division to being ahead of her class. Her attention to detail has improved, and she even calculates costs during shopping trips now! The additional tools, like the Alexa app, make it even better. I’m so proud of her growth and recommend SIP Abacus to every parent!
