Goh Zhi Xian — 12 YO

Learning Abacus and Mental-Arithmetic became part of my life when I was 5 years old. Back then, the formulas were foreign to me. Through these years, I grasped the rationale behind these formulas. They were actually magical numbers to do calculations!

I was amazed at knowing how an abacus could do multiplication and division of large as well as decimal numbers without using a calculator. When doing mental-arithmetic, the formulas would aid me too.

Mr Lee has always been there for me. When I faced difficulties, he helped me overcome them. He taught me techniques, tricks and tips that could not be found in textbooks. He has made learning abacus fun and interesting.

Learning Abacus and Mental-Arithmetic improves my memory. It also inculcates discipline and helps me focus in my study. If given the opportunity, I would like to guide other children. I am happy and grateful to master this international language.
