Thank you, Alpa for creating these videos for the kids during this time. Colton watched his and was able to independently work on the math work from home.  Video lessons and assignments are very well designed.  They were easy to understand and very helpful. Solid figures video lessons are made so carefully with so much details, really got a great visual understanding of Geometry.  Lucas and I watched the abacus ones together, which actually helped me! He’s almost completed the level he is on just as he would have if we were still in session- hasn’t missed a beat.  The videos are so helpful as they are like having you here as their teacher vs me trying to teach subjects I am not trained to teach :)!  It is so convenient and gives freedom to manage our own time.

Few things bring me as much joy as the privilege of educating my children at home. I’m not the world’s best teacher, but I am the one the Lord entrusted with the task, and I am willing & able to rise to the occasion, so long as He continues to allow. I’m grateful that I’m not in it alone, that we’ve been surrounded by such an abundant community of people, blessed with varying gifts, who are willing to come alongside us and offer their wisdom. Today, Bean began his first abacus math book, along with videos due to COVID, from the amazing Alpa Patel with Mental Math Abacus. So far, he’s loving it! We used this program with our girls and the results were phenomenal! We hope all of our children can partake of the same feast as they become ready. Thank you, Alpa, for all of your hard work and dedication to making math fun for every child! You are one of my many heroes!

Thank you so much for the video lessons. They are very interesting, easy to follow and convenient.  Firas really enjoyed them and I did too  
We also watched the first video of Solid Figures and It is awesome   so yes I’m watching too   I love Math and like the way you used visuals to captivate the attention even more, and geometry is Firas’ favorite part.
Thank you for your support

PROGRAM STRUCTURE of VIDEO COURSE

Total Levels: 7

Cost: $159.99 per level

On an average it takes about 4 to 6 months to finish one level of LOM’s Abacus program. It can cost around $650 for our physical classroom or online interactive sessions with live teacher options for 6 months.  In video course option, child can play video explanations as many times as needed for better understanding to complete the level.  DISCIPLINE is the key for child to be successful in short time when using video courses.

Physical Abacus tool and material: This option is available only for residents of USA.  
If you need a physical abacus tool and want us to ship it to you, please add $30 in your first payment along with level fees.  This is a onetime buy.  Also, if you want us to ship material it will be $40 per level.  Shipping is $20.  You can opt out of .pdf assignments in place of physical material.

You can use a digital abacus tool in place of physical one.  There are free as well as some paid apps that allow you to download Abacus tool.  Look for Japanese Soroban.

Make sure you have either physical abacus tool or digital one before you purchase the level. We can recommend some apps if you would like.  

WHAT LOM PROVIDES: Every level will come with video lessons and .pdf assignments that you can print.  It is recommended to print those assignment pages and have your child work on the assignments with pencil. However you can just display them on screen and child works out in a note book.  

Video lessons access time: 4 months to 6 months maximum access will be given per level depending upon the level.  If needed more time, an additional charge of $59.99 per month will be applied.

What if my child finish the level before 4 months?: Considering child can finish the level before 4 months, upon request for next level to be opened before 4 months, first level access will be removed and next level will be available once payment is received.  

Would I get refund or roll over fees if my child finishes the level before 4 months?
NO.  Purpose of video courses is to give total flexibility so child can learn on his or her pace.  $159.99 per level is a flat rate for 4 months access to videos per level.


How much involvement is needed from a parent? : Parents need to make a game plan on when child will be working on the video lessons on regular basis. Few kids require parents to sit with them, few are independent worker, and few takes little time to understand how the process works.  It is all depend on an individual student.  Even in our physical classes or online interactive classes, we have seen a little parents involvement makes a huge difference in child’s success.  We DO NOT EXPECT parent to teach, we want them to provide a strong support to their child.  We want parent to help child play video lessons, and make sure child does the required assignments.


Can we skip any level or start from higher level: Each level is based on previous level’s skills. Every one starts from level 1.  

Refund Policy: NO REFUND in any case.  All purchases are final. Whether you use video lessons or .pdf for assignments or not, once you pay there is no refund.  Please make sure you go thru video samples attached above before you make a purchase.
