Is AbacusCoach really free to start?+

Yes. Level 0 (Orientation) and the core practice tools — Practice Grid, Speed Drill, Accuracy Mode and the interactive abacus — are free forever, no card required. Levels 1 and beyond continue the structured 13-level course.

What age is the course suitable for?+

The course is built for children from roughly 5 years upward, but the structure works just as well for older students and adults learning mental maths from scratch.

Do I need a physical abacus to start?+

No — the interactive Abacus Tool lets you practice bead movement on screen. A physical soroban helps once you’re building muscle memory, but it isn’t required to begin.

How is this different from a random worksheet PDF site?+

Every worksheet is generated from the same level structure as the course, with eight question types, a Daily Sheet mode for teachers, and an optional answer key — not a one-off generator disconnected from what a student is actually learning.

I run a coaching institute — can I use this to train and certify teachers?+

Yes. The Teacher Training path walks through the same abacus fundamentals from a teaching perspective, with certification and marketplace tools once you’re ready to teach.
