Methodology
Why Choose Shenmo?
Our Unique Two-Hand Training Approach
Children learn to use both hands on the abacus, stimulating whole-brain development and strengthening focus, memory, and coordination.
A Streamlined, Child-Friendly Syllabus
We break complex concepts into simple, easy-to-grasp steps. With our “teach less, learn more” philosophy, each child masters one clear skill per session — building confidence through steady progress.
Qualified, Caring Teachers
Every Shenmo instructor undergoes a rigorous selection and training process. Beyond professional expertise, they bring patience, commitment, and a genuine passion for helping children succeed.
Engaging, Fun Course Materials
From flashcards and stamps to activity booklets filled with games, our materials keep lessons lively and interactive. Classes are conducted in both Chinese and English, making learning accessible and enjoyable.
Designed for All Ages, Especially Elementary Students
Our abacus and mental math programmes benefit learners of every age, with particular impact during the foundational primary years. We create a positive, encouraging atmosphere where children explore, have fun, and master mental math with ease.
A Commitment to Holistic Growth
At Shenmo, we believe every child deserves individual attention and a learning environment that nurtures their natural talents. Our goal is to equip children with competence, confidence, and character — empowering them to thrive academically and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
Two hand – Two Hemispheres
Compared to other training providers offering the one-hand abacus course, our two-hand abacus training course stimulates the development of two hemispheres of the brain. It makes the child’s brain more active. It is a system where the children are able to engage both hemispheres and thus perform calculations faster.
International Tournament
The learning and teaching of abacus is now a rising global trend. As an international institution with branches all over the world, a grand abacus tournament is held annually to bring the Abacus communities of various countries together in a friendly tournament to promote cross-cultural interaction in abacus learning. Through competitions, our students are motivated to seek excellence and perfection in their skills.
