Our Story
Discovering And Unleashing A Little-known Yet Extremely Powerful Math Superpower
Hi! I'm Juli Agustar, founder of Abacus Brain Gym and Learn Abacus Online. I'd love to share with you my story and the birth of this business!
My story begins on a vacation trip I took to Asia many years ago with my sister. The hotel we were staying at happened to be hosting a math competition and it was there that I witnessed something that would change my life forever...
There I was... caught with my jaw hanging in utter amazement as I was watching a group of young children competing on stage by accurately answering long math problems at speeds so fast that the person in charge of verifying the answers by punching the numbers into a calculator was struggling to keep up!
I watched as long strings of numbers continued to be calculated by these children and they were beating the calculator EVERY TIME. It was truly incredible and something I had never seen before.
I would soon learn that this "superpower" which I had witnessed these students demonstrate was the results of a sensational training method called Abacus Math.
Being a mother, my immediate reaction was instinctively: "my son NEEDS to learn this!"
Upon returning to the United States and finding virtually nobody teaching this here, I decided to take it upon myself to go back to Asia and learn from all of the best abacus training centers in order to return with the best curriculum to teach my own son and soon many others!
That story took place 20 years ago...
Since then, my business Abacus Brain Gym has been teaching and empowering thousands of kids with the power of Abacus Math from all over the world!
We have partners and locations teaching our curriculum and using our software all around the world and are now able to reach and teach virtually anyone through our online classes with our Learn Abacus Online Program!
While that wraps up my story, yours might be just beginning...
Parents, I highly encourage you to take the time to thoroughly research and consider introducing your child to Abacus Math. Just a few minutes of reading could drastically impact your child's future! (Click on the button at the end of this page to learn more)
As both a mother who has put my own son through Abacus training and a teacher who has taught many students the same thing, I can tell you with absolute certainty that abacus mental math training is one of the trainings you should not miss. I cannot tell you how many times parents have come to me to tell me about the results, accomplishments, and confidence their children have gained from learning abacus mental math. My founding mission with Abacus Brain Gym is to make sure that all the children in the world don't miss out on this important training during the most critical developmental years of their brain.
Also, I want to thank you for giving me some of your time and attention to let me share my story and everything I've learned about abacus math! It is what I love doing and is fun for me because this is what I'm most passionate about! And it will be fun for you too once you start to see what your child will be able to accomplish with abacus math! Let this be the start of you and your child's abacus journey!
Now, are you ready to get started?
