"The benefits of the mathematical and mental development gained by participating in the lessons are self-evident. If you consider this, along with the training in rapid mental recall of any information, you will see why the children's self-esteem is boosted to such an extent. It allows them to feel competent, confident and knowledgeable." (David Garland, Headteacher of Holly Trees Primary School, Brentwood, Essex)

"I am hugely impressed by this class. This maths program is unique in The UK . Within a few weeks my 6 yr old's concentration had dramatically improved. What amazes me is the skill of the teachers.
They manage to make a serious maths program incredibly playful. My 3 children are hugely enthusiastic, and my 4-yr old daughter is asking everyday if it is "Brain smart day". I have to face tears when I explain to her that the class is only on Fridays, and it is not Friday every day...
The understanding of each child is amazing, the level of attention given to each child is superb, both during the class and after (teachers are always incredibly willing to discuss the children outside class hours). I would highly recommend this class, and feel very grateful that we are enrolled in it.
The children are stimulated, have plenty of fun, while learning an incredible skill, and they are so well cared for. We could not be happier." (Helen, parent in Stanmore lesson)

"We wish to say that Smart Brain has had quite a remarkable effect on the concentration level of our daughter and the speed at which she gets her arithmetic done. As parents we think the abacus system is wonderful." (Mr & Mrs Charlesworth Benedict, parents in Ilford lesson)

"Our 6 year old and 4 year old sons attend the Smart Brain sessions. They seem to be catering for both age groups very well. My children are visibly benefiting from the work in a way that they enjoy thoroughly. It is proving to to be a very positive experience for them." (Mr & Mrs Masoor Qureshi, parents of Ilford lesson)
