Parents of Public School children! I beseech you to consider the following: **One of the biggest cross-national tests is the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which every three years measures reading ability, math and science literacy and other key skills among 15-year-olds in dozens of developed and developing countries. The most recent PISA results, from…

Thanks so much for offering a class for adults to understand the basis of math!  I always thought of myself as good at math, but Vedic Math opened my eyes to a whole new process that really helps organize math!  It is simple enough to understand even if you don’t like math, but also has…

In general, most schools teach students “how to solve a problem”, they don’t teach students why they are doing these steps, and concepts are not always clear. I enrolled my daughter in this Algebra II because I realized she was only learning steps of solving problems, basically memorizing how to solve them without understanding concepts and without…

” Catherine really enjoys the class, and had  a highest score at Math in her class while doing  tests before spring break”. Both of my children have taken abacus and Singapore math within last 5 years after school at Crosswind Elementary.  They both have benefited greatly from this program that allowed my oldest to progress into advanced…

The Vedic workshop I attended was such an eye opener to the way math should and could be performed.  I immediately saw the benefit of the learning these tools and techniques.  Ms. Alpa is an excellent instructor and I guarantee walkng away with a new mindset in how mathematics should be taught and perfromed. 

Dear Ms. Patel:  My son Rahul, and I, enjoyed your workshop on Vedic math. It was surprising to know how the ancient mathematicians had developed an comprehensive system of problem solving. We will put your instructions to use in my son’s high school education. Next time you have a workshop over the weekend or during school holidays, we will not hesitate in driving…

I’m perpetually grateful that I stumbled across Life of Math through a comment on a Facebook post, and signed up my boys, 5 & 7, for the LOM online video course four months ago. They have just completed the first level…and the mathematical ability of my boys has grown immensely over the past four months. My…

Thanks to Alpa’s patient, methodical, and personalized approach, my daughter not only passed the exam but also gained a new sense of confidence in her math skills. Alpa went above and beyond to help my daughter prepare for her exam (eligibility for Honors Algebra 1) in a short time. She took the time to understand…

Max did it!  Accepted into 8th grade math (Algebra 1) for next year (7th grade) at White Station Middle.  Max wanted me to tell you first.  Thank you for all your help.  Max got all questions right in his state exam!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for all you do for Colton through LOM. Obviously we appreciate the knowledge, skills and different ways of thinking that he is gaining through your class, but even just as important-or perhaps more important is that you have created a LOVE of math in him. He…

“Mrs. Alpa really helped me during my Algebra 1 journey. For starters, she made the environment friendly, so I felt comfortable asking questions. If I was struggling with a concept, we reviewed it and strengthened my skills. Without her help, I don’t know if I could’ve worked through the course as fast and with a…

My child is with LOM since more than 3 years now. We started with the physical classroom and then shifted to video courses because of COVID and then our out-of-town move. I did not want to choose any other program for math as I knew the value of LOM programs and its benefit to my…

We began the program the summer before my son’s first grade year in the one week summer camp. The week program was a great kickstart but is not essential as my daughter started mid year in the normal classes and is progressing wonderfully. My son’s math ability was fine for his grade level, but I…

My daughter has been with LOM since first grade. She will be in Middle School come August and will be in honors math. Alpa has been incredible in both teaching and patience. My daughter loves her and she loves math! I am so proud of her incredible math skills and thanks to Alpa. Since the…

We are very pleased with Kiana’s progress in math. Her math grade went from a C in the second quarter to an A on her mid-quarter progress report. Not only has her grade improved but she seems to enjoy math more now. The mental math techniques are how I do math so this has helped…

It has been great journey for my son Avyan to learn basics and then grasp more advanced concepts in Math through Life of Math. He started with LOM while in preschool and now he is about to complete 1st grade. We are so thankful to the curriculum and the teachers for the continued support due…

We have been with LOM for several years, spanning two children. Alpa and her team have shown an incredible amount of care, patience, and love to help our children grow. We started with classes in person and moved to online seamlessly. I highly recommend.

For me Abacus is a helpful tool.  It is a way for me to use my brain an easier way and faster.  Now that I learnt Abacus, I have no struggles in Math.  Abacus made me more interested in Math.  We get mistakes wrong once in a while but we try again, so it is…

We really enjoy the program.  It has helped Lily in her school for sure.  Initially we were concerned about conflict with math and science and we talked to both of their teacher and they said there are absolutely no issues and in fact it is helping and benefit to them.  We are very pleased with…

Our 6-year-old son Saharsh, a 1st grader started Abacus 2 months back and we are amazed at what he has accomplished in this very short period. Ever since he started Abacus, we’ve noticed that Saharsh is very interested in finishing the homework on time and hungry for more math assignments. In just a few months, we…

I just wanted to thank you for offering this class to the students at Crosswind and tell you how much my daughter Rose has benefited from it. This fall, Rose’s greatest challenge was being able to finish the timed math facts quizzes. She was accurate and understood addition and subtraction, but she was so SLOW!…

Abacus and Singapore Math is an excellent way to enrich my child’s interest in Math and also getting head start. The teachers are well trained and very supportive and the curriculum is designed to develop thinking skills. Very impressed with amount of learning Grace has done so far. It is challenging and hard work on…

My both kids got qualified for advanced program as APEX.  They both got 97+ percentile in Math and that would have not been possible without your help with Abacus and Gradewise Math.

I think the Abacus program is a wonderful opportunity to promote intellectual growth in any child old or young. I myself, enjoy the program and love the increasing level of difficulty every week. It helped me with my math because I was able to do mental math even quicker.  Another great thing about the  program is that it boasts…

Both, my son who is in 6th grade now & my daughter, 1st grade, were able to learn math beyond the surface by attending after school math club at Crosswind Elm.  They got a chance to think deeper and learn higher math concepts unavailable in regular classrooms. I’m really thankful that they did math club.…
