INDIGO Mental Maths UK | Online Abacus Classes for Children 5–14
INDIGO Mental Training developed a unique curriculum, which includes tactile, auditory and visual techniques that trains your child to make rapid and accurate mental calculations.
By using all three learning modalities, our students are always engaged and focused during the classes.
Our abacus-based programme helps your child to build their numerical fluency, by empowering, motivating, challenging them, and providing all the support and tools required.
It is designed to develop both hemispheres of the brain simultaneously, improving your child’s memory, focus, imagination, creative thinking, and as a result, our students perform better at school, as well as in arts, languages, and sports.

Natalia delivers the Indigo Mental Training Programme in the UK through her education company, Excellent Academics Ltd, as a licensed franchise partner and certified abacus instructor.
She introduced the programme after seeing how structured mental training transforms the way children learn – not only in maths, but in focus, confidence and resilience.
Working with children aged 5–14, she has seen the same shift time and again: children who begin unsure or easily distracted grow into focused, independent and capable learners.
As a parent herself, Natalia understands how quickly self-doubt can take hold. Her approach is calm, structured and supportive – building progress step by step, without pressure.
The aim is not to create “human calculators”, but to help children think clearly, stay disciplined and believe in their own ability – in school and beyond.
Our abacus-based programme is designed for children aged 5 to 14 years old.
The lessons take part in small groups. The classes are grouped by age and consist of 4-8 students online.
The “Addition and Subtraction” course is covered within 36 case lessons and the programme can take on average from 10 to 18 months, depending on the age and ability, followed by the same pattern for the “Multiplication and Division” course.
Our lessons are interactive and interesting and children love attending them. We learn abacus and do mental calculations, but we also play different fun games, while developing memory, focus, concentration and other skills, which are as important as numerical fluency.
Repetitive learning increases confidence, it improves speed and builds connections in the brain; skills that last a lifetime. Once your child has strong mental arithmetic abilities, they can tackle all sorts of problem-solving. All our homework is done on the INDIGO online platform.
Your first lesson is on us. Obligation-free, learn about our abacus-based programme and experience first-hand how we interact with the children during the lessons. We recommend the parents to join the first lesson as well, as observers, to understand the format of the lesson and ask any questions they may have after the lesson.
