そろばん暗算レベル 1 - 自己ペースコースのサポート セッション。

My name is Natalya Marte. I am a Mental Arithmetic instructor. 
In my classes kids learn how to use Japanese abacus, Soroban and with its continuous use to perform mental calculations at a high speed and with a high accuracy. Mental Arithmetic classes are so much fun! We do a lot of engaging activities individually and in groups. 
I am a certified Abacus Mental Arithmetic Instructor. I also have a bachelor's degree in Translation Studies of English/Spanish/Russian. In 2013 I established the first educational club for kids - Sunrise English Club, Almaty, Kazakhstan. In 2019 after moving to the US, I established Sunrise Mental Math Club.

I keep it as a priority in my teaching to help kids to enjoy learning and gain more confidence in themselves. It’s so important as they grow not to be afraid to learn new things but to thrive in it! 
As kids learn Abacus math through various activities they not only gain a better number sense but also their memory, critical thinking, concentration develop so well that it improves their academic performance in other areas as well. Doing mental arithmetic involves both hemispheres of the brain at the same time! It's amazing to see the results even after 5 or 6 classes of Abacus Mental Arithmetic. 
Along with that I love having fun in a smart way, so I also implement such fun thing in my classes as Magic Snake,  which is a logic puzzle to make different patterns and shapes with. Kids love it and we even organize competitions, challenges and other group activities with our favorite toy!
