Abacus training built over 21 years, delivered live to your home
Mastermind Tutorials Pvt. Ltd. has run abacus and mental-maths education since 2005, growing to 1,000+ centres and a purpose-built live online platform used by families in 17 countries. Every trainer is company-trained and certified, every level is assessed, and the same curriculum is taught whether a child joins from Khalifa City, Al Reem Island or Al Ain.
For Abu Dhabi families, that matters: most abacus centres sit on the island or in Mussafah, and a twice-weekly drive in afternoon traffic is often what stops a good programme from lasting. Live online removes the commute without removing the teacher.
What your child learns in abacus class — from bead frame to mental maths
Your child starts by calculating on a physical abacus, then learns to picture the beads and move them mentally — solving multi-digit sums in their head without paper or a calculator. Along the way they build:
Abacus technique
Correct bead and finger technique from Level 1.
Mental maths & calculation
Add, subtract, multiply and divide in the mind.
Concentration
Every sum demands full attention, and the habit sticks.
Memory & visualisation
Holding the abacus image trains working memory.
Speed & accuracy
Timed practice that shows at homework time.
Confidence
A child who stops fearing numbers.
These are the outcomes parents typically see over the levels; progress depends on regular attendance and short daily practice. Read the research on abacus training →

How our live online abacus classes work
Free demo & placement
Your child attends a live 1-hour class; the trainer suggests a starting level. Children who learned abacus before, including in India, are assessed and placed accordingly.
Two live classes a week, one hour each
Taught on Mastermind’s interactive portal, where timed games and flash exercises replace the fatigue of a plain video call.
Practice at home
A physical abacus, level books and a Parent Handbook are delivered to you; the student app and free Virtual Abacus support 5–10 minutes of daily practice.
Ten progressive levels, about three months each
With an assessment at the end of every level so you can see progress, not guess at it.
All you need: a laptop or tablet, a stable connection and a quiet corner. Batches are scheduled in Gulf Standard Time, with after-school and Saturday–Sunday slots; you choose yours when you book the demo.
Your child’s free demo is one click away
See the live portal, meet a trainer, watch them enjoy maths — before you decide anything.
Online abacus classes vs travelling to an abacus centre
What actually changes for a family here when the class comes to them instead of the other way round.
| What matters to you | Mastermind live online | Travelling to a local centre |
|---|---|---|
| Travel | None — your child learns at home | Twice a week across the city, often in afternoon traffic |
| Timings | You pick a Gulf Standard Time slot — after school or weekend | Fixed to whatever the centre’s timetable allows |
| Batch size | Four children to one trainer, always | Often larger, with less individual attention |
| Who teaches | Certified, company-trained trainer, live every class | Varies by centre and instructor |
| Holidays & travel | Batches run year-round — join from anywhere | Classes stop while the family is away |
| Learning kit | Abacus, books & Parent Handbook delivered home | Collected from the centre |
| Try before you enrol | Free one-hour live demo class | Sometimes offered |
Works alongside British, American, IB and CBSE maths in Abu Dhabi schools
The emirate’s ADEK-regulated schools teach more than a dozen curricula. Whether your child is in Year 3 of a British school, Grade 4 of an American or IB school, or Class 5 of a CBSE school, abacus supports the classroom rather than competing with it — because every curriculum assumes the number fluency it builds. Batches run year-round, so whether your child’s school year runs August to July or April to March, they can start at any point and keep going through the long summer break — even while the family is travelling.
Meet our certified abacus trainers
Every class is led by a certified, company-trained Mastermind trainer — never a rotating cast of instructors. These are a few of the educators who make mental maths genuinely enjoyable for your child.

Abacus classes in Abu Dhabi — your questions answered
Do you have an abacus centre in Abu Dhabi?
We teach Abu Dhabi families through live online classes rather than a local centre — a certified trainer, a batch of four, from your home. No commute, and the classroom experience is the same.
I’m searching for abacus classes near me — do you cover my area?
Yes. Because classes are live online, your area makes no difference: children join from Khalifa City, Al Reem Island, Al Raha, Yas Island, Saadiyat, Mussafah, Mohamed Bin Zayed City and Al Ain on exactly the same terms. There is nothing to travel to.
What class timings are available for children in Abu Dhabi?
After-school weekday and Saturday–Sunday slots in Gulf Standard Time. You pick the day and time when you book the free demo.
What is the best age to start abacus classes?
Our live online abacus programme is for children aged 6 to 14. A child who can count and follow simple instructions is ready for Level 1; older children usually move through the early levels faster.
Will abacus confuse my child’s school maths?
No. Abacus strengthens the mental arithmetic that British, American, IB and CBSE maths all rely on. Parents usually notice faster homework within the first levels.
My child learned abacus in India before we moved. Can they continue?
Yes. A short assessment places them at the matching level so nothing is repeated.
How long is the full abacus programme?
Ten levels of about three months each, with two one-hour live classes a week. Children move up as they master each level.
How much do abacus classes in Abu Dhabi cost?
Fees depend on the level and batch, so we share the current figure after your free demo class — along with the days, timings and what the home kit includes. There is no obligation to enrol.
Do you also teach children in Dubai, Sharjah and other UAE cities?
Yes. The same live online batches serve families right across the Emirates, and further afield — Mastermind teaches students in 17 countries on one shared curriculum.
