Frequently Asked Questions

Priti Ganit Guru is an education platform founded by Priti G offering four courses — Abacus, Vedic Maths, Maths Olympiad and Quantitative Aptitude. Every course runs as a live online class, so students across India and abroad can join. All classes have small batch sizes (maximum 6 students) to ensure personalized attention and effective learning.

All classes are taught directly by Priti G, a certified Abacus and Vedic Mathematics instructor with over 10 years of experience and more than 5,000 students trained across India. We do not use assistants or pre-recorded videos — your child receives expert instruction in every session.

All our classes are 100% live and interactive. Students and the instructor are connected via live video, and the session includes real-time demonstration, guided practice, instant feedback, and two-way communication. This ensures that every class is engaging, personalized, and effective.

We maintain a maximum of 6 students per batch. This small group size ensures that every child receives meaningful individual attention, gets their questions answered, and has ample opportunity for guided practice. It is one of the key factors behind our high student satisfaction and retention rates.

You need a device with a camera and microphone — a laptop, desktop, tablet, or smartphone all work. A stable internet connection with at least 2 Mbps speed is sufficient for smooth video calls. We recommend a quiet, well-lit space for the best learning experience.

The ideal starting age is 5-7 years old, when brain plasticity is at its peak and children can develop strong mental visualization skills. However, children up to age 12 can still benefit significantly. We recommend booking a free demo class so we can assess your child's readiness and recommend the best starting point.

Our abacus program has 8 structured levels, from Foundation (Level 1) to Grand Master (Level 8). Each level takes approximately 3 months to complete with regular classes and consistent daily practice. The full program takes about 24 months to complete.

No prior math knowledge is required. Our Level 1 curriculum starts from the very basics — understanding the abacus frame, learning bead values, and performing simple operations. We build number sense from the ground up, so even children who have not yet started formal schooling can begin and thrive.

Not at all. Abacus training complements school mathematics by building stronger number sense and faster mental calculation ability. Students learn to approach problems from multiple angles, which deepens their understanding rather than conflicting with it. Many of our students report that abacus training actually helps them understand school math better.

Your child will need a soroban-style abacus (we can help you source one), a notebook, and pencils. A stable internet connection and a device with a camera are needed for the live online sessions. We provide all worksheets, practice materials, and digital resources as part of the course.

We recommend 15-20 minutes of daily practice for optimal progress. Consistency is far more important than duration — regular short practice sessions are far more effective than occasional long ones. Our instructors assign specific practice tasks after each class.

Vedic Maths is best suited for children aged 10 and above who already have a basic understanding of arithmetic operations. Students in classes 5 through 12 gain the most from this program, especially those preparing for competitive exams like Olympiads, NTSE, or JEE.

Abacus training uses a physical tool to develop mental visualization and whole-brain activation, making it ideal for younger children (ages 5-10). Vedic Maths is a system of mental calculation techniques based on 16 ancient Indian sutras — it requires no physical tool and is better suited for older children (ages 10+). Both develop speed and accuracy, but through different mechanisms and for different age groups.

No. Vedic Maths complements school methods rather than replacing them. Students continue to learn standard procedures at school and use Vedic techniques as powerful shortcuts and verification tools. Many students find that Vedic approaches actually help them understand conventional methods more deeply because they can see the underlying patterns.

Our Vedic Maths programme has 3 levels — Basic Foundation, Intermediate (build speed and accuracy) and Advance Application. It runs for 3 to 4 months, around 36+ classes at three classes a week, and every topic is taught from basic to advance. The full 16 sutras and 13 upsutras are covered, plus 50+ reasoning short tricks.

Extremely useful. Competitive exams like JEE, NTSE, Olympiads, CAT, and bank exams have strict time limits and reward speed along with accuracy. Vedic Maths techniques can reduce calculation time by 70-85 percent, giving students significantly more time to attempt additional questions and verify their answers.

The first step is to book a free demo class. During the demo, your child will experience a real lesson, and we will assess the appropriate course and level for them. After the demo, we discuss the enrollment process, schedule, and any questions you may have. There is no obligation to enroll after the demo.

Yes, we offer a completely free, no-obligation demo class. During the demo, your child will experience a real lesson — learning basic abacus movements, a Vedic technique or an olympiad problem, depending on the course of interest. You will see our teaching methodology in action and have the opportunity to ask questions.

We offer multiple time slots across the week, including after-school hours on weekdays and morning and afternoon slots on weekends. When you enroll, we work with you to find a schedule that fits your child's school routine and your family's availability. Flexible rescheduling is available when needed.

If your child misses a class, we provide a recorded session for review and the instructor covers key concepts in the next session. For extended absences, we offer make-up classes to ensure your child does not fall behind. Our small batch size makes it easy to provide this personalized support.

While it is possible, we generally recommend focusing on one course at a time for the best results. Each course requires daily practice, and spreading attention across multiple courses can reduce the effectiveness of both. We suggest completing one course (or reaching a comfortable level) before adding another. However, some older students do successfully combine Vedic Maths with Maths Olympiad preparation.

We offer various enrollment options to suit different needs and budgets. Rather than listing specific prices here (which may vary by level and duration), we encourage you to book a free demo class where we can discuss pricing options that work for your family. We believe in transparent pricing and there are no hidden fees.

The course fee covers all instruction, worksheets, practice materials, and digital resources. The only additional item you may need to purchase is a soroban abacus (for the abacus program). It is a one-time purchase and quite affordable.

Yes, we provide all study materials, worksheets, and practice resources as part of the course. These include structured practice sheets for daily use, speed drill worksheets, level-end assessment materials, and digital resources. You do not need to purchase any additional books or materials.

Yes, students receive a certificate upon successfully completing each level in all our programs. Abacus has 9 levels of certification and Vedic Maths has 3 levels, with milestone certificates in our Maths Olympiad and Quantitative Aptitude courses. These certificates recognize the child's achievement and serve as motivation for continued learning.

Most parents notice observable improvements in their child's calculation speed and confidence within 4-8 weeks of starting regular classes and daily practice. By the end of Level 2 in the abacus program (approximately 6 months), the improvement is dramatic and unmistakable. Vedic Maths students typically see speed improvements within the first month.

We provide detailed progress reports after every session, including speed and accuracy metrics, areas of strength, and topics that need more practice. Parents also receive monthly summaries. Additionally, our level-end assessments give a comprehensive evaluation of the child's development across all skill areas.

Absolutely. We regularly prepare and enroll students in state, national, and international competitions across abacus, Vedic Maths and Maths Olympiad categories. Our students have won over 30 medals at national-level events. Competition preparation is integrated into our advanced level curricula.

Our small batch sizes allow us to identify and address individual challenges quickly. If a child is struggling with a particular concept, we provide additional practice, alternative explanations, and extra attention in class. We adjust the pace for each student while maintaining the group's overall progress. Our goal is to build confidence, not frustration.
