Question 1

What is Priti Ganit Guru?

Accepted Answer

Priti Ganit Guru is an education platform founded by Priti G that offers structured Abacus, Vedic Maths, and Rubik's Cube classes for children aged 5 to 16. Abacus and Vedic Maths are conducted live online across India, while the Rubik's Cube program is offered offline only at our Rajnagar Sector 9, Ghaziabad centre. All classes have small batch sizes (maximum 6 students) to ensure personalized attention and effective learning.

Question 2

Who takes the classes?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Are the classes live or pre-recorded?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

How many students are in each batch?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 5

What devices and internet speed do I need?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 6

What is the right age to start abacus training?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 7

How many levels are there in the abacus program?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 8

Does my child need any prior math knowledge to start abacus?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 9

Will abacus training conflict with school math methods?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 10

What materials does my child need for abacus classes?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 11

How much daily practice is required for abacus?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 12

What is the right age to start Vedic Maths?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 13

How is Vedic Maths different from the Abacus program?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 14

Will Vedic Maths confuse my child with school methods?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 15

How many levels are in the Vedic Maths program?

Accepted Answer

Our Vedic Maths program consists of 4 levels: Foundation, Speed Builder, Advanced Techniques, and Master Level. Each level takes approximately 3 months, for a total program duration of about 12 months. The full 16 sutras and 13 sub-sutras are covered across all levels.

Question 16

Is Vedic Maths useful for competitive exam preparation?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 17

Are Rubik's Cube classes online or offline?

Accepted Answer

Our Rubik's Cube classes are available offline only. They are held in person at our Rajnagar Sector 9, Ghaziabad centre. (Our Abacus and Vedic Maths programs are available online across India, but the Rubik's Cube program is offline at Ghaziabad.)

Question 18

What age is best to start learning the Rubik's Cube?

Accepted Answer

Children as young as 5 can begin learning basic cube concepts. For the full Layer-by-Layer solving method, ages 7-9 are ideal. For advanced CFOP speedcubing, ages 10 and above work best. The most important factor is the child's interest and willingness to practice.

Question 19

Do I need to buy a special cube for the classes?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a smooth-turning speed cube, which is easier to operate than the original Rubik's brand cube. Good speed cubes cost between 300-600 rupees and make a significant difference in the learning experience. We provide specific recommendations and can help you source a quality cube.

Question 20

How long does it take to learn to solve the Rubik's Cube?

Accepted Answer

Most children learn to solve the full cube using the beginner method within 4-8 weeks with regular practice. With our structured classes, many students achieve their first complete solve within 2-3 weeks. Speed improvement is ongoing — students typically reach under 2 minutes within 3 months.

Question 21

Can my child participate in cubing competitions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The World Cube Association (WCA) organizes official competitions in cities across India. Our advanced program prepares students for WCA competition formats, and we encourage students to compete for motivation, community connection, and a sense of achievement.

Question 22

How do I enroll my child?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 23

Is there a free trial or demo class available?

Accepted Answer

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 Rubik's Cube basics depending on the course of interest. You will see our teaching methodology in action and have the opportunity to ask questions.

Question 24

What are the class timings?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 25

What if my child misses a class?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 26

Can my child take multiple courses at the same time?

Accepted Answer

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 Rubik's Cube training.

Question 27

How much do the classes cost?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 28

Are there any additional costs beyond the course fee?

Accepted Answer

The course fee covers all instruction, worksheets, practice materials, and digital resources. The only additional items you may need to purchase are a soroban abacus (for the abacus program) or a speed cube (for the Rubik's Cube program). These are one-time purchases and are quite affordable.

Question 29

Are study materials provided?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 30

Are there certifications for completing levels?

Accepted Answer

Yes, students receive a certificate upon successfully completing each level in all our programs. Abacus has 8 levels of certification, Vedic Maths has 4 levels, and the Rubik's Cube program has milestone certifications. These certificates recognize the child's achievement and serve as motivation for continued learning.

Question 31

How quickly will I see results?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 32

How do I track my child's progress?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 33

Can my child participate in competitions?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 34

What if my child is struggling or not progressing as expected?

Accepted Answer

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.
