What parents say

“Thank you Sensei Miwako and team for the hard work and dedication you put in teaching your students Abacus. From my first interaction with you over the phone, it was clear that you care deeply about your students, and it shows in the quality of your teaching. It’s been 6 months for our family engaging with you and your team, we have seen our kid, a kindergartner go through the journey with challenging days and days to celebrate little milestones.”

“Our 7 yo son started at JAMS in late June 2024 and he’s been going twice a week ever since with great results! He has ADHD and has a lot of difficulty completing his math work at school because of his difficulty with focus and attention. JAMS has been so wonderful for him because the classes are small and he has thrived with the more personal attention and instruction that provides him.”

“Our 9 year old was struggling with math in the second grade, so we were searching for a way to help her. Within six months, we noticed her confidence and significant improvement in math. She’s been enrolled in JAMS for about 1 and a half years. She is now confident and excels in math.”

“We are thrilled with JAMS! Our 11 year old has been taking online classes for 6 months and her mental math ability has significantly improved. More importantly, her confidence and attitude toward math has made a huge turn around for the better.”

You’ve heard that old saying… hard-work pays back. Well, it’s also proven to be truth for our JAMS Abacus students.

The dedication and perseverance learned through the Abacus have shaped the way I tackle problems. Miwako taught me how to learn. I was taught perseverance, humility, and culture.

Studying the Abacus from an early age has not just made me much more proficient at math, but has also pushed me to consistently practice and always seek to improve.

Miwako Sensei taught me more than how to achieve high scores. She taught me how to set and achieve goals, compete to the best of my ability, yet also be a good sport when things didn’t work out.
