A good provider will be transparent. We list all costs upfront โ no surprises.
๐ฎ๐ณ Why Online Classes from India Are Cheaper (And Still High Quality)
You might wonder: how can Indian trainers charge so little? The answer is simple โ cost of living. A skilled abacus teacher in India earns a fair wage at $15-25 per hour, while a teacher in the US expects $40-80.
But the curriculum, certification, and teaching methods are identical. In fact, many Indian trainers have more experience because abacus has been popular in India for decades.
I’ve trained teachers in both India and the West. The quality difference is negligible โ but the price difference is enormous.
“We were paying $180/month for in-person classes in Sydney. Now we pay $50/month for online classes from India โ same level of instruction, more convenient, and my daughter loves her teacher.”
