FOCUS Drills / Computations Word ProblemsEMPHASIS Speed (routine, time limit) Understanding of concepts and Application
CULTIVATES Discipline (everyday routine) Analytical and creative thinking skills (which students need not only in Math, but in other subjects and life as well)
STRUCTURE Continuous ContinuousSET-UP 1. Students come in at any
time2. No lecture, just supervision
1. Classroom-type with fixed schedules2. Students learn from highly trained teacher who teaches and explains concepts and problems3. Maximum of 12 students per class only.
TEACHER Well-trained and highly-qualified teachers (must undergo training and pass the achievement test)
METHOD Sakamoto Method (visual approach to problem-solving)
PREREQUISITES For Level 4 – Level 6, students must know how to read and understand instructions.Diagnostic or Level Check Test (must be scheduled prior to the start of the Sakamoto Class)
