ABOUT US

Hi, I'm Ryan! I'm a junior in high school and I have been studying abacus and mental math for over 12 years. I am a certified teacher by the Chinese American Abacus Association (CAAA) with 3 years of experience teaching the foundations of abacus to elementary school students. I have also earned the CAAA Advanced Level Abacus & Mental Math Award in 2024, 2023, 2022,  and 2021 as well as the CAAA Abacus Scholarship. In addition, I competed in and won several abacus dictation contests and flash mental math competitions including an international competition in Taiwan in the summer of 2024. 

Abacus and mental math have shaped and improved my life: from becoming a better STEM student in school to building my focus & memory. My own experiences inspired me to start Mathgik because I want to share the same techniques and life lessons that have helped me succeed. Abacus and mental math teach patience, discipline, and mental sharpness and I believe that anyone can develop these skills through Mathgik.
