Empowering Young Minds With Abacus & Mental Mathat Great Minds Abacus
Great Minds Educational Consult is Ghana's foremost brain development and mental arithmetic institution. We bridge the gap between abstract textbook math and lightning-fast mental visualization, open to schools and parents alike.
Who We Are & What We Do
Founded in 2021, Great Minds Educational Consult was built to solve a critical educational challenge: rote memorization that leaves children intimidated by numbers.
We train children aged 4 to 13 in the world-acclaimed Soroban Abacus (Zhousuan) system. By physically manipulating beads with both hands, students activate their right brain (creativity & photographic memory) and left brain (logic & numerical analysis) simultaneously. Over time, the physical abacus is replaced by a vivid mental abacus, enabling students to calculate multi-digit sums faster than a calculator.
Guided by Purpose: Mission & Vision
Our guiding principles define how we shape the future of African education every day.
Our Mission
To eradicate math anxiety, foster razor-sharp concentration, and unlock the innate mathematical genius of every child across Africa through joyful, tactile, and structured mental arithmetic training.
Our Vision
To be the premier educational consulting institution transforming 500+ partner schools and 100,000+ young champions with lifelong calculation speed, visual memory recall, and unshakable academic confidence.
Daniel Essel Okai
Founder & Managing Director, Great Minds Educational Consult“At Great Minds, we hold a simple conviction: No child is born ‘bad at math’. Traditional schooling often presents numbers as lifeless symbols on paper, which breeds anxiety. When we place a physical abacus into a child's hands, we awaken their tactile sense and ignite visual imagination. We aren't simply training faster calculators—we are forging fearless, confident thinkers who know they have the power to solve any problem in life.”
