For over 10 years, Yuriy has been building the Soroban® international mental arithmetic school network — one of the largest children's education franchises in Eastern Europe, with thousands of graduates and patented methodology in the USA and Japan.
Syla Slova is his next step: a course designed on the same pedagogical principles — small steps, daily practice, measurable results — but aimed at a skill even more critical than arithmetic: the ability to think independently.
The course grew from a simple question: why do schools teach children what to think, but never teach them how? Every lesson, every episode of the game, every trainer session is an answer to that question.
“This course is not about facts. It’s about a skill that lasts a lifetime.”
Why this course exists
We live in an era where the volume of information doubles every two years. A child who can't tell fact from manipulation, can't resist group pressure, and can't ask the right questions — is vulnerable. Not because they're bad. Because no one taught them. Syla Slova fixes that.
The Soroban® approach, applied to thinking
Small steps
Each of the 13 sessions introduces one precise skill. No overload, no rushing.
Daily practice
The game reinforces each lesson 15–20 minutes a day — without homework or pressure.
Measurable result
Detailed analytics show exactly which skills the child has mastered. Not impressions, but real results.
Built on 10 years of Soroban®
Soroban® is an international mental arithmetic school network operating for 10+ years with over 10,000 graduates. The methodology is patented in the USA and Japan. Syla Slova uses the same approach — structured, step-by-step, results-driven — now applied to critical thinking.
