History of Sorotouch]
In September 2010, Sorotouch opened an abacus school in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. In search of a learning method specializing in the mastery of mental arithmetic, we visited mental arithmetic schools in Japan and overseas, and started an original two-handed curriculum in 2014, bringing together students, parents, and classrooms at the lab school. 2016, we obtained a patent for "Sorotouch," and in the same year, we started general sales on the App Store, and in the following year, we received the Japan e-Learning Award "Grand Prize". As of December 2022, the company has more than 200 classrooms in 10 countries and regions around the world.
