A boy who was struggling at school is now a maths genius after his mum taught him to use an abacus - which she says can help today's children. Dr Rashmi Mantri, 45, used the ancient technique she learned while growing up in India to tutor son Dhruv Maheshwari, 16, after school.
She noticed Dhruv began struggling with maths in primary five and was worried he couldn't do simple sums. But after just six days he began to take to the abacus and was transformed into a maths whizz - with his classmates parents even reaching out for help.
Dhruv has now landed an apprenticeship at drinks firm Diageo and said his teachers would be shocked by his career choice after his maths struggles. And his mum is using her abacus tutoring to teach thousands of kids around the world.
