    What Is IOI?

    The International Olympiad in Informatics (IOI) is the most prestigious algorithmic programming competition for pre-university students. Each country selects up to 4 representatives — typically through USACO Platinum (USA), IOITC (India), or equivalent national camps — to compete in two five-hour rounds of advanced algorithmic problem-solving.

    Who is it for?
    Students who have reached USACO Platinum, IOITC, or equivalent national selection camp. Strong fundamentals in C++ and competitive programming are required.
    How is it taught?
    Live 1-to-1 online classes with a verified Computer Science mentor. Your first session is a free trial that maps your level, then classes follow a personal plan. From $30/hour.

    How IOI mentoring works

    1. Step 1

      Free trial & level check

      Your first 1-to-1 session is free. A Computer Science mentor works through IOI problems with you to find exactly where marks are being lost.

    2. Step 2

      Your personal plan

      We write a plan around those gaps, starting with Advanced DP, Graph Algorithms, Data Structures, paced to your exam date.

    3. Step 3

      Live 1-to-1 classes

      Weekly online sessions with the same matched mentor, with practice set between lessons and every mistake reviewed.

    4. Step 4

      Progress updates

      Parents get regular updates on accuracy, pace and readiness. If the mentor fit isn't right, we rematch at no cost.
