What grade should my child start preparing?

Many students begin in Grade 5 or 6. The AMC 8 is designed for Grade 8 and below, so starting early gives more time to build skills.

Is prior competition experience needed?

Not at all! The AMC 8 is the entry point for competition math. We start from fundamentals and build up.

What level are our tutors?

All our tutors have either scored in the top tier of the exam they teach, hold a degree in the relevant subject from a top university, or have direct competition/olympiad experience. We don't hire general tutors.

How many sessions do I need?

Depends on your starting level and goal. We offer 8-session intensives, 3-month tracks, and full-year programs. Your consultation will determine the right fit.

Do you offer group classes or only 1-on-1?

We offer both. 1-on-1 is most popular for olympiad and university entrance prep; small group classes (3-5 students) are available for AP and GCSE/A-Level curricula.

Absolutely. We match you to the best tutor for your subject, but if the fit isn't right, we'll rematch at no cost.

Is there a trial session?

Yes — your first 30-minute consultation is free. This is a real teaching session, not a sales call.
