  • This is a live, interactive class, rather than a pre-recorded one. Instructors actively engage with students by asking questions, and students are encouraged to participate by asking their own questions during class or via email after class.
  • All lessons are recorded, allowing students to review and reinforce their learning through self-study. According to our policy, recorded class videos are strictly available to enrolled students and are not shared with parents.

The final round of this year’s AMC 10/12 will conclude soon, so it is important that we begin preparing in advance for the 2026 AMC 10/12 contests. As the great scientist Louis Pasteur once said, Chance favors only the prepared mind. Those who start early, work diligently, and remain focused are the ones who achieve the best results. The AMC is a challenging mathematics competition that demands persistence and deep understanding—therefore, the earlier our students begin their preparation, the stronger their performance will be.

In last year’s AMC 10/12 Winter Prep Course on Algebra, we offered a comprehensive and systematic course that thoroughly covered all the algebra topics appearing on the 2025 AMC 10/12 exams. Remarkably, every algebra problem on the 2025 tests was either identical to or closely resembled the typical examples demonstrated in our Winter Course. This close alignment enabled our students to become highly familiar with these problem types and to master the powerful strategies and methods needed to solve them with confidence.

Each year, we update our course materials using the latest official AMC 10 and 12 and AIME problem sets. We carefully analyze the thought processes and problem-design patterns of 39 AMC 10 and 12 Test Creators, drawing insights from their published contest problems and mathematical research. This allows us to craft highly targeted, contest-style problems that train students with precision and confidence. We also handpick key past competition problems from these same test creators — many of which later appear on the AMC 10 and 12 exams. For our students, that means instant recognition, faster solutions, and often an extra 6–12 points on test day — giving them a real edge over the competition.

This proven success clearly demonstrates how our course can significantly boost students’ performance and help them achieve outstanding results on the AMC 10/12 contests.

Building on this success, our upcoming 2026 AMC 10/12 Winter Prep Course will continue to provide in-depth instruction, comprehensive topic coverage, and targeted problem-solving practice. Students will not only strengthen their mathematical foundation but also develop the insight, speed, and confidence needed to excel on the AMC.

Start preparing early—join us this winter and take the first step toward your best AMC 10/12 performance yet!

Registration is now open! Early enrollment is highly recommended, as class sizes are limited to ensure personalized attention and maximum learning effectiveness. Don’t miss this opportunity to get a strong head start on the 2026 AMC 10/12 reserve your spot today and begin your journey to success!

Small-sized Class Teaching Model: 

We utilize the highly effective small-sized class teaching model. Smaller classes lead to pupils receiving more individual attention from teachers, and having more active interactions with them. We focus on every individual, not the whole class. Students will thrive from the smaller class sizes that allow them to reach their full potential. Particularly, students can benefit tremendously from high-frequent individualized student-teacher interactions leading to establishment of a stronger foundation for lifelong learning.

Our main purpose is to help our students gain deeper understanding of the fundamental math concepts, build a solid foundation in math, and develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are so valuable to success in any career. We are big believers in the FUNDAMENTALS! Our students will receive the LIFELONG BENEFITS from learning math.

Regardless of his/her math level, each student will have the opportunity to learn math in a fun, friendly, cooperative, supportive learning environment. The most important thing is to have fun.

Our Uniqueness

We have a long history of close collaboration with the MAA’American Mathematics Competitions (AMC), which are dedicated to strengthening the mathematical capabilities of our nation’s youth, and are the first of a series of competitions in high school mathematics that determine the United States team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

We are only one in the Washington DC metropolitan area to offer elementary, middle, and high-school level competition math courses. Our students have received top scores and awards at prestigious national and math competitions.

Great Benefits of Math Competitions

In an increasingly competitive college application pool, the process of mastering math skills through our courses and participating in the American Math Competitions will help students strengthen and diversify their extracurricular activities. These contests can motivate students’ interest and passion in math, and they can discover their talent through solving challenging problems different from those in the school classes. Many top colleges also request AMC scores as part of the college application process. Both MIT and Caltech have entry blanks on their official admission application forms for the applicant to enter their best AMC and AIME scores. Ivy League Colleges and Stanford ask for to the AMC and AIME scores in their Supplement to the Common Application Forms. Your children deserve the chance to list these scores on their applications! Good AMC scores will greatly enhance admission opportunities for students to elite colleges.
