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.

In last year’s AMC 10/12 Spring Geometry Prep Course, we delivered a comprehensive and systematic course that thoroughly covered all the geometry topics appearing on the 2025 AMC 10 and 12 exams. Notably, every geometry problem on the 2025 tests was either identical to or a close variation of typical examples taught in our course. This alignment allowed our students to recognize problem structures instantly and apply proven strategies with speed and 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 written by these same authors — 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 remarable track record clearly shows how our course greatly helps students achieve exceptional results on the AMC 10 and 12.

Building on this success, our upcoming 2026 AMC 10/12 Spring Prep Course will continue to offer in-depth instruction, full topic coverage, and focused problem-solving practice. Students will strengthen their mathematical foundations while developing the insight, speed, and confidence needed to excel on the AMC.

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

Registration is now open, and class sizes are limited to ensure personalized attention. Secure your spot today and get a strong head start on the 2026 AMC 10/12.

Our Uniqueness

We have a long history of close collaboration with the MAA’s 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.
