2025 Winter – Competitive Math Courses

Winter is the most crucial season to strengthen mathematical skills and prepare for the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC).

“Only undertake what you can do in an excellent fashion. There are no prizes for average performance.”

Our Winter Competitive Math Program is designed for students who aim high — those ready to master advanced strategies, refine problem-solving techniques, and achieve exceptional results.

Through comprehensive instruction and targeted practice, students will build the insight and confidence needed to excel in national math contests.

Pursue excellence — because in competition, average won’t win.

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 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, Caltech, 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.

In last year’s AMC 8 / MathCounts Fall Algebra Course, we didn’t just teach algebra — we predicted the contest. Every algebra problem on the 2025 AMC 8 was either identical to or strikingly similar to examples we had covered in class. Our students walked in recognizing the problem types, applying proven strategies with confidence, and walked out with higher scores.

Each year, we rebuild our course handouts from the ground up using the newest AMC 8 problems. We study the work of 16 official AMC 8 problem writers — their past contest questions, published math problems, and even their research papers — to uncover the patterns in how they think and design problems. Using these insights, we craft targeted, contest-style problems that train our students with precision.

We also handpick past problems written by these same test creators — many of which later appear on the AMC 8 itself. For our students, that means instant recognition, quick solutions, and an easy extra 1–3 points on test day.

AMC 8-New

We warmly invite you to enroll in our online course — an efficient and effective way for students to engage with experienced instructors from anywhere. Classes are conducted via Google Meet, allowing students to interact face-to-face with teachers, learn proven strategies and shortcuts for excelling on math contests, and receive personalized guidance and support. Students can ask questions in real time and work through problems under the supervision of our expert coaches.

Practice Makes Perfect: The Key to Success
To excel in challenging math competitions like the AMC and MathCounts, there’s no substitute for consistent practice. Just like in sports or music, repetition and effort are essential to mastery. We believe deeply in the power of effort and the malleability of intelligence — any student can dramatically improve through dedication and persistence. With hard work and the right guidance, success is within reach.

Our curriculum is backed by a comprehensive “big data” system that includes all past AMC 8 exams (1985–2025), AMC 10 exams (2000–2024), and MathCounts problems (1990–2025). Using AI-powered data mining and predictive analytics, we’ve analyzed these problems by type, frequency, style, and difficulty. This allows us to identify recurring patterns and fully decode the structure of AMC and MathCounts contests.

We openly share this decoded knowledge with our students, helping them understand not just how to solve problems, but how to recognize and anticipate them. Nearly every recent AMC or MathCounts problem has clear “ancestors” in past contests—and we train students to spot them.

The most effective way to prepare is to practice with real past problems, guided by our system, our methods, and our expert coaching. Let the data — and your effort — work for you.

Main Purpose:

Our primary goal is to help students develop a deep understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts, build a strong foundation, and cultivate the critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for long-term academic and professional success. We strongly believe that mastering the fundamentals is the key to lifelong benefits in math and beyond.

Regardless of a student’s current level, we provide a supportive, engaging, and collaborative learning environment where students can explore math with curiosity and confidence. Most importantly, we strive to make learning fun, enjoyable, and enriching, because we believe that students learn best when they are motivated and having a great time.

This year’s AMC 8 contest featured 6 Number Theory problems and 6 Counting & Probability problems. In our 2024 AMC 8/MathCounts Prep Summer Weekend Course focused on Discrete Math, we thoroughly covered these exact areas — including all the problem types that appeared on the 2025 AMC 8. Many of the Discrete Math problems on the test were either identical or very similar to the examples we presented during the course. As a result, our students were well-prepared and confident in applying the powerful techniques they had practiced. This strong alignment is a key reason why our course helps students consistently achieve high scores on the AMC 8.

We update our course handouts every year based on the latest official AMC 8 problem sets. We use deep learning to conduct an in-depth analysis of the thought processes and problem-design patterns of 16 AMC 8 Test Creators, based on their published mathematics problems and research articles. Using these insights, we develop targeted contest-style problems to effectively train our students. Additionally, we carefully select significant past competition problems crafted by these test makers to illustrate key problem-solving strategies in our classes. Notably, some of these selected problems have appeared on the AMC 8 exam, enabling our students to quickly identify the solutions and effortlessly secure an additional 1 to 3 points.

Practice Makes Perfect: The Key to Success
To excel in challenging math competitions like the AMC and MathCounts, there’s no substitute for consistent practice. Just like in sports or music, repetition and effort are essential to mastery. We believe deeply in the power of effort and the malleability of intelligence — any student can dramatically improve through dedication and persistence. With hard work and the right guidance, success is within reach.

Our curriculum is backed by a comprehensive “big data” system that includes all past AMC 8 exams (1985–2025), AMC 10 exams (2000–2024), and MathCounts problems (1990–2025). Using AI-powered data mining and predictive analytics, we’ve analyzed these problems by type, frequency, style, and difficulty. This allows us to identify recurring patterns and fully decode the structure of AMC and MathCounts contests.

We openly share this decoded knowledge with our students, helping them understand not just how to solve problems, but how to recognize and anticipate them. Nearly every recent AMC or MathCounts problem has clear “ancestors” in past contests—and we train students to spot them.

The most effective way to prepare is to practice with real past problems, guided by our system, our methods, and our expert coaching. Let the data — and your effort — work for you.

Main Purpose:

Our primary goal is to help students develop a deep understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts, build a strong foundation, and cultivate the critical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for long-term academic and professional success. We strongly believe that mastering the fundamentals is the key to lifelong benefits in math and beyond.

Regardless of a student’s current level, we provide a supportive, engaging, and collaborative learning environment where students can explore math with curiosity and confidence. Most importantly, we strive to make learning fun, enjoyable, and enriching, because we believe that students learn best when they are motivated and having a great time.

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.

  • 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.

Our AMC 10/12 Prep courses last summer in Number Theory and Combinatorics comprehensively covered every discrete math topic that appeared on the 2024 AMC 10 and 12 exams. In fact, each discrete-math problem on the 2024 tests was either identical or very similar to examples we worked through in class. This alignment allowed our students to become thoroughly familiar with contest-style questions and to master the most powerful strategies and methods for solving them — exactly why our courses help students achieve top scores on the AMC 10 and 12.

We update our course handouts every year based on the latest official AMC 10 and 12 problem sets. We use deep learning to conduct an in-depth analysis of the thought processes and problem-design patterns of 39 AMC 10 and 12 Test Creators, based on their published mathematics problems and research articles. Using these insights, we develop targeted contest-style problems to effectively train our students. Additionally, we carefully select significant past competition problems crafted by these test makers to illustrate key problem-solving strategies in our classes. Notably, some of these selected problems have appeared on the AMC 10 and 12 exams, enabling our students to quickly identify the solutions and effortlessly secure an additional 6 to 12 points.

We warmly invite you to enroll in our online course — an efficient and effective way for students to engage with experienced instructors from anywhere. Classes are conducted via Google Meet, allowing students to interact face-to-face with teachers, learn proven strategies and shortcuts for excelling on math contests, and receive personalized guidance and support. Students can ask questions in real time and work through problems under the supervision of our expert coaches. Click  HERE for detailed instructions.

Committing to the full course ensures students gain the maximum benefit from all the mathematical concepts, methods, strategies, techniques, and problem-solving skills covered.

  • We aim to help students develop a deeper understanding of fundamental mathematical concepts, build a strong foundation in math, and cultivate critical thinking and problem-solving skills that go beyond the typical school curriculum. Our program also fosters motivation and perseverance—key traits for reaching one’s full potential.
  • This course emphasizes efficient techniques, shortcuts, and strategies for solving competitive math problems, particularly challenging questions from the AMC 10/12 and introductory-level AIME problems. It also covers essential test-taking tactics.
  • The primary focus will be on a systematic, comprehensive, and in-depth approach to advanced discrete mathematics — specifically number theory, counting, and probability — which are central to competitive math but rarely taught in school settings.
  • We implement a highly effective instructional approach, detailed in the article Small-sized Class Instruction-focused Model.”

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.

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 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, Caltech, 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.

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 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, Caltech, 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.
