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.

  • 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.

In last year’s AIME Prep Winter Session on Comprehensive Problem Solving, we provided a thorough and systematic program that covered all the major topics featured on the 2025 AIME I and II exams. Remarkably, all the medium- and high-difficulty problems on the 2025 tests were identical to — or closely resembled — the typical examples demonstrated in our Winter Session. This close alignment allowed our students to become highly familiar with AIME-style problems and to master the advanced strategies and methods required to solve them efficiently and confidently.

This is precisely how our Winter AIME Prep Course empowers students to achieve outstanding results and reach their full potential on the AIME contests!

Each year, we update our course materials to reflect the most recent AIME I and II problem sets. Using deep-learning–based analysis, we study the thought processes and problem-design patterns of 10 AIME Test Creators, drawing insights from their published problems and mathematical research. These insights directly inform the development of our original, contest-style problems—allowing students to train with precision, accuracy, and purpose.

To further strengthen conceptual mastery, we also curate key past competition problems authored by these same test creators. Notably, several of these problems—or their variations—have appeared on actual AIME contests. This allows our students to recognize familiar structures quickly and often earn an additional 1–2 points on test day.

Our goal is to equip students with deep understanding, refined techniques, and effective strategies for success in competitive mathematics. This preparation not only drives excellence on the 2025 AMC 10/12 and 2026 AIME, but also cultivates a mindset of creative and analytical problem-solving that extends far beyond competitions.

Beyond test preparation, we challenge students with original, thought-provoking mathematical problems that promote meaningful generalization. These experiences often lead to the creation of high-quality research projects, which we guide through refinement and submission to prestigious mathematics journals—empowering students to achieve academic distinction beyond contests.

You are warmly invited to join our Online AIME Prep Course, a dynamic and effective program that connects students with experienced instructors from anywhere in the world.

We use Google Meet for live video sessions, allowing students to engage directly with teachers, ask questions in real time, and receive personalized guidance. Our instructors share powerful strategies, shortcuts, and insights to help students achieve outstanding results on their math contests.

Students also have the opportunity to solve problems under the supervision of our expert teachers and coaches, ensuring they receive the support they need every step of the way.

A Data-Driven Approach to AIME Mastery
Our “big data” system is built from the complete set of problems from all 69 past AIME contests (1983–2025). By applying data mining and predictive analysis, we’ve uncovered recurring patterns, question types, and frequency trends—essentially “decoding” the AIME.

In this course, we’ll share these insights with students, revealing the “secret code” behind the exam and equipping them with the tools to confidently understand and master it. For nearly every recent AIME problem, we can trace its origins to earlier contests.

That’s why the most effective way to prepare for the AIME is to deeply engage with past problems—recognizing structures, building intuition, and sharpening strategy through targeted practice.

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.

We have extracted 5,000 brand new problems at the level of the AIME from the licensed AMC Database. In addition, we have also collected all AMC8/10/12 and AIME Official Solutions as shown in the article “American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) Materials.” All these materials have formed a golden resource for our students, who are the ultimate beneficiaries.
