For Students

For students who are ready for more.

For K–12 students, ages 5–18: rigorous, creative problem solving that builds real mathematical thinking — taught so that students leave every session hungry for the next problem.

Olympiad & Competition Preparation

Deep preparation for national and international math olympiads and competitions — developing gifted and high-achieving students through challenging, beautiful problems, not just contest tricks.

Gifted, advanced & competition students

Advanced Programs in Schools

Advanced problem-solving classes and olympiad tracks designed around a school’s students — and taught in a way that makes challenge feel exciting rather than intimidating.

For Teachers

Helping teachers experience joyful math for themselves.

Most of our teacher work happens through hands-on workshops. Teachers solve rich problems together, experience what a joyful, student-centered math classroom feels like from the inside, and leave with practical ways to bring it to their own students. For schools and programs that want to go further, ongoing mentorship helps the change last.

  • Teacher workshops — interactive professional development for every K–12 grade level, from a single session to a full training day.
  • Olympiad coach training — preparing the coaches who will train the next generation of competitors, often through live example lessons.
  • Ongoing mentorship — follow-up support for teachers and program leaders who want to keep growing.

Questions

Do you work online or in person?
Both. Workshops, camps, and school programs can run on-site anywhere in the world, and lessons, mentorship, and many trainings run live over video. Many partnerships blend the two.
Who are the student programs for?
K–12 students, ages 5 to 18, who love a challenge — from curious young beginners who are ready for more, to students preparing for national and international math olympiads.
What languages do you teach in?
Sessions are in English, with Russian available when helpful.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the scope, depth, and duration of the work. Budgets are discussed transparently once we understand what you’re hoping to build.
How do we get started?
A short, no-pressure intro call about your students, your teachers, and your goals — and what might be possible together.
