What are the Math Olympiads?
The Math Olympiads were created in 1977 by Dr. George Lenchner, well-known math educator. Students all over the world participate in the Olympiads. Teams are set up with 35 students or less at your elementary or middle school. From November to March of each year, there are 5 contests per month. Contests are set up for students in grade 4 through 6 and 7 through 8. These contests provide students with an incentive to study math. The challenging practice and contest problems require critical thinking and analysis. Students apply skills they learn in the classroom and solve problems they have never seen before.

How to get the most out of tutoring
Be physically and mentally prepared for your tutoring session. Make mistakes so we can learn from them! It is through trial and error that we make progress. Tell your tutor when you don’t understand something and ask questions regularly. We ask you to be patient with us as we try different methods and discover what works best for you. We expect you to put in as much time and effort outside of tutoring as is required to meet your goals. Practice what we recommend.
