For students who want to excel at AMC 10.

Affordable online training with a medal-winning coach.
Only $360 for a total of 36 classes. June 18-August 1, 2026.

Serious competition requires serious preparation.

Most students preparing for the AMC 10 will spend months preparing, but will see little success on the competition day. Not because they lack ability, but because effective preparation requires structure & individualized feedback.
Our AMC 10 Basics Camp provides a structured preparation plan leading into the competition season – focusing not only on solving problems, but on solving them efficiently & strategically.

Master AMC 10
basics

The basics of AMC 10 (problems 1-8; including algebra, number theory, geometry, probability, and combinatorics) are covered in the camp, following a clearly defined curriculum.

Feedback and personal support

Live Q&A each class + tests with feedback means no one gets left behind. And if they need extra help, optional 1-on-1 support is available.

Proven competitive math success

The instructors have years of experience preparing students for math competitions — with multiple medals, top scores, as well as national and international-level qualifications among their students.
This camp follows a tested formula: targeted curriculum → precise feedback → measurable progress.

Students won’t just learn theory, but they will learn to apply it under pressure, just like in AMC 10.

Expert instruction from experienced competitors

No tutors guessing what AMC 10 is like. Your child will learn from a former Olympiad competitor & experienced main coach, as well as other coaches with proven international success, who understand the journey — including the mistakes most students make, how to avoid self-confidence errors, and how to properly prepare (and peak) for competition.

Every topic is broken down clearly, and students can ask any and all questions they have.

Focused AMC 10 basics math curriculum

We train the exact concepts AMC 10 tests for its problems 1-8:

  • Arithmetic

  • Number Theory

  • Geometry

  • Combinatorics

Students will get both theory and competition-style problems — as well as regular tests — enabling them to recognize patterns faster, approach problems strategically, and improve their score substantially.

Regular assessments & personalized feedback

Students will take tests designed by our team.
Results are reviewed by instructors so each student receives guidance on:

  • What they’re doing well

  • Where they can improve

  • Specific advice for the next step

Parents will stay informed on their progress.

Supportive community & individual help when needed

Students train alongside others who love problem-solving — a motivating environment where curiosity and effort are rewarded. Live sessions always include time for questions and clarification, and families can add optional 1-on-1 coaching for deeper support.

No student is left behind & everyone advances together.

Meet your main coach & organizer

I’ve spent the last 10 years competing in and teaching high-level mathematics, both in-person and online…
And I’ve learned exactly what young students need to improve fast and feel confident in competitions like AMC 10.

As a 3× IMO Bronze Medalist, Brown University graduate, A Schwarzman Scholar graduate from Tsinghua University in Beijing (China), and longtime mentor to aspiring math competitors, I’ve helped hundreds of students improve their problem-solving & build the mindset needed to perform under pressure.

Additionally, I lead one of the most popular competitive math YouTube channels.

Now, as a part of our exceptional Shef Scholars curriculum, as the main coach I am here to help your child:

  • Understand, in-depth, the exact math topics AMC 10 tests

  • Practice consistently with feedback that helps

  • Grow confidence through guided progress tracking

  • Ask questions anytime — and get clear answers

  • Stay motivated & enjoy the training journey

This camp is built to support every student: from first-time competitors to those aiming for top scores this year.

I pride myself in not just teaching math — but in coaching young thinkers to succeed in their future endeavours as well.

  • "I felt like I learned a lot of tricks and tips in combinatorics which encouraged me to do some, in my opinion, similar problems. I think the way of taking lessons from IMO champion is just different from others, because you get lessons by deeply experienced person. We socialized with each other, we learned by mistakes in our solutions which is different than getting a lesson and it being explained by just someone else. If you want to study and get help by experienced Olympians, it would be great and taking lectures is the best way to study. I wish I could take the program again."

    —Ismayil Ismayilzade

  • "The real perk is in my opinion just the way Zlatko explain his mathematics. He's a fantastic teacher and will give you just the right amount of help and insights to solve problems. What I improved the most, other than just overall better problem-solving skills, is endurance, i.e. wanting to solve the problem, rather than solving it as quickly as possible. I definitely recommend this program to any student who aspires to become a better problem-solver."

    —Luka Sebbag

  • "Thanks to Shef Scholars, I’ve learned new principles and techniques for tackling Math Olympiad problems. This program stands out from others I’ve taken because of its personalized approach. It has also given me the chance to connect with people who are on the same path of competing in Math Olympiads. Thanks to Shef Scholars, I qualified for the Iberoamerican Math Olympiad and obtained an Honorific mention on APMO 2024. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in math competitions and looking to be part of a cool community."
