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.
Live training with experienced coaches
Students learn directly from instructors who have competed & succeeded on the international stage, with years of teaching experience.
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.
What’s included:
Your child gets everything they need to feel ready — and excited — for AMC 10.
Live classes
Interactive lessons, focused on AMC 10 basics (problems 1-8), competition theory & problems. Students learn step-by-step and stay fully engaged with active problem-solving.
Personalized feedback
Every student receives comments and guidance on their submitted work, so they know what to correct and how to improve right away.
Learning materials
Before each class begins, students will receive digital workbooks with theory summaries, practice problems, and helpful notes — so they are well prepared and always know what’s coming.
Class Q&A
Every session leaves time for students’ questions and explanations. They will never stay stuck, as our help is always available.
Practice tests
Students will have 4 take-home tests, designed to measure improvement and reveal strengths & weaknesses. Students complete them independently at home — and we review their results.
Access to recordings
If they miss a class or want to review again for one reason or another, all lessons are recorded and shared privately for easy replay.
