Course Testimonials

I like that you get to learn new ways to solve math problems.

AMC 8 / MathCounts Advanced Student

It's really fun and a great place to learn. I liked the way the instructors taught the courses and how they would help you whenever you needed it.

Edward X., CS301 (USACO Silver Basic) Student

The classes were great, and I really liked the problems.

This class was probably the best class I have taken so far. Even though the course work was a bit heavy, the teacher made it incredibly fun to learn physics.

F=ma Basic student

Dr. Gurel is amazing! He is super enthusiastic about the material he is teaching and he knows a lot about it. He is really good at explaining new theory and making extremely difficult problems seem simple with his variables like "apple" and "smiley-face" :)
