Testimonials

The instructor is funny. He plays good games that require thinking.

AMC 8 / MathCounts Advanced Student

The AlphaStar classes have been extremely helpful. I went from not knowing any Pre-algebra in 6th grade to being able to score decently on AMC 10 a year later. Definitely recommend. :)

Extremely good teacher!

Anthony L., CS 201 (USACO Bronze) Student

Very helpful course that fostered my interest in competition math!

Online learning is hard, but I've honestly learned a lot.
