A* REALLY knows how to prepare students for the AMC 8.

AMC 8 / MathCounts Basic Student

This camp was really fun and enjoyable for me. Before I got here, I expected this camp to be all math but now I know that it’s a balance between math and fun.

Patrick Z., A* Student

AlphaStar has taught me so much, and they can teach you so much too!

I learned a lot from the camp. The problems are difficult but the instructor teaches the solutions well.

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" :)
