About

This is a course that will go over all the basic must-knows to be proficient in problem-solving (competitive math), starting from square 1! Optional Prerequisites - Geometry, Algebra, and Right Triangle Trigonometry. Anyone can join even if they don't know the prerequisites - though their understanding of the super rigorous proofs will be slightly impaired. Goal is to prepare learners for AMC 10 - level math: particularly to get qualifying scores for AIME.

Tutor Qualifications

I am an experienced mathematics problem solver. Along with other qualifications, I have:

- qualified for AIME twice, both on the 10 and the 12.

- received a 4 and a 9 on the respective AIMES

- participated in ARML, BMT, and HMMT.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

This series is incredibly dense and full of novel mathematics - missing a session would undoubtedly put a learner at a disadvantage. Makeup sessions will be available though - and please do not miss too many sessions without giving me prior notice or else I will be forced to withdraw you.

About the Tutor

Hey there! I'm a current undergraduate freshman at Stony Brook University, and I love the STEM fields most out of all my subjects in school! With that being said, though I tutor mostly competitive math nowadays, I also tutor high school math and science. I also join many sessions on Schoolhouse, because there are so many things to learn and enjoy in Schoolhouse - though I haven't joined many series recently, I had a lot of fun in Taeho's Korean Camp last summer! Outside of Schoolhouse, I love to play basketball and Pokemon.
