Math, Programming and Research
“When students encounter good teachers like you, it benefits them for a life time.”
A Parent from 2023 Pre-Algebra and AMC 8 Classes
We are a dedicated math school with Dr. Xue as an advisor and mentor, supporting many students at various stages of their studies. We believe that math should be fun and engaging, and students should be challenged at an appropriate level. To achieve this, we create personalized education programs tailored to individual needs and schedules. Our programs emphasize solid training in foundational math skills and fosters the development of intuition needed to solve complex problems. We encourage creativity and value quality over speed. For students who excel in math, we guide them to participate in math competitions such as MATHCOUNTS, AMC 8, 10, 12, AIME, and USA(J)MO and explore research projects in applied math and data science. Our student teachers offer private tutoring and co-teach with Dr. Xue in subjects including, but not limited to, Elementary Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, AMC 8, and MATHCOUNTS with high professionalism and at an affordable rate. In addition to teaching K-12 math, programming and research classes, Dr. Xue also instructs a range of college-level math topics, mentors undergraduate and graduate students in academic and career development, and provides ongoing training and support for our student-teacher team.
About Our Classes & Camps
-
Our small-group classes are student-centered and scheduled according to students' needs. Most classes are developed based on student requests. Typically, students enroll in one or two classes each week. Returning students are given priority to enroll before new students.
We don't simply follow the explanations in the chosen textbooks. We improve the materials in numerous places and supplement with our own resources whenever necessary. We integrate advanced mathematics and real-world applications whenever possible to broaden students’ understanding. These enhancements and connections are grounded in Dr. Xue's deep expertise in the subject.
We offer a comprehensive collection of pre-recorded video lectures and live session recordings, available for students to subscribe to for self-paced study. Each recording is accompanied with corresponding PDF note. Students can schedule Q&A or private tutoring sessions at an additional cost.

Our elementary math courses integrate the strengths of Singapore Math and Beast Academy to provide a comprehensive learning experience.
Our middle school and high school math courses primarily follow the AoPS curriculum, enhanced with our own supplemental materials.

Dr. Xue offers open-ended team research projects for high school students, based on recent NSF-funded research in applied mathematics, computational biology, or data science. These carefully designed projects give students the opportunity to learn proper research methodologies, develop the right attitudes, and present their findings at local science fairs.
This program is inspired by Dr. Xue’s NSF Career Award and her experience as a research project mentor for gifted high school students through the Summer Institute hosted by the Ohio Supercomputer Center.

Dr. Xue offers consultation sessions on personalized math education, starting math competitions in middle school, as well as undergraduate and graduate studies and career development. She also provides private lessons for students with special needs or those requiring individualized attention. Every minute of her lessons is dedicated to supporting your child’s learning. Please be sure to arrive on time and come prepared.
Our student teachers are available for private tutoring. They have successfully passed rigorous interviews and receive ongoing training and support from Dr. Xue. They excel not only in math but also in communication skills.

School News
Biweekly Newsletters Since Nov. 2024
Dec. 10, 2023: Over 1/3 of the students in our summer AMC 10 program achieved AIME qualification in 2023. We don’t have any magic stories to share. All credits go to our students’ self-motivation and hard work.
Dec. 8, 2023: Dr. Xue's Math School has started a Special Creativity Award for the MN State Science & Engineering Fair, for best creative use of mathematics in pre-college science and research. Two middle schoolers and two high schoolers will receive the award each year starting 2025.
Prospective Students
We are a selective online math school, and in the past, we have admitted approximately 60% of the applicants we received. Our criteria go beyond academics. We offer programs tailored to students with a genuine interest in learning and are dedicated to helping them reach their full potential, regardless of their current academic level. To begin the admissions process, please complete the New Student Intake Form to share your child's math and science background.
Some students begin with a few private lessons with Dr. Xue before committing to a long-term course plan. This approach allows them to get a head start and receive personalized guidance on their study plan for the next year or two. Others opt for a few trial lessons in our small-group classes or subscribe to our pre-recorded lessons for self-guided study. Please refer to our New Student Guide to find the option that best suits your needs.
