Curriculum for Middle and High School Fundamental Math (Text: AoPS + Supplementary Materials)

We prioritizes a deep understanding of concepts and methods, integrating problem-solving, research thinking, and real-world applications. Our focus is on fostering lifelong learning while inspiring curiosity and critical thinking—key components for long-term success. Our courses build upon and go beyond the material in the Art of Problem Solving textbooks, elevating it to a higher level. The AoPS textbooks are widely regarded as some of the best resources for middle and high school math courses, specifically designed for gifted students. While these books offer a solid collection of topics and problems, we found that the explanations of the underlying mathematical concepts and problem-solving methods could be improved.

Our pre-recorded videos present the content within a more rigorous and expansive framework, using concise, intuitive explanations. They cover every example from each section, as well as all challenge problems at the end of each section and chapter. Additionally, the videos include necessary corrections to the texts and feature a variety of supplementary materials that expand upon the book's content and highlight real-world applications. All pre-recorded videos come with hand-written PDF notes, where applicable.

Our live lectures offer additional explanations as needed, address students' questions, incorporate more problem-solving, and explore topics of interest in greater depth. These lectures adopt a research-oriented instructional approach that fosters curiosity, creativity, and mathematical expression. Live lecture recordings can be subscribed at a discounted rate.

All our live online classes include pre-class materials, such as pre-recorded videos, lecture notes, reading assignments, and practice problems, followed by interactive live lectures via Zoom or Google Meet. Our pre-recorded videos and lecture notes can be ordered separately for self-paced study.

Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1

We offer small-group classes (4–6 students) on these topics. Each course contains 36 lessons, which can be completed over 36 weeks with one lesson per week, or 18 weeks with two lessons per week. Each lesson includes 30–50 minute pre-recorded videos by Dr. Xue and a live session conducted by a qualified student teacher. Tuition is $35–$45 per lesson.

Geometry, Algebra 2, PreCalculus

Dr. Xue teaches these topics in a small-group setting (4–12 students). Each course consists of 36 lessons, which can be completed over 36 weeks with one lesson per week, or 18 weeks with two lessons per week. Geometry and Precalculus are also offered as 12-week courses during each summer, with 2–3 lessons per week. Each course consists of 36 lessons, which can be completed over 36 weeks with one lesson per week or 18 weeks with two lessons per week. Each lesson includes 40–60 minute pre-recorded videos and a 60–70 minute live session. Tuition is $55 per lesson for Geometry and $60 per lesson for Algebra 2 and Precalculus.

In addition to the core curriculum, Algebra 2 also has 6 lessons of extensional material focusing on advanced topics, recommended for students interested in diving deeper into selected areas or preparing for the AMC 12 and AIME contests. Geometry and Precalculus are also offered as 12-week summer courses, with 2–3 lessons per week.

Elementary Math 3, 4, 5

Our student teachers offer small-group classes (4–6 students) or weekly private tutoring sessions for elementary math, all conducted live via Zoom or Google Meet. We use curricula such as Beast Academy and Singapore Math, along with tools like IXL for practice and reinforcement, based on students’ preferences. The hourly rate is $15 for small-group classes, $30–$40 for private tutoring, and $20–$30 for semi-private tutoring. For self-paced study, students can order Beast Academy books or online subscriptions through our bookstore at a discounted rate.
