Program for K–12 Fundamental Math
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.

Program for AP Math, College Math, and Above
AP Calculus AB/BC, Single Variable Calculus
We offer two distinct versions of Calculus.
AP Calculus AB/BC. This course focuses heavily on exam preparation and strictly follows the College Board’s AP exam requirements. Mock exams are integrated into the course to help students practice and prepare for the actual exams.
Single Variable Calculus. This course offers a more comprehensive introduction to Calculus. Toward the end of the course, students will have the opportunity to work on group projects that explore real-world applications of differentiation and integration. These projects are based on Dr. Xue’s past teaching materials from Ohio State University. The course content may extend beyond the minimum requirements for the AP Calculus AB/BC exams, focusing on developing a solid and intuitive understanding of the fundamental concepts. Students who engage with material beyond the AP exam's scope typically perform better on the exams and have a more enriching learning experience.
Other Topics We Teach

New Student Guide – Getting Started with Our Classes
All small-group lessons are conducted via Zoom and are recorded, capturing the shared screen and audio only. Dr. Xue’s classes are limited to 12 students, and student teachers' classes are capped at 6 students. Thanks to our small class sizes, every student has multiple opportunities to answer questions during each live session. Dr. Xue closely monitors each student’s progress, and if any gaps in understanding are identified, she recommends targeted additional work or specific classes and recordings to address them.
Payments and Refunds Tuition is collected on a monthly basis for all academic-year classes and biweekly for summer classes. Withdrawal must be done one week ahead of time. Payment and Refund Polices
Parent-Teacher Conferences (15-min long, $30 each, Recommended) We offer parent-teacher conferences at the 4–6 week mark, towards the end of a course, and as needed. We recommend attending at least one conference for each course lasting more than 10 weeks. These sessions provide a valuable opportunity to discuss your child’s progress, gain insights into their learning, and receive personalized advice for their educational journey. Please contact us to schedule these conferences.
Sample Recordings Check out our Sample Videos to get a feel of our pre-recorded materials. Live lesson recordings are available upon request.

Chloe Mom, IA, Geometry
“My child rarely has very positive feedback about online classes; most of the times she just feels it is okay. However, when it comes to your classes, she would say, ‘I like the teacher’.”
Devisree Dad, PA, Number Theory
"You class is absolutely good. She really liked it, ..., especially the fact that you answer all of the 'why' questions which makes math interesting."
Jodie Mom, OH, Geometry
"Today, Jodie came home and said that she was the only one in the class who scored full marks on the proof questions that you taught. Other classmates who are usually better than her didn't perform well on the test either."

“The teacher is very responsible, encouraging, and cares about the students. That’s what we like the most about the school. ”
Winston Mom, TX, Pre-Algebra
“After listening to Dr. Xue's 25-minute class and reviewing my child's notes, I noticed several strengths:
A commitment to live problem-solving, which provides a step-by-step logical reasoning process that serves as a great example for students.
The consistent use of questions to ensure that students are thinking critically and receiving real-time guidance, rather than simply having the teacher solve the problems.
The examples presented progress from simple to complex, reinforcing the students' understanding of the concepts.
My child mentioned that some concepts were difficult to grasp immediately and that they need to watch the recording again for better understanding.”
