Dr. Xue and some of our student teachers offer personalized coaching sessions to help students prepare for the AMC 8 and MATHCOUNTS. The process includes the following steps:
Test Completion: Students complete a previous test (or selected problems on a specific topic) and submit their results, along with any questions they encountered using this form.
Feedback & Solutions: Dr. Xue will provide brief feedback, along with written and video solutions to the test questions. Additional recordings on related topics may also be provided for further review.
Live Meeting: After studying the provided materials, students can schedule a 15-minute live meeting with Dr. Xue or a 30-minute meeting with a student teacher to ask additional questions and receive further explanations.
Recommended Strategy:
Start with the most recent test (e.g., 2024) to familiarize yourself with the current difficulty level.
Work through the last 5–10 years of tests (e.g., 2017–2023) in chronological order (e.g., 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2022, and 2023). These tests increase in difficulty each year. The earlier tests will help build confidence and reinforce key concepts, while the later tests will challenge you and refine your problem-solving skills.
Rate: $35 per session. If you have multiple students interested in this program, you are welcome to combine the live meetings into longer sessions.
