** Students at our school use these videos for self-paced study and as pre-class materials for our interactive live Zoom sessions. Students enrolled in AoPS text-based, self-paced, and virtual classes often order these videos to help them stay on track with their coursework and homework.

“The videos help me learn more efficient strategies not taught in the textbook” — Student in Our Pre-Algebra Live 2024–25

“More explicit videos are awesome for homeschool kids.” — Parent of a Student in AoPS Introduction to Algebra A Self-Paced.

“He’s liking the videos a lot and thinks they will really make things go more smoothly.” — Parent of a Student in AoPS Introduction to Counting and Probability Self-Paced.

“Very helpful recordings, and they helped me with week 11 problems.” — Student in AoPS Virtual Academy Contest Geometry, Our Number Theory for AMC 10 & 12 Live, and Weekly Private Lessons with Dr. Xue

"Your classes are like the Hawaiian restaurant I visited on vacation—one of the best experiences of my life." "Your videos are so helpful." "This is so elegant. Why don’t teachers teach this at school?! Why doesn’t the book explain it this way?!" — Student Enrolled in AoPS Online Intermediate Algebra and Precalculus.

“The videos are helpful. I feel sometimes the kids get lazy and don’t read the book in detail and get confused. With the video it helps to fill in the gap information and easier understanding the material to work on the problems on review and challenge problems. So glad that we can do the videos.” — Parent of a Student Using AoPS Introduction to Algebra and Geometry for Self-Study at Home

Our fundamental math courses build upon—and go beyond—the material in the Art of Problem Solving textbooks, elevating it to a more advanced level. These books are widely recognized as the best resources for middle and high school math, especially for gifted students. We have found that these books offer a rich collection of topics and problems, and we aim to provide clearer explanations of the underlying mathematical concepts and methods.

Our pre-recorded videos present the material within a broader and more rigorous framework, using clear, concise, and intuitive explanations. They thoroughly cover every example from each section, as well as all challenge problems at the end of each section and chapter. The videos also include corrections to the textbook where necessary, along with a variety of supplementary materials that expand on the book’s content and explore real-world applications. Each video is accompanied by hand-written PDF notes to support student learning.

Our small, pod-like live lectures provide additional explanations as needed, address students' questions, incorporate more problem-solving, and explore topics of interest in greater depth. These lectures use a research-oriented instructional approach that fosters curiosity, creativity, and mathematical expression. To ensure a thorough understanding of the material, students may need additional guidance.

Q&A sessions either with Dr. Xue or a qualified student teacher can be arranged for an extra fee via Zoom or Google Meet. All of our student teachers undergo rigorous interviews, followed by ongoing training and support from Dr. Xue. At this time, we do not offer regularly scheduled office hours, but this may become an option in the future.

We also offer video solutions to all past AMC 8, AMC 10, AMC 12, and AIME problems.
