Instructors
Our teachers are high school students who have done exceedingly well in math competitions and math courses in their schools. Part of our instructor base also consists of parent volunteers whom we greatly appreciate.
Note: While in virtual instruction, all lessons will be taught by our leadership team. However, parents are still an important part of the picture! Please continue to support your child in their mathematical endeavors and, if they choose to participate, proctor them during our virtual competitions this year.
