Course Structure

This course contains 20 LIVE 1-hour video sessions, of which 16 are lessons, and 4 are exam review sessions that discuss the course's 4 practice 1-hour exams (homework). Each class is co-taught by 2 of our Stars. In total, there are over 150 problems.

Each lesson contains several problems which are meant to be unfamiliar to you, so that they inspire you to invent your own solutions. In our LIVE video class format, you propose your ideas, and we brainstorm together with you to construct a variety of alternative solutions using the class's own ideas. This actively involves you in discovering mathematics.

Each practice exam contains 20 problems, of which half are of average difficulty, and the other half are very challenging.

I love the lesson

RV

My son was very happy and he told me that he had learnt a lot of new things and new ways of thinking. He got really engaged, although, before starting the course, he would say "I don't want to study during my vacations"... Thank you for your leadership and educational skills during the Module 0 course that my son took during the past 4 weeks.
