Pre-requisites:
The attendees should have a sound understanding of Mathematical concepts. The sessions will spend a minimal time on the basic theory and will be focused on the application of it to solve complex problems. So, a very sound understanding of the Mathematical concept is a minimum requirement. This course is ideally aimed at the students in the highest Maths group and who can show persistence and grit to perform at the Olympiad level. Ideally, students who have got the invitation to Olympiad in their previous years OR are expecting the same this year are most suitable.
The attendees and the parents have to register for the course with the right expectation and mindset. This is not a usual year 7 and 8 Maths curricula revision course. This is aimed at Olympiad preparation. Undoubtedly, there will be times when the attendees may feel overwhelmed and may have the urge to quit. A right mindset and support from the parents is a must to perform at the level of top 1000 mathematician across UK. Please note that the 200 medal winners from more than 750,000 aspirants are those who show exceptional grit and commitment.
High-speed Internet Access with a speaker/headphone in a quiet room – To get the benefit out of the 2 hour sessions over webex, you will need this. No installations or licenses are required for the webex.
All the sessions will involve audio—video interactions with very minimal expectations to write during the sessions. However, if they are comfortable, the attendees will be required to take their own notes alongside the session. No notes/presentations/documents (downloadable or via email)will be provided from our side, except that is available on the website.
Gmail id – The course will be on Google classroom and all attendees will need a gmail id. The attendees or their parents will have to upload the tracker before each session to mark the completion of homework.

All attendees need to login 5 minutes before the time.
There will be a homework of roughly about 2 hours after each session that needs to be submitted on time.
The responsibility of doing the homework on time, updating and uploading the tracker is of each individual attendee.
Every session will be recorded, and the recordings will be available online for any time replay. A session will ‘not’ be repeated on individual requests.
Price: £570 - £14.6/hr
For about 26 class sessions of 90 minutes over webex
Base Price = £400
Price, If the child qualifies for Olympiad = £500 (*)
If the child wins a medal in Olympiad = £600 (*)
(*) The additional price over and above the base price is a bonus to be paid only if the child gets selected for Olympiad or wins a medal
If the price above is a constraint, there is an option to do a self-paced self-learning. This is by just subscribing to the online course and get the access to the recordings of the sessions and questions at £100. You will not be able to attend the weekly sessions and will have to do the course at your own pace without any instructor guidance/intervention.
