mathleague.org presents a series of math contest preparation classes for the 2009-2010 school year. These classes will review content and strategies to help students succeed in competitive math events. Most in-person classes consist of 15 or 16 classroom hours; the price per student for each class is $400 with NO materials fee and NO additional costs! This spring we are especially pleased to announce a USAJMO prep class to help students prepare for this brand new AMC contest. The class is designed for students who anticipate qualifying for the USAJMO or USAMO for the first time, and will cover basic proof writing skills and some of the easier USAMO problems from the past. Online classes run for 12 sessions of one hour each and cost $200 per student for each class.
We believe our prices and quality of instruction compare very favorably with other contest preparation options in the Bay Area. Before signing up for any competitive math class, be sure to compare prices and instructors to make sure you are getting the best value for your money!
Most in-person classes listed below are held at the facilities of Manhattan GMAT in Santa Clara, CA, at 2905 Stender Way (Suite 66). Click here for directions and a map.
