Hi! I’m a middle-schooler who loves math — and loves teaching it even more.

This site started as a small coaching project. I was helping a few kids in my neighborhood get ready for AMC 8 and MathCounts, and I kept making little practice sheets and one-page “trick” explanations because nothing I could find online really clicked for kids my age — most stuff was either too dry (textbook‑y) or too watered down (cute animations, no actual math).

It is now my Girl Scouts Silver Award project. The Silver Award is about identifying a community need and building something that fills it — something that lasts. I picked competitive math because I think every elementary or middle-school kid who is curious about it deserves a fun, free way to learn. Not just kids who can afford expensive coaching.

What you’ll find here

• Lessons that teach concepts the way I would want them taught — short, with pictures, with the “trick” stated out loud, and with worked examples from real AMC problems.
• Practice problems from every AMC 8 from 1985 to 2026 (no AMC contest in 2021).
• Mock tests — time yourself, get a score, retake any time.
• A dashboard so you can see what you’ve mastered and what still needs revising.

How it was built

The lesson content, the problem walk‑throughs, the teaching style — those are all mine. They came out of months of coaching real kids and noticing what makes something click vs. fly over their heads.

Building the website itself would have been impossible without AI, which helped me turn my pile of teaching notes into something a kid anywhere in the world can actually use. I picked the words; AI turned them into a Flask app, a database, lessons, mock tests, a dashboard, all of it. I’m proud of what we built together.

Mission — equal opportunity in math

Math is for everyone. But the way competitive-math prep actually works in the real world is anything but equal.

In Singapore, a typical group enrichment class for AMC 8 or MathCounts runs around S$100 for a single 90‑minute session. Private coaching is several times that. Over a year that’s thousands of dollars per kid, just to learn things their school doesn’t cover. Plenty of families simply can’t pay that — and so plenty of curious, capable kids never get the chance to see whether they’d love competitive math.

That’s not fair. A kid’s ZIP code or their family’s income shouldn’t decide whether they get to fall in love with math.

I’m not pretending a website replaces a great human coach — it doesn’t. But a kid sitting alone with a curious mind and a laptop should have something: real problems, real explanations, a place to mess up and try again without being charged by the minute. That’s what this site is. My small contribution to a more level playing field.

This site will always be free and non‑commercial. No ads, no paywalls, no premium tier, no email harvesting, no “upgrade for full access.” If you can read it, you have everything.
