Starkville Matheletes
Our Vision
Is your child ready to take their math skills to the next level?
We offer a supportive and stimulating environment designed to challenge and prepare kids for math competitions.
The time spent with us is an investment to cultivate a love for learning and solving problems, equip them with problem-solving skills which may last a life-time.
Why work with us?
Our small group setting allows for an active learning setting aiding in understanding approaches to tackling AMCⓘ-style problems where mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth.
Children are encouraged to present to their peers, and answering questions will boost the child's problem-solving confidence.
We'll have mock tests and discuss strategies/ time management techniques/ help develop the mental stamina needed to excel under pressure.
Finally, we are passionate applied-math parents😁, working with our kids as well. We tailor our discussions of the content required for these competitive exams both from our individual applied research streams and the traditional proofs.
