A Smarter, Deeper Maths Approach

Master mathematics up to international standards

We focus not just on test-taking or memorizing formulas, but on truly understanding concepts, building problem-solving skills, and thinking critically.

Our Math Learning Approach

Inspired by Tradition, Powered by Innovation

At KidMathClub, our teaching is rooted in the tradition of mathematical circles—a rich, exploratory model from the post-Soviet academic world, known for nurturing deep problem-solving skills and collaboration. As this method spread globally, especially in the U.S., we brought it to the UK and enriched it with Western creativity and student-focused learning. The result is a unique blend of rigour, curiosity, and inspiration—designed to grow confident, independent mathematical thinkers.

  • Where do the sessions take place?
    We offer online sessions. Prefer learning face-to-face? In-person tutoring sessions are available upon request! You can choose the format that suits your schedule and location best.
  • What kind of materials do you use?
    For Maths Circle: We use Olympiad-style problems and advanced math puzzles designed to challenge and grow mathematical thinking. ​For our Maths Club: We use Olympiad-style problems and advanced math puzzles with a special emphasis on logical reasoning and programming concepts. These materials are designed to stimulate mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills, far beyond what is typically covered in standard school worksheets. For one-on-one tutoring: We tailor the materials based on each student's individual goals and current level. This may include: Preparation for selective school entrance exams Reinforcement of previously learned school material Filling knowledge gaps or advancing beyond the school curriculum All materials are selected with the student’s age, assessment results, and learning objectives in mind to ensure maximum growth and engagement.
  • What does a typical Maths Circle session look like?
    Each session follows a structured yet interactive format designed to spark deep thinking: The teacher presents a challenging problem—often inspired by Olympiad or logic-based maths. Students are given 2–3 similar problems to think about independently. After a few minutes, one student volunteers to start explaining or writing a solution. A group discussion begins: students contribute ideas, offer corrections, and build on each other’s thinking. The teacher never gives away the solution, but instead guides the group by asking questions, highlighting constraints, and encouraging deeper reasoning. Then the teacher presents the most optimal solution, explaining the limitations or advantages of the approaches suggested by the students. At the end of the lesson, homework is posted in a Google Doc based on the topics that students found challenging. Students upload their completed homework to a personal folder (labeled with the date of the lesson); this folder is private and accessible only to the student and the teacher. The teacher may also share common materials for group discussion—in that case, students comment and submit their solutions in a shared folder This method encourages collaboration, confidence, and independent thinking—hallmarks of mathematical maturity.
  • What does a typical Maths Club session look like?
    Each session begins with the teacher introducing and unpacking a specific mathematical topic. They demonstrate methods for solving typical problems, highlighting key patterns and common pitfalls. This helps students build a solid foundation for the type of thinking required. Then, the group transitions to solving problems—often starting with small coding experiments in Python. This hands-on approach allows students to "touch" the data and observe how math plays out in real time. Next, a challenging core problem is introduced, often drawn from Olympiad-level or advanced logic-based math. Students are given 2–3 problems to work on independently. After some time to think, one student volunteers to begin presenting a solution, either by writing or explaining it aloud. This sparks a group discussion, where students collaborate, suggest alternatives, and refine their logic together. Throughout, the teacher does not provide direct answers, but instead guides the group by posing questions, pointing out limitations, and encouraging deeper reasoning. This format nurtures independent problem-solving, critical thinking, and collaborative learning—all essential qualities for advanced mathematical growth.
  • What Language Are the Sessions Delivered?
    The entirety of our curriculum — sessions, problem sets, and materials — is conducted exclusively in English. Exceptions are made solely for sessions with tutor marked (in Russian or Rus), which are thoughtfully offered in Russian. This is a bespoke service, ideal for those wishing to immerse themselves in mathematics whilst concurrently refining their Russian language abilities.
  • Do you prepare students for competitions and Olympiads?
    Absolutely. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to develop the skills and mindset necessary for mathematical competitions, such as the UKMT Challenges, Mathematical Olympiads, and International Maths Competitions.
  • Is there homework?
    Yes, we provide optional, thoughtfully crafted homework after each session, which is shared via each student’s personal Google Drive folder. Homework is designed to reinforce the concepts explored in class — and it’s quite fun!
  • How do I know if this is right for my child for Maths Circle and Maths club?
    If your child loves puzzles, patterns, and asking “Why?”, and is looking for more than the school curriculum can offer — this is exactly the place for them. We always recommend starting with a trial session.
  • What is the difference between a Maths Circle and private tuition?
    A Math Circle is about exploration, dialogue, and community. Rather than focusing solely on curriculum goals or exams, students learn to think deeply, challenge assumptions, and collaborate with like-minded peers, guided by professional mathematicians.
  • How can I register?
    Simply contact us via our website or email, and we will be delighted to recommend the right group or tutor for your child. You can also book a free 15 mins consultation with us.
