This page contains a list of referrals for math mentorship at various levels. They are divided into two categories:

• Small programs offering either 1:1 instruction or small group lessons; and
• Individuals offering 1:1 instruction.

The lists below are in alphabetical order. Larger programs (not in the categories above) are not included in this list. The descriptions are provided by the individuals, not by me. Not all entries are vetted; use at your own risk. Listing on this page does not imply endorsement.

Suggestions for additions to this list (including self-nominations) are welcome; submit a pull request or (less preferably) email me.

Individuals#

Alex Villaro Krüger#

• Contact: $\text{alex}@\text{drechslerspil}{.}\text{dk}$
• 1:1 instruction
• I’m interested in tutoring one on one with students who are interested in olympiads and in exploring problems over a longer time (for instance problems leading to existing theory). I study mathematics in Moscow, but I am from Denmark where I have taken initiative to Nordic participation in RMM, among other things. However, I do not have personal experience in US specific olympiads such as AIME.

Luka Macharashvili#

• Contact: $\text{olympicmathtutor}@\text{gmail}{.}\text{com}$
• Website: olympicmathtutor.com
• Open to both 1:1 and group lessons.
• I’m Luka Macharashvili, a mathematician with a passion for nurturing young talents and sharing my love for mathematics. My journey in the world of problem-solving began with a remarkable achievement as a 2019 IMO medalist. In 2023, I had the privilege of leading the Georgian team at the Romanian Master of Mathematics (RMM) and Balkan Mathematical Olympiad (BMO). Furthermore, I’m honored to have tutored the 2023 IMO Gold medalist, guiding them towards their impressive success. If you’re eager to explore the fascinating world of mathematics, you can find me on my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/@OlympicMathTutor). With over three years of experience in IMO preparation and more than a year dedicated to AIME and AMC, I’m ready to help you achieve your mathematical aspirations. Let’s embark on this mathematical journey together!

Soroush Rezaei#

• Contact: $\text{soroush.rezaei78}@\text{gmail}{.}\text{com}$
• Open to both 1:1 and group lessons.
• Beauty, excitement, and wonder! These are the emotions that arise within me when I solve mathematical problems and discover new ideas. The main reason for my choice to teach Olympiads is that I can share this enthusiasm with students. In my opinion, the best way for a student to learn mathematics is to face challenges that are suitable for their level, so they can progress along with experiencing these positive feelings. My effort is to have such a teaching style. More precisely, my teaching style focuses on ideas. In my classes, by teaching classified ideas, you will achieve proper mastery in problem-solving and in more advanced levels, you will also learn how to create new ideas!

Jacob Guo-Xue#

• Contact: $\text{xinkeguoxue}@\text{gmail}{.}\text{com}$
• Website: jacoblark.com
• Open to small group lessons and 1:1 tutoring, including 1:1 correspondence tutoring via email.
• I am able to teach problem solving for math competitions, math concepts needed for math competitions, extracurricular math topics outside of math competitions, and school math more in depth than you’d see in school. I teach math for the sake of explaining math well, in a way that is fun and accessible, with proper rigour if needed, and not for the sake of doing well on math competitions.
