A complete British Mathematical Olympiad preparation programme — problem-solving first, built around real BMO past papers and worked through until the standard techniques become instinct.
The BMO needs no new syllabus: it takes AS-level algebra and geometry and makes them much trickier, rewarding clean ideas and rigorous proof. We start by diagnosing where marks are lost, drill geometry and algebra from past papers with guided hints, and build up to full timed mocks.
What you'll learn
How to read an unfamiliar problem and find the key idea
Olympiad geometry: angle chasing, circle theorems and classic configurations
Olympiad algebra: manipulation, inequalities and polynomials
Number and series problems — the paper's opening questions
Writing rigorous, complete and well-presented proofs
Exam strategy and pacing across BMO1 and BMO2, with full timed mocks
Course curriculum
The full syllabus, taught topic by topic across fifteen 90-minute sessions and finished with full timed mock papers.

Frequently asked questions
Students preparing for the British Mathematical Olympiad — from those starting early to those a few weeks from the competition.
No. The programme covers material beyond A-Level/IB and builds what is required as it goes. Before each class, students review a short list of prerequisite topics; anything not yet covered at school can be self-studied or supported in extra sessions.
Fifteen 90-minute sessions, three a week over five weeks. Each session runs through homework, teaches one area in depth, then drills competition-style questions — finishing with full timed past papers.
Official and competition-level past papers organised by topic, our own question bank of original questions, timed question sets and full mock papers, plus solution notes.
