Your first lesson is free. Tutriva matches Vancouver students with tutors who train for the AMC — building the problem-solving skills that competition math rewards. Book your free first lesson →
The AMC (American Mathematics Competitions) is where strong math students stand out — and it asks for something school math rarely teaches: creative, flexible problem-solving under time pressure. AMC results also open doors, from AIME qualification to standout university applications. Training is different from regular tutoring: it’s about strategy, pattern recognition, and a deep toolkit — exactly what an experienced competition tutor builds.
Training for each level

- AMC 8 (Grade 8 and below) — 25 questions in 40 minutes; the ideal on-ramp to competition math.
- AMC 10 / 12 (high school) — a strong score qualifies students for the AIME, the next step toward USA(J)MO.
- Pathway — AMC → AIME → USA(J)MO, plus the problem-solving that strengthens all of a student’s math.
What our AMC tutors cover
- Number theory, combinatorics, geometry, and algebra for competitions
- Problem-solving strategy, speed, and accuracy under timed conditions
- Past-paper practice and worked solutions
- AIME-level techniques for students ready to advance
- Building a personal “toolkit” of methods, not memorized answers
Training is matched to your child’s level and target — from a first AMC 8 to AIME qualification.

Frequently asked questions
What’s the difference between AMC 8, 10, and 12?
AMC 8 is for Grade 8 and under; AMC 10 and 12 are for high schoolers, and a strong score qualifies students for the AIME. A tutor helps choose the right level and plan.
Is competition training different from regular math tutoring?
Yes. School math builds the curriculum; competition training builds creative problem-solving, strategy, and speed. Both are valuable — this is the second kind.
My child is new to competitions — is that OK?
Absolutely. AMC 8 is a great starting point, and tutors build from any level.
Are lessons in person or online?
Both — in Vancouver, online, or a mix.
