Our Online Classes - A profound and rewarding experience

The Sega Math Academy classes are all online, live, and synchronous. Students come here from all over the world. There are NO pre-recorded materials. In our virtual classroom environment, students are able to interact live with the instructor and their classmates through audio, video, and text chat. Our exciting and rigorous math classes cover curriculum for students in grades 4 through 12, and are taught by a professional mathematician with close to 25 years of experience.

Upcoming 2022-2023 Classes

We offer a wide variety of middle and high school math classes, as well as math competition training classes for AMC 8/Mathcounts, AMC 10/12/AIME and advanced math olympiad sessions (USAMO, USAJMO). Our classes are well above grade level, and often combine computational with proof-style arguments. They aim at keepings students interested and challenged. Please contact me for learning pods opportunities, mathematical circles, and homeschool/1-1 classes.
