The AIME is a challenging, invitation-only examination designed to identify and challenge students with exceptional mathematical problem-solving abilities. It is offered exclusively to students who excelled and achieved top-tier scores on the AMC 10 and/or AMC 12. It serves as the crucial second step in the series of contests that lead to the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO) and USA Junior Mathematical Olympiad (USAJMO), and eventually the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).
The AIME covers the exact same high school curriculum as the AMC 10 and AMC 12—including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, number theory, and combinatorics—but the questions are significantly more difficult. They require a deep synthesis of multiple concepts and highly advanced analytical thinking, while still explicitly excluding calculus.
Our online AIME tutoring program provides the targeted, advanced quantitative knowledge required to achieve a top-tier score. By preparing effectively with us, students can significantly boost their chances of qualifying for the prestigious USAMO or USAJMO and stand out on their college applications.
Get personalized guidance, practice challenging competition problems, and develop effective strategies with one-on-one AIME tutoring tailored to your learning needs.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
AIME preparation emphasizes applying familiar mathematical concepts in unfamiliar and challenging ways.
The AIME is challenging because students must combine mathematical concepts, recognize patterns, and develop solutions independently. Unlike multiple-choice exams, students must calculate and enter an integer answer without relying on answer choices.

The program follows a structured approach that covers every key mathematical learning objective tested in the competition, ensuring the learner can take the exam with full confidence.
This method allows students to learn complex, Olympiad-level math concepts at their own pace, which is ideal for an exam requiring deep analytical thinking and multi-step logic.
Yes. Online tutoring provides flexibility, convenience, and access to subject experts who specialize in advanced mathematics.
Absolutely. The AIME is exclusively designed for the highest-performing advanced learners. Our tutoring allows them to focus entirely on the highest-difficulty questions, improving their chances of qualifying for the USAMO or USAJMO.
The American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME) is an invitational mathematics competition for students who qualify through the AMC 10 or AMC 12. It tests advanced problem-solving skills across algebra, geometry, number theory, combinatorics, and related areas.
AIME problems cover algebra, geometry, number theory, combinatorics, and probability. Students need to apply mathematical concepts creatively, recognize patterns, and solve multi-step problems.
The AIME is more challenging than the AMC 10 and AMC 12. It has 15 problems with integer answers from 000 to 999, requiring students to generate answers rather than select from multiple choices.
No. Calculus is not required for the AIME. Preparation focuses on high-school mathematics and advanced problem-solving techniques, including algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics.
An AIME tutor can help students identify knowledge gaps, understand difficult problems, explore alternative solution methods, and improve mathematical reasoning. Personalized practice and feedback can also help students develop accuracy and effective time-management strategies.
Students should review core mathematical concepts, solve past AIME problems, analyze mistakes, and practice explaining their reasoning. Timed practice can help students build confidence and learn to allocate their time effectively.
One-on-one online AIME tutoring provides personalized instruction, guided problem-solving, and immediate feedback. Lessons can focus on a student's weaker topics and introduce strategies for tackling challenging competition problems.
