"Math cool"

Yesterday, my daughter returned from the Math Cool camp. I want to share my feedback in case it might be useful to someone. It would be a great understatement to say she enjoyed the camp! She was absolutely thrilled! Although, she is in the 10th grade now and has considerable experience with math camps..

1. Studies - The level of education was advanced. My daughter was extremely satisfied with it, although she studies mathematics at the prestigious Moscow school, has been to the Team, and is well-versed in the field. The most important thing was the individual approach to each child. In one group, children received different worksheets depending on their level. At the end of the camp, there was an oral exam based on the program covered. There was preparation for it and consultations throughout the day before it. Overall, everything was of very high quality, useful and interesting.

2. Living Conditions - Excellent, like a recreation center. There were 2-3 people per room with all necessary amenities.

3. Food - Beyond all praise. A large buffet with a lot of variety. For example, lunch included approximately 5 types of meat dishes, 5 types of side dishes, and salads.

4. Entertainment - Classes ended at 4 PM (there were 3 lessons) followed by relaxation time filled with interesting activities such as quests, quizzes, board games, and various intellectual games. The main thing was the complete involvement of the teachers in this process. They played everything together, interacted, and created a very friendly and joyful atmosphere. I couldn’t get in touch with my daughter until 10:30 PM; she was always playing something😊. At 10:30 PM, everyone had to be in their rooms and get ready for bed. No mischief allowed!

In conclusion, my daughter returned home happy and filled with positive emotions and a strong motivation to "crack on with math," as they say now. In fact, today she has opened her worksheets from Khamovniki and has been sitting there solving math problems.

I really enjoyed the summer school. The classes were interesting. We covered many new topics while reviewing already familiar ones. We also solved a lot of interesting problems during the lessons and mathematical games. The teachers (Anna and Askar) explained the material clearly and helped if something wasn't working out. They were always friendly and responsive, and the atmosphere in class was calm. It was interesting to discuss things or just talk with them. Thank you for Cyprus!

The very idea of the Summer Mathematics School 2023 in Cyprus was a lifesaver for us — working parents — trying to provide our child with a long vacation by the sea combined with productive activities.

Moreover, we didn't have to worry about organizing and preparing the necessary documents. We were given clear instructions on what documents to prepare, how to properly format them, whom to send them to, and how to monitor the process. Anna and Askar (and later, Sofia, who accompanied the children on their journey) were in touch almost 24/7 whenever the connection allowed.

It was nerve-wracking to send our 15-year-old child abroad without relatives, but in reality, we had no worries or anxieties. 😉

Initially, we felt it would be financially challenging to afford this trip, but Anna and Askar offered us a viable option. A special thanks to the sponsor of the trip!

Our daughter was absolutely satisfied and happy. She enjoyed the classes (6 lessons a day), liked the organizers and her classmates, and appreciated the living and dining conditions.

They studied, swam in the sea, sunbathed, played board games and tennis in the evenings, went shopping for treats, had fun at the water park, and even went on an excursion to the historic center of Limassol - all in a close-knit, warm company.

Erika remembers these three weeks with particular fondness and considers them one of the best of her summer 2023, and she has something to compare it to. 😉 After the Summer Mathematics School in Cyprus, Erika immediately went to the Summer Astronomy School at Kapitsa Physical Technical Institute, and then to the Mathematical School for the Master Classes with the best mathematics teachers in Russia.

In summary, I can confidently say that Anna and Askar are doing a fantastic job! Huge thanks for providing such an excellent opportunity for a productive summer vacation. I have already recommended sending children to their summer sessions to my acquaintances and will continue to do so. Thank you.

"Anna Valeryevna, good evening! Thank you so much for all the knowledge and skills in Olympiad mathematics that you have passed on to us!!! Good luck!!!"

"We are very grateful to you for the high level of teaching 🌹 Thank you so much!"

"We really enjoyed it too! We will definitely go again next year. A very worthy amount of mathematics along with completely excellent living conditions and active leisure."
