“My son is only 5.5 years old and has ADHD, but Meiram was able to keep him engaged for 60 minutes! We’re doing Kangaroo math and his explanation is easy to understand.”

— Parent of Kangaroo student (coached by Meiram Z.)

“Lilit Khiat is the best math tutor we have worked with. She easily found a way to engage with our son and connect with him to make him feel comfortable. She’s encouraging and makes math accessible to him, actually improving his participation and his drive for wanting to learn more. He’s always happier and feels better after coming out of a lesson.”

— Parent of younger student (coached by Lilit K.)

“Michael was a superb math tutor. He has an effective way of interacting with children that made our son look forward to his sessions. We can tell how our son’s logic has improved and his ability to solve complex word problems.”

— Parent of Kangaroo student (coached by Michael G.)

“Meiram is an outstanding math teacher. He’s patient, thorough, and takes the time to ensure his students truly understand the concepts. He has been an incredible support for all three of my children — ages 8, 13, and 15 — and each of them has significantly improved their math skills.”

— Parent of three (coached by Meiram Z.)

Why Our Math Kangaroo Coaching Wins

  • 1-on-1 coaching for grades 1–12 — lessons calibrated to your child’s exact Kangaroo level (Levels 1-2 through 11-12)
  • Russian Math methodology: pattern recognition, logic, and clever counting — the skills the Kangaroo actually rewards
  • Specialists in younger learners — coaches who know how to keep a 6- or 7-year-old engaged for a full lesson, not just an hour of drills
  • Confidence-building, not high-pressure: Kangaroo is often a child’s first competition — we treat it that way
  • Past Kangaroo papers on our platform — real problems from prior years, scored without penalty for guessing
  • A natural on-ramp to AMC 8 — the same coaches can scale your child up to AMC 8 when they’re ready

Live Video. Real Whiteboard. No Typing.

Most online Math Kangaroo programs are group sessions with typed chat — slow, clunky, and disconnected. We use 1-on-1 live video with an interactive whiteboard:

  • See your tutor explain problems in real time
  • Draw geometry, write equations, sketch your thinking
  • Ask questions immediately — no chat lag
  • Watch your coach walk through Kangaroo problems step by step

About Math Kangaroo

What is Math Kangaroo?

The Math Kangaroo is the world’s largest math competition — over 6 million students participate each year across 90+ countries. In the U.S. it’s administered by Math Kangaroo USA. It runs once a year, on the third Thursday of March.

Students compete at one of six levels by grade pair: Levels 1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8, 9-10, and 11-12. The test is multiple choice with no penalty for wrong answers — 24 questions in 75 minutes for grades 1-4, 30 questions for grades 5-12. Top scorers nationally earn medals, trophies, and prizes.

Why it matters

Math Kangaroo is often a child’s first math competition — designed to be approachable, fun, and confidence-building rather than gatekeeping. Problems reward logic and pattern recognition, not memorized formulas, so even a fourth-grader can solve a problem an adult would find tricky.

For families on the competition track, Math Kangaroo is the natural on-ramp to AMC 8 in middle school and AMC 10/12 + AIME later. Strong Kangaroo scorers consistently transition into stronger AMC results because they’ve already built the problem-solving instinct.

What good Kangaroo prep looks like

The Russian Math methodology fits the Kangaroo perfectly: problem-solving over drill, intuition over formulas. A typical Kangaroo problem asks a student to reason from a picture or spot a clever pattern. Repetitive arithmetic worksheets won’t help; thinking about why a pattern works will.

Sessions blend untimed exploration (build curiosity) with timed mini-papers close to the test (build pacing without pressure). Coaches use real past Kangaroo problems and break the ones the student misses into smaller insights so the same pattern doesn’t catch them next time.
