Junior Kangaroo Gold

My son got a gold in this year's junior kangaroo, having taken Kevin's classes for both the JMC and the kangaroo. He's absolutely delighted, as are his school, and it's a great lesson for him in working hard and achieving something on the back of this.

Qualified for Junior Olmypiad

I just wanted to reach out and say that my daughter followed your course, and yesterday, we found out she achieved a Gold award and was invited to the Olympiad. She is only in Year 6, so this is a huge achievement and a wonderful source of affirmation and motivation for her. As a parent, you always believe in your child’s abilities, but this has developed real confidence in herself and her own potential. Thank you so much for the part you played in her journey.

Cayley Silver Medal

My daughter won a silver medal and global distinction in the 2026 Cayley Olympiad. Kevin's classes helped her understand how to structure her answers properly (which is the key to this kind of test). Kevin is simply one of the most effective (and likable) maths teacher in the world! A recording of each class is sent out after each lesson- so that parents can enjoy them too :) Paul Karvandi, 16th May 2026

Kevin is a wonderful teacher and his classes not only support confident mathematicians but are also excellent for those who are able mathematically and alongside stretching maths benefit from building confidence in their own abilities. My son always loves going to Kevin’s classes and was surprised and pleased to get a gold in this year’s IMC and to qualify for Kangaroo too.

JMO Success!

Starting from being so scared by the JMC past papers a few months ago to confidently scoring 32 in JMO, our 10-year-old child has greatly benefitted from and enjoyed Kevin’s video and live courses (step by step from Regular, Advanced and Elite JMC to Olympiad courses which are all well organised and prepared). Much appreciated to Kevin for his great teaching and wonderful communication.

JMO Gold Medal

My son attended the online Junior Olympiad classes which he thoroughly enjoyed. The classes were structured to enable him to practice real Olympiad questions in a fun, engaging and informative way. Kevin provided guidance throughout, and invaluable tips to succeed. My son won a gold medal!

JMO Gold Medal

I took the JMO advanced classes with Kevin. He is a great teacher and explained the problems really well. I got a gold medal and I’m super thrilled.

My daughter used Mathsaurus to work through JMC past papers and their clearly explained solutions. She also attended live sessions on Zoom, which she found stimulating and beneficial. Kevin is an excellent teacher who puts his pupils at ease. During those sessions, my daughter not only learned maths but also figured out how long she should spend on a question and even summoned up the courage to raise her hand and explain the solution. She had her confidence boosted. To our surprise and delight, she qualified for JMC Kangaroo. Thank you, Kevin.

We are so grateful to Kevin for the JMC revision lessons and also the great content on the website. Our child attended the online lessons and revised the content on the website only to qualify for the Olympiad Round! A dream come true for all of us! Many thanks Kevin

Our 12-year old attended Kevin’s JMC classes during the Easter break, and surprised both us and himself by scoring 118 - so a ā€˜gold’ and ā€˜kangaroo’ qualification. More importantly though, he is really happy, and has learned that if he does some proper preparation for an exam he will do better. We look forward to using Mathsaurus in future.

The on line classes helped my daughter to gain extra confidence in tackling the harder JMC questions and gave her an insight into how questions could be approached in different ways. She already have a sound basis in maths but the courses and classes elevated her level and she achieved gold in the JMC !

Hamilton Silver Medal 2025

My son attended the Intermediate Olympiad Course at Mathsaurus and when he went back to school after the Easter holiday this week, he was told he got 34 in the Hamilton Olympiad and a Silver Medal! We are really happy for him! And this is the FIRST medal he has got in the maths competition. A huge inspiration for him! and a huge thanks to you because he thoroughly enjoyed your lessons before the exam.

Hamilton Olympiad Gold Medal 2025 (44/60)

5-Star Review: Incredibly Helpful for UKMT Olympiad Preparation I’ve used several Mathsaurus courses, including the JMC and JMO ones (both free and paid), and most recently the live group course for the Hamilton Olympiad. Across the board, these courses have been an amazing resource — I genuinely don’t think I would’ve earned two UKMT Olympiad golds without them. The Hamilton Olympiad course was especially memorable: three weeks of fast-paced, in-depth problem solving in a small group setting. Kevin Olding guided us through Olympiad-style questions, offered helpful hints when needed, and shared valuable general tips. His passion for maths is clear, and the lessons got progressively harder — which kept things challenging and engaging. We tackled questions at almost double the usual Olympiad pace, so it really pushed me to improve. The self-paced JMC and JMO courses were also useful — well-organized by subtopic and a good way to build up both skills and confidence. One thing I appreciated was learning test-specific strategies I hadn’t considered before, like using process of elimination in UKMT multiple-choice rounds. I would absolutely recommend Mathsaurus courses to anyone preparing for UKMT challenges or Olympiads. It’s the only site I’ve found that offers dedicated UKMT Olympiad training, and it absolutely delivers.

Hamilton Olympiad 2025 Gold Medal

Thank you so much for everything you do! I took the Hamilton Olympiad and got 49/60, and best in south west England. Your sessions looking at the question types and problem solving approaches were so helpful and generally what you’ve done for encouraging math challenge success and participation is amazing. Thank you!

Kevin is an excellent teacher. He produces materials and runs classes at a range of different levels, and he brings alive the connections between foundational maths and advanced maths. I recommend Mathsaurus!

My son has enjoyed preparing for JMC and did mathsaurus courses. He found courses very helpful and interesting. He has recently done IMC regular lessons with Kevin and feels he has learnt something new every week. These lessons are well planned. Thank you Kevin.

My daughter last year did JMO (Junior Math Olympiad) live lesson with Kevin and we still cant believe that she achieved a GOLD, and was "best in the school". Kevin was wonderful in teaching her the ways to write step by step answers to score, without which I feel she would have got a bronze or less. He also taught her how to allocate the timing for Section A and B which was a game changer. Highly highly recommend Mathsaurus.

My son attended the JMC class, he really did enjoy your lessons, your lessons really inspired him on hisĀ interestĀ in maths! really connected with the way you explained the problem solving. He did get a gold certificate, just missed out on the kangaroo, he is going into secondary school year 7 in September so he'll strengthen his algebra skill for the next JMC.

Kevin is one of the distinguished teachers for teaching advanced maths. His carefully crafter teaching programs enable students to build strong competence in advanced maths..I would strongly recommend him for coaching on advanced mathematics of a wide variety of age groups.

My son did Kangaroo classes with Kevin as he was excited to do Kangaroo but also pretty nervous. Kevin combines fantastic maths teaching pitched at just the right level for these sessions with a calm and understated style that puts children at ease. My son thoroughly enjoyed the maths and was both stretched and encouraged by the classes.

We live in the EU but my 13-year old son goes to an international school following the British curriculum (IGCSEs and international A-levels). He is currently in Year 9. We discovered Mathsaurus last year and since then my son has won a Gold Certificate Best in School in the Junior Maths Challenge and a Certificate of Merit in the Junior Maths Olympiad (in Year 8), two Gold Certificates Best in Year in the Intermediate Maths Challenge (last year in Year 8 and this year in Year 9) and has qualified for the semi-finals in the Belgian Mathematical Olympiad (this year). His school is great but does not provide extra support for gifted students and does not teach maths in sets so I credit Kevin and his magic. Thank you so much! I wholeheartedly recommend Mathsaurus to all students who want to go beyond school maths and to develop mathematical thinking.

Kevin is an amazing tutor with a vast array of knowledge in the field of Mathematics and beyond. He has been privately tutoring my son for a short time online as well as in small groups to prep him for the PMC and JMC as well as for my son’s entrance exam. As a direct result of Kevin’s tutoring my son has consistently since 2020 achieved a Gold Certificate in the PMC and JMC as well as 90+% on most of his End of Term Mathematics Exam. In my son’s final year at his Prep School, he managed to win an Academic Scholarship to a leading independent competitive boy’s school, and I couldn’t be more elated with the outcome. I would highly recommend Kevin for anyone who wishes their child to excel in Mathematics.

My girls have learnt so much!

My daughters have both taken the on line live group lessons and the pre recorded JMC course. Both are excellent. Dr Olding has a very engaging and simple way of explaining quite complex problems and methods sometimes in multiple ways, which is a result of him being such an accomplished mathematician and practised teacher. My girls have learnt so much from both his courses and lessons, and really enjoy their time with him.

Hey Kevin Thank you so much for your help during the three week Junior Math Olympiad course. You have helped me so much, and have helped me understand the beauty of math, and understand the importance of the thinking behind a given answer. Kevin is a great teacher, and I think that his method of teaching is great enjoyable and really helps develop the joy behind mathematics. Kevin has helped me score great. I managed to get a distinction award in the JMO this year, as well as a bronze medal. Thank you so much Kevin!!!

Hi Kevin, I went for JMO 2023 as a Year 6 student and got distinction (41 marks). I did the Go For Gold course and took your JMO prep lessons - the three week course. You were great at teaching and the way you taught was magical - I understood everything! Next year, I will try get a bronze or silver medal, or if possible even gold. Thank you Kevin.

My daughter took a batch of 10 classes with Kevin as prep for IMC. I found Kevin extremely knowledgeable and accessible. I liked the fact that he would hear out a solution from a student and point out what it addressed and what it didn't address and another way to approach the problem. My daughter learnt a lot from these classes and I am definitely registering her for more. Thanks SS

JMO Gold Medal
My son attended one of your Junior Olympiad classes just before the JMO 2022. He got a Gold Medal in the JMO. He also got a Silver in the Cayley Olympiad and he was put in for the SMC by the school and qualified for BMO1 later this month which will be a huge jump as he is only 13!
