Hello, I am from Azerbaijan and my name is Ismayil. I felt like I learned a lot of tricks and tips in combinatorics which encouraged me to do some imo sl problems I think the way of taking lessons from IMO champion is just different from others because you get lessons by deeply experienced person. We socialized by each other we learned by mistakes in our solutions which is different than getting lesson and explanetion by someone else (the group consists only imo level students which is good for improving) I got selected for summer camp for imo (which is due to my imo score top 20) If you want to stduy individual and got help by experienced olympians it would be great and taking lectures is the best way to study. I wish i take program again :)"
"My name is Arleth, and I’m from El Salvador. Thanks to Shef Scholars, I’ve learned new principles and techniques for tackling Math Olympiad problems. This program stands out from others I’ve taken because of its personalized approach. It has also given me the chance to connect with people who are on the same path of competing in Math Olympiads. Thanks to Shef Scholars, I qualified for the Iberoamerican Math Olympiad and obtained an Honorific mention on APMO 2024. I highly recommend this program to anyone interested in math competitions and looking to be part of a cool community."
Mingdao talks about how the program helped him prepare after failing the Team Selection Test and how helpful the program was in helping him prepare in two weeks.
Besnik talks in depth about the program and why it was helpful to him
"Shef Scholars is a wonderful initiative. I joined in 2022 with just the hope of getting some ideas as to how I should approach math problems. Shef gave a lot of problem sets and also organized meetings to correct these problems in group, which definitely gave useful insights as to how one should tackle a math olympiad problem. Furthermore he organizes some one-on-one meetings in which I had the choice of going over any math question I wanted. The real perk of Shef Scholars is in my opinion just the way Salko explain his mathematics. He's a fantastic teacher and will give you just the right amount of help and insights to solve problems. What I improved the most, other than just overall better problem-solving skills, is endurance, i.e. wanting to solve the problem, rather than solving it as quickly as possible. I definitely recommend this program to any student who aspires to become a better problem-solver."
