Company: SupremeQ Education Group

About SupremeQ Education Group

SupremeQ Education Group is a boutique STEM and academic collective specializing in international mathematics competitions (AMC 8/10/12, AIME, and Waterloo series) and advanced STEM curricula. We believe in structured, logic-driven instruction and provide our educators with pre-designed course frameworks and structured lecture materials so you can focus 100% on high-impact teaching and student diagnosis.

What You Will Do

  • Deliver high-quality, interactive 1-on-1 or small-group online sessions focused on competitive math problem-solving.
  • Deconstruct challenging contest problems into intuitive logic models, guiding students through foundational concepts rather than rote formulas.
  • Work with pre-built course outlines and materials, adapting lesson pacing to the individual student’s diagnostics.
  • Maintain clear, consistent post-class deliverables (lesson notes, assignments, and brief student feedback) in designated student groups within 24 hours of each session.

Who You Are

  • Contest Background (Required): Proven personal experience or podium track record in prestigious mathematics competitions (e.g., AMC 10/12, AIME, Waterloo Cayley/Fermat/Euclid, or national Olympiads).

  • Academic Pedigree: Degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related quantitative field (current university students or recent graduates from top-tier institutions welcome).
  • Language Skills: Fluent English proficiency is required; fluency in Mandarin or Cantonese is considered a strong asset for bilingual student communication.
  • Instructional Style: Highly interactive, diagnostic, and patient—able to guide students through dialogue and shared digital whiteboards without shifting into passive lecture mode.

  • Dedicated TA Support: Our teaching assistants handle homework reminders and routine grading to streamline your post-class workload.
