Partnership in practice
Weekly Olympiad seminars for Westminster Under School
For the past two years, Exact Science has run weekly Olympiad mathematics seminars at Westminster Under School — specialised lessons for students already working at Olympiad level, with depth-first content rather than exam shortcuts.

What we cover
A sample of seminar themes — each built through structured problem sequences rather than one-off tricks.
- Proof by Mathematical InductionBuilding rigorous arguments step by step, from base cases to general statements.
- Classical Algebraic IdentitiesManipulating structure and symmetry in expressions that appear throughout Olympiad algebra.
- The Nine-Point CircleExploring triangle centres and classical Euclidean geometry through proof-oriented problems.
Problem sets from these seminars will be published on Problems.cc — links coming soon.
How it works
- Dedicated weekly seminar slots for students selected for Olympiad-level work, delivered on site within the school timetable.
- Seminars follow our depth-first methodology: structured problem sequences, written reasoning, and discussion — not lecture-style coverage.
- Content is aligned with the school's calendar and cohort, with topics chosen to stretch genuine problem-solvers rather than rehearse routine techniques.
- Seminar problem sets are being prepared for publication on Problems.cc so schools and families can see the level of work over time.
