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. These are 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.
