1. How our courses are different.
We believe that mathematics is a language that anyone can learn, step by step. Each student has unique learning needs, which we work together to provide a personalized and supportive learning environment; we provide the tools and resources you need to succeed.
Our program, compiled by leading specialists, according to new teaching methods, is based on the principle “it up on me”, emphasizing the importance of student motivation. We search not only ‘how’, but also ‘why’ knowledge is needed and how to use it effectively. We focus not only on providing excellent preparation for the Ministry of Education and Science program, but also on a fundamental foundation in the way of thinking that will help their future academic and professional success.
We make learning challenging concepts fun and turn concentration into a rewarding experience. We work with, not on the students, but we value discipline and hard work.
You can combine the course with Mot_Math in English for enhanced math preparation.
For additional, combined training in Bulgarian language and literature and English language, see our courses.
2. How the course works, details of the students’ preparation.
Our training is designed to provide comprehensive preparation for the exam after 7th grade. We offer small group instruction, with classes of up to five students at a similar level to ensure that each student receives individual attention and support. Teamwork is also important, students work and progress together, share problems and solutions. We focus not on memorization, but on finding solutions, independence, confidence and creative application. We measure progress and know where we are on the road to success.
Our highly qualified teachers have extensive experience in preparing students and are dedicated to providing personalized and engaging learning. We provide individual homework and regular consultations with mentor teachers to address individual student needs and questions.
Enrollment in groups takes place after a sample test and an interview to select the most suitable teacher with whom the student can develop his potential.
Our classes are twice for 2 study hours, in the morning or in the afternoon. Additionally, we can organize an individual consultation with the students.
The students work on the current study materials according to the requirements of the Ministry of Education and Culture, aids and author’s works that meet the exam.
At the end of the first term, we take the first test, with which we introduce the students to the way of conducting the matriculation.
At the end of each month, we prepare an assessment of the material taken so far and the extent of its assimilation.
Every month during the second term, we go through exams developed especially for the group level and make detailed analyzes of the results. This allows students to learn their strengths and weaknesses and work on areas that need improvement. We work directly with parents on attendance and discipline.
In May and June, we also provide free workspace for students to continue their independent preparation in a synergistic environment.
During the holidays, we organize additional meetings, sample tests and seminars for the preparation of separate, important topics.
3. What is the National External Assessment in Mathematics exam.
Matura after 7th grade is the first and most important exam that Bulgarian students take on their educational path forward. This exam determines which high school they will attend and ultimately what career path they will choose. The pressure to perform well in this exam is immense, especially for young people who are already going through a difficult and dynamic period in their lives.
The demands are ever greater and no one can cope without additional help. At this critical time, it is essential that students have access to high-quality preparatory courses that can provide them with the knowledge, skills and mindset they need to succeed.
Matura after 7th grade is a standardized test that assesses students’ knowledge of mathematics, Bulgarian language and literature, and a foreign language of all students in Bulgaria.
The math exam is in two parts. In the first part, in 1 hour and 15 minutes, students answer 20 questions with a choice of 4 answers (for a total of 65 points). Here it is necessary to work for time, for an optimal solution, quick but accurate calculations and accurate knowledge of the material of the 6th and 7th grades and the methods of solving it.
In the second part, for 1 hour and 30 minutes, students answer three in-depth questions with several sub-conditions (for a total of 35 points). Here it is necessary to work concentratedly and use the detailed knowledge of the late study material of the 7th grade.
To help during the exam, students will be able to read the following formulas.
The specificity of the exam, the ‘quick’ and ‘deep’ parts often cause students with little preparation to make unnecessary mistakes and lose their grade. You must score at least 16 points out of a possible 100 to pass the exam. The exam has been criticized for determining which high school a student will attend, with the required score for the most desirable high schools exceeding 95/100 in recent years. We succeed together.
