Meet Austin Tang! 🌟

We're so proud to spotlight Austin Tang, who has been with RSM for 8 years! 🎉

Austin has shown incredible dedication and skill, competing in the AMC 8, IMC, and Noetic Spring competitions. His hard work and passion for math continue to inspire everyone around him.

When asked for advice for fellow students, Austin shared some great wisdom: "Make it fun, relax, and compete together with friends!" 💙

We love seeing our students grow not just as mathematicians, but as confident, well-rounded young people. Way to go, Austin — keep up the amazing work!

Why is Geometry so important?

👉A multi-year exposure to proof-based geometry gives students a strong logical foundation and the confidence to succeed in higher-level math. Through mathematical proofs, students learn to think critically, reason step by step, and support every conclusion with evidence, skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

At RSM, students begin Geometry as early as 6th grade, giving them years to develop logical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and mathematical maturity. This preparation helps students excel in the SAT, AP courses, college-level mathematics, and competitions like Math Kangaroo, AMC 8, and MathCounts.🥇

📚 Geometry is challenging, rewarding, and fun, and we can't wait to share our passion for it with your child!

💫Behind every confident math student is a teacher who knows how to inspire, challenge, and support them.

Our teachers are at the heart of the RSM community. With backgrounds in mathematics or related fields and passion for the subject, they help students develop deep understanding, build confidence, and discover the joy of learning.📚

🌟Meet Daniil Shangin! 🌟

For 6 years, Daniil has been part of RSM, and his dedication continues to shine. This year, he took on AMC 8, IMC, and Noetic Spring, proving once again that consistency and hard work pay off.

Daniil's secret? A smart, focused approach to studying. He believes in working strategically, not just harder.

🚀His advice to other students:
"Solving past years' exams, pinpointing problems that indicate knowledge gaps, then closing these gaps with extra practice are the keys to success."

This is the kind of mindset we are always proud to celebrate at RSM, students who take responsibility for their own progress and never shy away from a challenge.💫

Congratulations, Daniil, on 6 amazing years with RSM! We're so proud of you and excited to see what's next. 🎉

Summer School Wrap-Up! 🎉

It has been a wonderful summer filled with math, learning, and growth. To celebrate, children wrapped things up with fun crafts, and we couldn't be more grateful to our amazing students and teachers for making it such a great summer!

We will see everyone back in classes this September. And to kick things off right, we invite you all to our Back2School Bash!

Can't wait to see you there!

💫Lucas Wang has been with RSM for 4 years, and this year he has taken on an impressive lineup of competitions, including AMC 8, IMC, RSM Olympiad, Math Kangaroo, MOEMS E, Noetic, and CML.

What sets Lucas apart is his mindset. He approaches every problem with focus and discipline, always striving to get things exactly right.🚀

When asked his advice, Lucas kept it straightforward:

"I emphasize the importance of accuracy and efficiency."

☀️It's a simple philosophy, but a powerful one. For Lucas, success in math isn't just about knowing the answer, it's about getting there the right way, every time.

Congratulations, Lucas! We can't wait to see what you accomplish next!🎉

At RSM, every student's journey is unique, and we are always excited to see where it leads.

Meet Aastha Gupta, an RSM alumna whose passion for learning continued well beyond the classroom. Aastha earned her undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University, followed by both a Master's degree and an MBA from the University of Florida.

Looking back, Aastha credits RSM with giving her a strong mathematical foundation that helped her excel in AP Calculus BC, earning college credit and allowing her to skip a calculus course in college.

One of her favorite memories is learning with Mrs. Bock:

"She was always so friendly and made sure you understood everything every step of the way. She explained concepts in multiple ways, so everything always made sense."

Aastha especially appreciated RSM's small class sizes and supportive learning environment, which helped her develop confidence in mathematics that stayed with her through college.

Her advice for current RSM students is simple but meaningful:
"Grades aren't everything! They're important, but it's okay to fall. As long as you pick yourself back up again."

Thank you, Aastha, for sharing your story with the RSM community. We are proud of all you have accomplished and wish you continued success in the future.

Summer is the perfect time to pause and ask: Does my child have enough time to daydream, explore, and simply play?

In a world of packed schedules and endless activities, children still need time to be kids, to imagine, create, socialize, and grow through both structured experiences and free play.
