GeraLearn, rebuilt as an olympiad school
Your child's school enters the competitions. Almost nobody teaches your child how to prepare for them. Olympiad Vault does: levelled courses, graded original problems, auto-marked practice and human-marked proofs, across all seven major UK olympiad tracks.

Courses are in production and founding pricing is shown on the pricing page. Nothing is for sale today; the waitlist reserves a founding place, it is not a purchase.
Every track climbs the same three levels.
The programme
Two tracks are authored by the founder, an International Olympiad in Informatics participant. Five are led by vetted specialist tutors he recruits and quality controls. We say which is which, on every page.
Junior, Intermediate and Senior Mathematical Challenges; Mathematical Olympiad for Girls; BMO1 and BMO2; the IMO pathway.
Usual season: Senior Challenge usually early October; Mathematical Olympiad for Girls in September; BMO1 in November; BMO2 and the Intermediate Challenge in January; Junior Challenge in late April to early May.

The method
Foundation, Challenge or Olympiad level, matched to your child's year group and the competition calendar.
Recorded lessons of 10 to 25 minutes with downloadable problem sheets, designed to fit around school.
Auto-marked problem sets with worked solutions, plus a code judge for Informatics. Proofs and long answers are marked by a human against a published rubric.
Entries are made by your child's school, as always. You get a route map: which competition, which month, and what a good score leads to.
People
Founder
He personally authors the Maths and Informatics tracks — and quality controls the rest.
Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy and Linguistics are authored and taught by vetted specialist tutors: their sample lessons and marking are tested before they teach, every tutor is enhanced DBS checked, and the founder quality controls their work. He does not claim expertise in those subjects. Full detail on the Why GeraLearn page.
Founding pricing, in brief
Single track £299. Two tracks £449. All tracks family bundle £699. Problem Club £29 a month. All founding pricing, all courses in production, 12 months of access from purchase when sales open. See the full pricing page.
Schools enter the competitions and many run a club. What schools rarely have time for is graded training between "good at school maths" and "ready for an olympiad paper", with feedback on written solutions. That gap is the whole product.
No. Almost all of these competitions are entered through schools by a teacher. We prepare your child and give you the calendar and route map so you can ask the school in good time.
Vetted specialist tutors, named on each track page once appointed, with enhanced DBS checks. The founder teaches Maths and Informatics only, and quality controls the rest. We would rather tell you that plainly than invent a polymath.
No. Courses are in production. The waitlist reserves a founding place. A refundable £49 founding deposit will be offered when the validation window opens; this site takes no payment today.
Olympiad participation is genuine evidence of subject passion and depth. We will never promise it secures any place, and you should distrust anyone who does.
