We have a large pool of people who have extensive math contest backgrounds and are willing to teach at our program. The list of instructors and assistants for this Camp will be finalized in July, depending on the enrollment.

For the last four years Orlando Leung and his wife Betty have run Valley Math Circle (VMC) in the San Fernando Valley. VMC's main objective is to increase students' interest in math by way of extra-curricular math activities. Their son, Tedrick Leung, was a member of the 2007 USA IMO Team, winning a bronze medal in the 2007 IMO held in Vietnam. Tedrick is now a freshman at MIT. Ever since the Leungs' involvement with VMC and with multiple magnet/GATE programs, many high achieving students and their parents have keenly sought their advice on education.

Both Orlando and Betty hold a MBA degree from USC, where they met.

Mr. Leung will give a speech at the opening ceremony of Math Zoom Summer Camp on Sunday July 13, 2008 in the evening.

We are in the process to invite and confirm with the faculty for MathZoom Summer Camp 2008. Please check back for updated information.
