Dec 20 – Jan 4 Online • Small Groups • Flexible Schedules
Whether your child is craving a challenge or quietly falling behind, CrunchTutor’s Winter Bootcamps give them a safe, encouraging space to make real progress in just 10 days.
For kids who love a challenge
Olympiads, USACO, AMC, AP classes, AI/ML & coding projects that stretch strong learners.
For kids who need a reset
Gentle catch-up in math, science, writing & test prep with patient tutors who don’t judge.
Near-peer mentors: recent grads and top college tutors who “speak teen” and know what school feels like right now.
Flexible formats: 10-day intensive, or shorter 3, 5, and 7-day options that work around travel and family time.
Tell us a bit about your child. We’ll match you with the right near-peer tutor and share a few schedule options within one business day. No payment required to inquire.
Many families have both: a child who loves hard problems and a child who feels behind. Winter Bootcamps give each of them a win they can feel.
Give them a space where loving math, coding, and big ideas is normal.
We meet them where they are — no shaming, no eye rolls, no “you should already know this.”
CrunchTutor was built on a simple idea: when teens learn from recent graduates and top college students, everything feels lighter. The jokes land. The advice feels real. And teens are more willing to say, “I need help here.”

“My son was so discouraged in Algebra II that he stopped asking for help. His CrunchTutor coach is only a few years older than him, and they clicked right away. He actually looked forward to the winter bootcamp sessions.”
— Parent of 10th grader, San Jose
“Our daughter loves challenging math, and it’s hard to find peers who feel the same. The AMC/USACO bootcamp gave her both harder problems and a community of kids who get it.”
— Parent of 8th grader, Fremont
“What I appreciated most was the emotional support. Their tutor kept reminding my child that struggling doesn’t mean she’s not smart — it just means we haven’t found her way of learning yet.”
— Parent of 9th grader, Austin
