[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Update, I am the OP

So I had a demo with the Olympiad insider tutoring, it was a high schooler who qualified for the Olympiad round of amc 10. I was told the rate was $75/hr for new clients which I felt was reasonable, so I signed my son up for once a week. The high schooler seemed to know which topics were tested the most and even had some sort of a curriculum. I was impressed.

$75/hr is still pretty expensive though… any thoughts? Should I increase the number of sessions? Right now it’s only one hour per week.[/quote]

Why the obsession with making AIME?  It sounds like your kid is pretty new to competition math and has a ton of curricular gaps (geometry, number theory, counting&probability).  Jumping to private tutoring rather than trying to fill some of those gaps or take much cheaper competition math classes sounds extreme to me.

Even if you go with the tutoring, I hope you understand that your kid will need to put in at least an hour of work every day to have any real shot at making AIME.[/quote]
