Mr. Chen

Founder & High School Math Educator

Welcome to Chen Math Academy. I have over 20 years of experience teaching high school math, including Algebra 1 through AP Calculus BC. I have also served as a summer accelerated math teacher and a mentor for new high school math teachers.

I have coached math competition teams, with my students earning strong results in national competitions. Throughout my teaching career, I have always focused on helping students build a solid foundation and truly understand mathematical concepts.

Many of my students have gone on to attend top universities such as Harvard, Caltech, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and UCLA. Through this website, I hope to help more students learn math with confidence and discover how mathematical thinking applies to school, careers, and everyday life.

I’m glad you’re here!

Whether you’re strengthening your foundations, tackling a challenging class, or preparing for your next academic adventure, we’ll take math one step at a time. Explore the lessons, practice at your own pace, and remember: questions and mistakes are part of learning.

Students and families from around the world are welcome. Wherever you’re starting, I’m here to help you build understanding and confidence.

Celebrating our students

We’re also proud to celebrate students who have earned admission to Carnegie Mellon University, the University of Chicago, New York University, and many other top colleges. Their hard work and perseverance deserve recognition—and we’re equally proud of every student who gains confidence, overcomes a challenge, or reaches a personal goal.

Start with a path, not a catalog

Every path starts with a free diagnostic, then takes you through lessons, practice, and a timed check — in order. Tick steps off as you go; your progress is saved in your own browser, no account needed.

AMC 10 Path

Contest strategies, the 14 AMC 10 problems, and timed practice.

Start the AMC 10 path →

AP Calculus BC Path

Course lessons, guided practice, and a full timed AB/BC mock.

Why learn with a teacher, not just a platform?

Platforms are excellent for drilling. They cannot watch you solve a problem, catch the exact step where your thinking went wrong, or change the plan when you stall. Lessons add live feedback, homework review, a plan built around your diagnostic, and contest strategy coaching. See the comparison →
