Short, low-stakes national papers that reward curiosity rather than cramming. These are the eight competition families the tutors support: what each one is, who it is for, and what we have for it.
Entry is through school
A parent never books directly. Schools enter pupils, and every organiser publishes its own entry window. If you are not sure which competitions your child's school enters, ask the school; most already enter the UKMT challenges.

What we have for it
A toolkit deck in the Atlas: the strategies and facts that come up again and again.
A deck for each paper, 12 of them from 2015 to 2026, with one card per question: the reusable fact or technique that question leaned on, restated in the tutors' own words.
Full papers against the clock in the Maths Challenge room, for a signed-in child with a Maths seat.

This page gives the season, not the date. The blog guides carry the current season's dates for each competition, and the organiser's own site is always the final word.
PRACTICE
Where to practise
Some of this is open to anyone. Some of it needs your child to be signed in. Here is which is which.
Free, no account
The Atlas decks
Every competition deck is public. Anyone can open one and play it through without signing in. Nothing is saved, so the cards do not come back for review.
Signed in, a child can add a deck to their sky, and its cards join their daily spaced review a few at a time. The Maths Challenge room also needs a sign-in, and a Maths seat: full JMC and IMC papers against the clock, a shorter sprint, and a clinic for the questions that went wrong. The other six competitions have decks, not a paper room.
Every deck card carries a "Study with…" door into the right professor's room. There the tutor walks a stuck child up through nudges and a worked similar problem, never the answer to the one in front of them. You can try a tutor in the free demo first.
