Testimonials and stories
How students describe learning with us
Student story
Julka Nowakowska
„The Mathematics Workshops give you loads of knowledge that is useful for the Olympiad, but also have a great atmosphere and let you meet wonderful people. I would recommend them to anyone who wants to spend time studying for the Olympiad with engaged, ambitious people :))”
- Learning with Kuźnia
- Several editions of the Mathematics Workshops
Student story
Juliusz Klim
„My experience of the Mathematics Workshops was very positive. A big advantage was the choice of teaching groups, which made it possible to find the right level for your ability. The classes were well balanced: even prizewinners could find interesting, challenging problems. The centre was comfortable, the food was really tasty and the whole event had a very good atmosphere. The paired lessons were of a high standard and helped me prepare for the Polish Mathematical Olympiad and reach the final in my very first year of high school.”
- Learning with Kuźnia
- Several editions of the Mathematics Workshops and a year of regular two-person lessons with Jakub Piotrowicz
- Student achievements
- finalist in the LXXVI Polish Mathematical Olympiad in the first year of high school · first-prize recipient in the XIX Polish Junior Mathematical Olympiad
Student story
Filip Klim
„I would definitely recommend the Mathematics Workshops. The contests were well prepared and carefully marked, often with comments showing what could be improved. The lectures were engaging and academically strong. The programme also included activities such as a mathematical match. There were lots of classes, but also time for sport, creating a good balance between intensive study and relaxation. The paired lessons were a huge help in reaching the Polish Mathematical Olympiad final. The material was chosen to fit what I needed to work on at the time, and homework was carefully checked and discussed.”

Student story
Mateusz Klimek
Current role: instructor at Kuźnia Olimpijska
„I am very happy with the lessons. Thanks to the individual approach, I progressed from scratch to a level where I had a real chance in the second round of the OM. The instructor was always open to my questions and provided lots of valuable materials, which made learning smooth and effective. At the Workshops, I met many people I am still in touch with today and greatly expanded my mathematical knowledge.”
- Learning with Kuźnia
- A year and a half of regular individual lessons with Jakub Piotrowicz and participation in the Mathematics Workshops
„The Workshops took place at a nice centre near the mountains, where we could play volleyball and basketball, as well as pool and table football. I met lots of people from the Olympiad community, which in itself helps you develop mathematically through sharing knowledge. The atmosphere was friendly. Alongside typical Olympiad problems, there were team-building activities, Náboj and a mathematical match, which gave me experience of working together. The food was good, and there was a special guest too. My overall impression of the Workshops is very positive.”
How we teach
Ideas matter more than set procedures
Good teaching goes beyond showing a solution. Students should understand where it comes from and be able to use the method independently.
- 1We identify the goal
We find out what the student needs and how much preparation time they have.
- 2We build problem-solving skills
We combine theory, students' own attempts and careful discussion of their ideas.
- 3We encourage independence
We revisit difficulties and help students reason with growing confidence.
The Kuźnia team
Instructors who know the journey
We bring together our own Olympiad and academic experience and years of working with students.
