The right fit
We match the level, format and instructor to the student's current needs.
About us
A place to learn and grow
We created Kuźnia for students who want to study regularly, understand their schoolwork, ask challenging questions and develop their interests in mathematics, physics or computer science.
Why we do this
We start with what the student needs
Students may come to us with a specific need: preparing for a competition or Olympiad, catching up or getting ready for their next lesson or test. Each is a good starting point.
We want students to understand how to reach an answer, as well as the answer itself. We strengthen foundations, introduce methods and leave room for independent attempts. This makes progress last beyond a single test.
Our principles
What matters to us
Independence
The instructor helps students find their way while leaving them the most valuable part of the work.
Community
Groups and events connect people who motivate one another and share ideas.
Open resources
We publish problems, practice contests and solutions from many of our initiatives for free in the Kompendium.
Founders

Together, they develop Kuźnia, organise events, build the teaching team and shape its educational programmes.

Our partners help us develop specific initiatives
Jane Street is Kuźnia's ongoing sponsor. Partners of selected mini PreOM and PreOM editions have included Stanisław Staszic High School No. 14 in Warsaw, the University of Warsaw's Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics (MIM UW), and its Faculty of Physics (FUW).
Many of our instructors graduated from Staszic's experimental mathematics classes, known as “matex”. This gives us a good understanding of the school's curriculum, pace and individual teachers' approaches.
