Apply as a tutor

Applications for MBL Balkans 2025 are now open! 

The 2025 edition of the camp will take place on 01-10.04.2025. in Garden City Resort, Konjic, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Maths Beyond Limits is an international camp for high school students, who enjoy solving math problems together. We welcome people from a wide range of backgrounds and different countries from all over the world to join us for 10 days in the Balkans.

If you want to come to MBL, but you are no longer eligible to be a participant, don’t worry – you can apply as a tutor! Becoming a tutor means conducting at least one course during the camp, which consists of 3 classes, each 90 minutes long.  In the afternoons students have some special time intended for asking lecturers questions regarding classes, called time academic unscheduled or TAU for short. 

To get some feeling about the average difficulty of courses we strongly recommend to whip through our camp brochures. Remember that campers are high-school students and although many of them have broad olympic background, most of them are not fluent in calculus, linear algebra, group theory, etc. Therefore, if you plan to extensively use some methods/concepts from these areas, remember about reserving some time to introduce them.

Apart from lecturing, you are welcome to join the participants in Evening Activities and Special Events as well as to attend other lectures — in short, do what all the other people will be doing. We may occasionally ask you for help with some special mathematical events, but that will not be too much of a burden. We are not able to offer you money for your work, but your stay, as well as meals, are covered by us and we will refund, at least partially, your travel expenses.

Applications will close on 20
th January 2025 at 23:59(CET)!

  2. Course proposals (you are welcome to send more than one, as it gives us a broader choice and makes things easier to arrange).
  3. The number of courses you want to run.
  4. Preferred dates of stay.
