Why on GeraLearn
GeraLearn is becoming an olympiad school. Olympiad Vault is the reason.
GeraLearn started as a general online course catalogue. That catalogue never found its subject. This rebuild gives GeraLearn one subject it can teach better than almost anyone: school olympiad competitions.
The programme
What Olympiad Vault is within GeraLearn
Olympiad Vault is GeraLearn's flagship school competition programme, and in this rebuild it is effectively the whole school: seven olympiad tracks, one founder, a small team of vetted specialist tutors, and a single standard — the person teaching a subject must have genuinely competed or taught at that level.
Who leads what
| Track | Led by | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Maths | Armen Mnatsakanyan, founder | IOI 2006 participant; Applied Mathematics degree; published proof-complexity research |
| Informatics | Armen Mnatsakanyan, founder | IOI 2006 participant; professional software and infrastructure career (Google, Bloomberg, and currently data security and privacy infrastructure) |
| Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy, Linguistics | Vetted specialist tutors | Recruited per track; sample lessons and marking vetted before teaching; enhanced DBS checked; quality controlled by the founder |
No employer of the founder sponsors, partners with or endorses GeraLearn or Olympiad Vault, and nothing from his employment is used in these courses. His biography is stated factually because parents are entitled to know who wrote the material.
What we do not claim
- We publish no invented student numbers, enrolment figures, pass rates or ratings. When we have real ones, we will publish those.
- We do not claim the founder is an expert in the five tutor-led subjects.
- We do not guarantee competition results, medals or university places.
- Nothing is on sale until the courses exist. The waitlist is a waitlist.
