About TIMO?
Thailand International Mathematical Olympiad (TIMO) is an annual Mathematical Olympiad competition organised by the Thailand Mathematics Society. As the majority of Mathematical Olympiad competitions are only focusing on 0.1% of the elite students, TIMO provides an opportunity for ALL students with strong interests in Mathematics to participate in Mathematical Olympiad competition.
What makes TIMO special is that after the competition, TIMO will release the general statistics of students’ performance which shows the strength and weaknesses of the candidates on the following topics such as Logical Thinking, Arithmetic / Algebra, Number Theory, Geometry and Combinatorics. Students can then apply the analytics on their individual learning strategy.
TIMO Heats is conducted at country level to identify Mathematical talent who can then participate in TIMO Finals in Thailand subject to qualifying.
Welcome to Thailand International Mathematical Olympiad Finals.
TIMO integrates both competition and tour.
Our coaches, administrators, and staff stand out for their commitment to academic excellence, entrepreneurial spirit, diversity, vibrancy, and creative innovation.
Our team offers from not only a competitive competition within contestants all over the world, but also its 5-star tour service from Friday trip. And the cities where we teach and do research are not just backdrops – they are also our classrooms, stages and laboratories.
With a world-class faculty that sets a global standard for academic excellence, the largest number of international students among Asia, and the largest number of students studying abroad, TIMO is among the most respected and desirable competitions in the world.
Different from other Mathematical Olympiad competition, every candidate will have his / her own evaluation report that will show the strength and the weakness of the candidate on the following topics such as Logical Thinking, Algebra, Number Theory, Geometry and Combinatorics. They can develop their own learning strategy in the future.
We welcome you to participate in the endless opportunities in TIMO, joining Mathematics talented children who have been drawn from all over the world to be taught, performed, created, and studied in a place where everyone belongs.

President Prize
Founded in 2014 by President Mr Andy Lam, President Prize has a mission to create a better world through education. The objective for running President Prize is to help elite students whose family financial in need to join International Mathematical Olympiad Competitions such as TIMO & HKIMO.
To ensure transparency and sustainability, President prize is managed by Olympiad Champion Education Foundation and governed by an independent team of professional & voluntary lawyers & accountants with an endowment of HK$8 million (US$1 million) with an annual return of 5%. Through a series of initiatives, the prize serves to establish a platform that allows the global community to engage in conversation around education and to play a role in education philanthropy.
To introduce International Mathematical Olympiad to Kindergarten, Primary & Secondary students all over the world, WIMO provides an International Mathematical Olympiad platform to all HKIMO & TIMO Final Round GOLD winners. After the competition, WIMO offers ALL participants to learn from IMO Trainers at the end of the year.

About OCEC
Thailand International Mathematical Olympiad, TIMO is organized by Olympiad Champion Education Centre from Hong Kong. Mr Andy Lam, founder of TIMO, who was a former IMO winner, got 2 A grades in HKCEE and 2 A grades in HKALE. He had 16-year Mathematical
Olympiad teaching experience. To stimulate and foster young people’s interest in learning mathematics, to strengthen the ability of their creative thinking, to widen their international perspective, and to promote the development of kindergarten, primary and secondary education and exchange of educational cultures throughout countries, now he integrated a Hong Kong former IMO winner team to organize TIMO. This year, TIMO committee members invited 14 regions / countries such as Hong Kong, China, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Ukraine, Philippines, Kyrgyzstan, Iran, Taiwan, Vietnam, Myanmar, India and Cambodia to participate.
