§ PROGRAMS · Junior-High Math
Grades 7–9
Math isn’t about speed —
it’s thinking it through and breaking it down
Students learn to break a problem into steps they understand and to see why an equation is set up the way it is. With the concepts secure, the twists in midterm and CAP questions stop being a surprise.
- Grades 7–9
- NT$750 / class (NT$800 from December)
- Classes move up together · same group, same time slot
- Free extra sessions before midterms
- Aim: TNFSH science class · math & science gifted classes

Course featuresFeatures
What makes this course different
Five design choices that help students think clearly — and score
- 01
Paced to school exams
Lessons follow the junior-high math curriculum and each school’s midterm rhythm, so key concepts are in place before school tests
- 02
Competency-based and CAP-style questions
Beyond calculation, students learn to read context-based problems and take apart CAP-style variations — getting the answer and knowing why
- 03
Small classes, every student seen
The teacher can see exactly where each student is stuck and fix it on the spot, before problems pile up
- 04
Free extra sessions before midterms
Free review sessions before midterms focus on the exam material and fill gaps, at no extra charge
- 05
Groundwork for the next step
Calculation and reasoning become habits that lay the groundwork for the TNFSH science class, senior-high math and science gifted classes, and the coursework that follows

FAQFAQ
What parents ask most
Anything else, just ask STARK Lab on LINE
- QCan my child join mid-way? How do you handle catching up?
- A new Grade 7 math class opens every July for students entering junior high; starting in Grade 7 gives the most continuity. Grade 8 and Grade 9 classes are existing groups moving up. To join one, message us on LINE with your child’s current progress; we check openings and fit before arranging a place. These classes do not take direct online enrollment.
- QDoes the course follow school midterms, even though schools move at different paces?
- Yes. The course follows the junior-high math curriculum and the usual midterm rhythm, building key concepts before school tests. Where schools differ slightly, the teacher adjusts to the students in the class, and free extra sessions before midterms focus on the exam material.
- QHow is tuition calculated? Is there a trial class?
- Junior-high math is NT$750 per class, billed monthly, and pre-midterm sessions are free (rising to NT$800 per class from the December 2026 tuition). A trial is available for one single-class fee: your child joins a regular lesson with the class, and enrollment can wait until they have tried it.
- QHow does this class relate to the TNFSH science class and senior-high math and science gifted classes?
- Junior-high math is the foundation for what comes next. Admission screening for the TNFSH (Tainan First Senior High School) science class and for math and science gifted classes at senior high schools emphasizes mathematical reasoning and competency-based questions. The regular class turns calculation and reasoning into habits, so preparing for senior-high math and science gifted classes and science classes is far less of a scramble.
- QHow is this different from the elementary Gifted Math class?
- Gifted Math is a dedicated class for new Grade 4 students, aimed at the math and science gifted-class screening in Grade 6. Junior-High Math is an ongoing class for Grades 7–9 that follows school exam pacing. The two serve different students with different goals, and students who finish elementary Gifted Math can move straight into Junior-High Math.
§ What parents say
Real feedback
Not us praising ourselves — it’s the parents
Taken from public comments on the official STARK Lab Facebook page and LINE messages from parents, translated from the original Chinese (excerpts marked with …). Names are withheld.
She asked to join your class herself because she was interested … These past few days after the exams, even before knowing her results, she has suddenly become a bit more motivated and has ideas of her own. That is a pretty good outcome! Thank you, teacher.
Last summer she took the science-fair training course, and along the way she came to feel deeply that “the most fundamental skill in science is math,” because every experiment needs precise, data-based analysis. So she has been practising math especially hard … Thank you, teacher, for the inspiration.
Try one class first
Junior-high math offers a trial for one single-class fee: your child joins a regular lesson with the class.
Enrollment can wait until they have tried it. Message us on LINE with your child’s grade and current progress, and we’ll check openings and arrange a date.
