Experience Summary

I have been tutoring advanced and financial mathematics, and Actuarial exams for the past 16 years and I am an FSA (Fellow of the Society of Actuaries). I hold the CERA designation (Chartered Enterprise Risk Analyst) and the MAAA (Member of the American Academy of Actuaries). I have tutored 100s of candidates one-on-one and in groups (2-18 people) over the years in various areas of math and mostly actuarial science across all difficulty levels and students of all ages. From 4.0 math majors in top ivy schools to career changers with no math background. I have tutored the Actuarial Exams (Probability P, Financial Mathematics FM, IFM/MFE, ALTAM/MLC, ASTAM/C, and FAM) hundreds of times and my specialty is helping people maximize their time and making their study time as efficient as possible to pass. Virtually all people I work with pass the actuarial exams on the next attempt and in the process save themselves dozens and hundreds of painful study hours because I provide you with everything possible that you need to pass on first/next attempt. I break down every single piece of the syllabus in such a way that every topic becomes crystal clear with full fundamental deep understanding of how everything works, where it came from, why it's true, how to use and apply all these concepts on exam questions quickly using endless number of shortcuts and multiple approaches to almost every problem. We can always have just a phone call first in which I will provide you tons of free advice and recommendations on how to pass and then you can decide for yourself how you wish to proceed. You can join the sessions remotely from home, online from anywhere in the world, or you can come live in person, as well as purchase online RECORDINGS of individual sessions, or full bundle packages for exams P, FM, FAM, ALTAM, ASTAM, and actuarial job interview prep. The first session for all my actuarial classes is FREE for everyone.

Teaching Style

Prepare candidates for Actuarial Exams P, FM, IFM/MFE, FAM, ALTAM/MLC, ASTAM/C and Interviews. First session is completely FREE. I have helped 100s of actuarial candidates pass the exams on 1st/next attempt while having to study only a fraction of the time that they would otherwise need to put in on their own. I teach you the material inside out, with intuitive logic deep understanding, 100s of shortcuts, no formula memorization, and mastery of the concepts. I recommend which study manuals to use, how to best prepare for the exam, and help the student prepare from the beginning to the end teaching you concepts that are not explained in the study manuals. I have lots of free materials to give you. But most importantly, I teach you how to THINK of the solution yourself. Anyone can pick up a study guide or a book and go through it on their own and look at the solutions at the back and nod their head. But the study guide doesn't talk back to you and doesn't tell you what you're doing wrong or how to improve yourself. If you want to be sure to easily pass on your first attempt with no worries and concerns, I will teach you how to approach problems, techniques, timing and approaches that cannot be found in any one single study guide but rather a compilation of 15+ years of expertise.

Other Comments

I prep students for all the preliminary Actuarial exams. I also help prep my students for Interviews, general Finance, and Math team preparation. I work with students preparing for any of the standardized exams such as: SAT, GRE, GMAT, ACT, SHSAT, SAT II, Regents, CLEP test, Citywide exams and AP exams I enjoy working one on one or in small groups with ALL AGES and AT ALL LEVELS.
