Satvik
AP Statistics Tutor • +68 Subjects
I am an incoming college sophomoore studying Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was one of the top scholars at Carmel High School in Indiana and have various experiences teaching and tutoring through leading the Carmel High School Science Olympiad team to Nationals for two years in a row. Many of my friends consistently come to me for help with various subjects because of my willingness to help and teach in a way that makes sense to everyone. My specialities are physics, chemistry, math, and economics but I am comfortable tutoring any STEM subject, the SAT, and the ACT. Some of my accomplishments include a perfect 36 ACT score, 800 on the Physics, Math Level 2, and Chemistry SAT subject tests, and a 5 on all the physics, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Macroeconomics, Computer Science, etc. AP exams. When teaching, I focus on making sure that not only do students understand different concepts, but also that students understand why and practical applications of the different concepts. As a recent high school graduate, I have a deep understanding of how high-schoolers think, what is covered in various courses now, and can connect with my students a lot more. Additionally, as an undergraduate teaching assistant at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, I taught weekly recitation sections of 30 students and held weekly office hours. Therefore, I have lots of experience teaching and working with students.

I am a Yale graduate with over 8 years experience tutoring students from a variety of backgrounds. I recently graduated from the Yale School of Public Health with a MPH concentrating in Epidemiology and Global Health. I also received my B.S. from Yale with a double major in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology and French. I have experience both leading group classes and working with students one on one. I will respond to a student's strengths, weaknesses, and learning style in order to help them succeed and make the most of our time together. I earned a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, 2280 on the SAT, and qualified as a National Merit Scholar on the PSAT. I look forward to working with you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Students preparing for Exam P most commonly struggle with conditional probability and Bayes' theorem, particularly when applying these concepts to multi-stage problems. Transformations of random variables—especially involving Jacobians and handling multiple transformations—also trips up many candidates. Additionally, moment-generating functions and their applications to identify distributions can feel abstract without strong intuition, and the transition from discrete to continuous probability distributions often reveals gaps in foundational understanding. A tutor can identify which of these areas is holding you back and build targeted practice around your specific weak points.
Exam P has 30 questions in 3 hours, giving you roughly 6 minutes per question—but this assumes even difficulty, which isn't the case. Effective pacing means identifying which question types you can solve quickly (often univariate distributions and basic probability) and tackling those first to build confidence and secure points. Reserve more time for multivariate problems, order statistics, and complex transformations. A strong study approach includes timed practice tests that simulate exam conditions, so you can calibrate your speed and learn to skip strategically rather than getting stuck on one difficult problem.
Exam P tests both deep conceptual understanding and computational fluency, and these require different teaching strategies. A tutor helps you build conceptual foundations by explaining *why* certain probability techniques apply to specific problem structures—for example, recognizing when to use convolution versus transformation methods. On the computational side, tutors guide you through the algebraic mechanics of working with moment-generating functions, calculating probabilities from cumulative distribution functions, and manipulating complex integrals. The best approach combines both: understanding the underlying probability principle first, then practicing the calculation until it becomes automatic under time pressure.
Most successful Exam P candidates complete 5–8 full-length practice exams under timed conditions in the final 4–6 weeks of preparation. Early in your study, practice tests help identify weak topics and question types; later, they build speed and test-day familiarity. The key is not just taking practice exams, but reviewing every single problem—especially ones you got wrong or guessed on—to understand the underlying principle and refine your approach. A tutor can help you extract maximum learning from each practice test by analyzing patterns in your mistakes and adjusting your study plan accordingly.
Multivariate probability is central to Exam P and requires you to work fluently with joint, marginal, and conditional distributions across both discrete and continuous settings. The challenge is that these concepts build on each other: you need solid understanding of marginal distributions before tackling conditional ones, and you need both before working with transformations of multiple variables. Effective study means starting with simple two-variable cases (like a discrete joint distribution on a small table), then gradually increasing complexity to continuous joint densities and transformations. A tutor can scaffold this progression, ensuring you develop intuition at each step rather than memorizing formulas.
Test anxiety for Exam P often stems from encountering unfamiliar problem setups under time pressure—even when you understand the underlying concepts. Building confidence requires repeated exposure to diverse problem types and formats through consistent practice. Timed practice tests are especially valuable because they let you experience the exam environment safely and prove to yourself that you can solve problems under pressure. A tutor can also help you develop a personal problem-solving routine—a consistent approach to reading questions, identifying the probability concept at play, and organizing your work—which reduces anxiety by making the exam feel less chaotic and more predictable.
Most candidates benefit from 3–4 months of consistent study to develop mastery of Exam P's breadth of topics. A typical structure involves 6–8 weeks of foundational learning (covering probability basics, distributions, and transformations), followed by 4–6 weeks of integrated practice where you work through mixed problem sets and full-length exams. In the final 2–3 weeks, focus shifts to review, timed practice, and addressing remaining weak spots. Your specific timeline depends on your background—students with strong calculus and probability foundations may need less time, while those building from scratch may benefit from 4–5 months. A tutor can create a personalized study plan that matches your pace and identifies which topics deserve more time.
A strong Exam P tutor should have passed the exam themselves and ideally hold an actuarial credential (ASA or FSA), which demonstrates both content mastery and professional actuarial knowledge. Beyond credentials, look for tutors with teaching experience who can explain probability concepts clearly and adapt explanations to your learning style. They should be familiar with the official Exam P syllabus, current exam format and question styles, and common student misconceptions. Additionally, tutors who have coached multiple students through Exam P understand which topics typically cause problems and which study strategies actually work under exam conditions—knowledge that goes beyond just knowing the material.
