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.

Philip
Middle School Math Tutor • +16 Subjects
I am a Mechanical Engineering student at the University of Illinois. All throughout High School I found that the best way to learn was from my peers. It was always hard to get relatable help from my teachers, so I relied on helping and getting help from my fellow students. I have a lot of experience tutoring low and high level math courses, and I believe my youth and experience helps me relate to students and help them the ways I remember needing help in. My philosophy with tutoring is to focus on the fundamental ideas and concepts, using intuitive situations that build on each other to help understand complex ideas. Hobbies: books, writing, reading, music, art
Jai

I'm a recent Stanford graduate (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), and have been working at a major Management Consulting firm for a few years now. I personally scored a 2360 (out of 2400) on the SAT and 35 on the ACT and was successful in gaining admission to several top universities. I'm looking forward to helping you improve your scores towards improving your chances at getting in to your dream school.

Frequently Asked Questions
Exam PA is unique because it's entirely project-based rather than multiple choice. You'll complete two real-world predictive analytics projects using R or Python, where you must build models, interpret results, and communicate findings to a non-technical audience. This shift from traditional exams means success requires not just statistical knowledge, but also coding proficiency, model validation skills, and the ability to explain complex analyses clearly—skills that many actuarial candidates haven't developed in earlier exams.
Most candidates struggle with three key areas: translating business problems into predictive models, debugging code efficiently under time pressure, and writing clear executive summaries that non-technical stakeholders can understand. Many students excel at the statistics but freeze when they need to decide which modeling approach to use, validate their results, or articulate why their model matters. Time management is also critical—you have limited hours to complete two substantial projects, so pacing and prioritization separate high scorers from those who run out of time.
Coding is essential—you cannot pass without it. You'll need solid proficiency in R or Python to load data, manipulate variables, build models, and generate visualizations within the exam window. However, you don't need to be a software engineer; you need to write clean, functional code quickly and know how to troubleshoot common errors. A tutor can help you develop efficient coding workflows, practice debugging under pressure, and learn the specific packages and functions that make PA projects faster to complete.
A strong Exam PA tutor guides you through the decision-making process: understanding what business question you're answering, which models are appropriate for that question, and how to validate your choice using techniques like cross-validation and performance metrics. They'll help you practice quickly assessing trade-offs between model complexity and interpretability, and teach you how to document your reasoning so graders understand your approach. This is where tutoring adds real value—working through past projects with feedback helps you build intuition about when to use logistic regression versus random forests, or how to handle imbalanced data.
Exam PA graders expect you to communicate findings to a business audience, not just build accurate models. Your executive summary and interpretations must explain what your model does, why it matters for the business problem, and what limitations exist—all in clear, non-technical language. Many strong statisticians lose points here because they either over-explain the math or fail to connect their analysis back to the original business objective. Tutoring can help you practice translating technical results into compelling narratives and getting feedback on clarity before the exam.
Most successful candidates allocate roughly 60-70% of their time to the first project and 30-40% to the second, since the first project typically involves more exploratory work and model building. The key is setting time checkpoints: spend the first 20-25% of your time understanding the data and business problem, the next 50% building and validating models, and the final 25% writing clear summaries and double-checking your work. A tutor can help you practice this pacing on realistic projects, identify where you tend to lose time (often in debugging or over-engineering models), and develop strategies to stay on track when you hit obstacles.
Practice under conditions that match the real exam: work on complete projects in a single sitting with time limits, use the same software environment you'll have on exam day, and practice writing summaries in the format the SOA expects. Many candidates practice individual skills in isolation but then struggle with the integrated workflow of the actual exam. A tutor can provide realistic practice projects, simulate exam conditions, and give you feedback on both your technical work and your written communication so you know exactly what to expect and where to improve.
Look for someone with hands-on experience passing Exam PA themselves and ideally working in predictive analytics or actuarial roles. They should be fluent in R or Python, understand the SOA's grading rubric, and have experience coaching students through the unique challenges of project-based exams. A good PA tutor can diagnose whether you're struggling with statistics, coding, model selection, or communication—and tailor their approach accordingly. They should also be able to provide realistic practice projects and feedback that mimics what graders will be looking for.
