Amanda
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +84 Subjects
I'm currently a fourth year medical student at a private medical school in Texas. I've been involved with tutoring since middle school continuing all the way through medical school. There are so many different ways to teach based on how students learn best and I am passionate about meeting the individual needs of students so they can succeed. I took unconventional approaches to learning as instilled by mentors throughout my life that greatly increased my ability to learn and comprehend material . I've worked with tutoring students in ACT prep, SAT prep, MCAT prep, IB and AP courses, as well as STEM subjects from elementary school through to college. Recently, I've also tutored for USMLE Step 1 & 2. I also edit and work with students who need tutors for writing and reading comprehension. I have extensive experience in both college and medical school admissions and work yearly with students on essays and applications. I went to high school at the Downingtown STEM Academy and graduated May 2018 from the University of Alabama with a 4.2. I have a BS in Biology with minors in Social Work and Social Welfare. I will be graduating with an MD and MPH in May 2022. I tutor english, math, geometry, algebra, SAT, ACT, MCAT, USMLE chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, and writing along with other subjects. I've worked with rural students in Alabama, students in the Greater Philadelphia area, and students in urban areas. I believe education should be personalized and while schools can't provide this due to lack of resources, tutors are a great substitute for that. Education is the gateway to social mobility and happiness and I seek to prepare my student to meet their individual goals. I work to create an environment where the student can focus on understanding the material for their own understanding and not for others which significantly increases the students confidence in the subject matter and their desire to learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find the transition from Exam FM concepts to more advanced actuarial mathematics challenging, particularly in areas like survival analysis, force of mortality, and the relationships between different life table functions. Multi-state models and their applications to insurance products also trip up many candidates because they require both conceptual understanding and precise calculation. Additionally, the integration of financial mathematics with mortality assumptions—especially when deriving present values of life contingencies—demands strong foundational skills that many students need to reinforce.
Rather than memorizing formulas, a skilled tutor helps you see how survival probabilities, force of mortality, and annuity calculations connect to real insurance problems. For example, understanding why the present value of a life annuity depends on both discount rates and mortality risk—and how these interact—makes the formulas meaningful instead of arbitrary. Tutors also help you work through derivations step-by-step, showing you where each formula comes from and how to adapt it when exam questions present variations or unfamiliar scenarios.
Expert tutors guide you through identifying what type of problem you're facing—whether it's a pure survival analysis question, a life contingency calculation, or a multi-state model application—so you can select the right approach before diving into calculations. They teach you to sketch out the timeline of cash flows, clearly define your assumptions about mortality and interest rates, and break complex multi-step problems into manageable pieces. This structured approach reduces calculation errors and helps you recognize patterns across different problem types, which is essential for managing the exam's time pressure.
Exam LTAM requires both speed and accuracy with calculations involving life tables, annuity factors, and present values—often with multiple steps and decimal precision. A tutor helps you practice working through full problems under timed conditions, identifying where you're losing time and which calculation shortcuts are safe versus risky. They also help you develop strategies for checking your work efficiently and knowing when a calculator approach versus a conceptual shortcut makes sense, so you can manage the exam's scope without burning out on tedious arithmetic.
LTAM uses dense actuarial notation—subscripts, superscripts, and special symbols like the circle notation for annuities—that can feel overwhelming at first. A tutor breaks this notation into digestible pieces, showing you that each symbol carries specific meaning about timing, mortality assumptions, and payment patterns. By practicing notation in context (working actual problems rather than memorizing symbols in isolation), you'll internalize what each symbol means and stop getting tripped up by variations like the difference between a̅ₓ and ä̅ₓ.
Multi-state models are abstract and require you to think about transitions between states (alive, disabled, dead, etc.) and calculate probabilities and present values across those transitions. Tutors often start with simple two-state models (like traditional mortality) before building to more complex scenarios, and they use diagrams to visualize state transitions so you can see the logic before tackling the math. This visual-to-algebraic progression helps you understand why certain formulas apply in specific situations and builds confidence for exam questions that describe unfamiliar state structures.
The BA II Plus calculator is standard for LTAM, and you need to be fluent with its financial functions (NPV, IRR, TVM solver) as well as basic statistical functions for working with life tables and survival probabilities. A tutor can show you efficient workflows for common LTAM calculations—like setting up annuity factor computations or working with survival probabilities—so you're not fumbling during the exam. Practice with the calculator under timed conditions also helps you avoid input errors and know when mental math or estimation is faster than calculator entry.
If you're struggling with time value of money calculations, annuity formulas, or the relationship between present and future values, you likely need to refresh those Exam FM foundations before diving deep into LTAM. A tutor can quickly assess whether gaps in financial mathematics are holding you back or if your challenge is truly the actuarial-specific material. Often, a focused review of FM concepts—especially how interest rates affect present values—combined with LTAM-specific instruction is the fastest path to exam readiness.
