Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Exam SRM candidates typically struggle most with the advanced probability and statistical inference sections, particularly conditional probability, Bayesian methods, and maximum likelihood estimation in applied contexts. Many also find the transition from theoretical concepts to real-world risk modeling applications difficult—understanding how to select and apply the right statistical model for insurance and financial data requires both conceptual mastery and practical judgment. Tutors experienced with Exam SRM help candidates build confidence in these areas by connecting abstract theory to concrete risk scenarios they'll encounter in practice.
A skilled Exam SRM tutor teaches you to recognize the distinguishing features of different risk scenarios—claim frequency distributions, severity modeling, tail behavior, and data characteristics—that signal which model to apply. Rather than memorizing formulas, you'll learn decision frameworks: when does a Poisson model fit better than negative binomial? When should you use generalized linear models versus traditional regression? Tutors walk you through practice problems where you justify your model choice, building the reasoning skills the exam tests.
Exam SRM involves substantial computational work with limited time, so tutors focus on teaching efficient calculation strategies and helping you identify which steps truly matter versus which can be streamlined or approximated. You'll practice organizing multi-step problems (like constructing confidence intervals or running hypothesis tests on insurance data) so you can work systematically without losing track. Tutors also help you recognize common calculation patterns and shortcuts specific to risk modeling problems, so you can work faster without sacrificing accuracy.
Exam SRM assumes solid understanding of probability fundamentals, but many candidates have gaps—perhaps they learned hypothesis testing procedurally without grasping Type I and Type II errors, or they don't fully understand how maximum likelihood estimation connects to real parameter estimation in claims modeling. A tutor starts by assessing which foundational concepts need reinforcement, then rebuilds those concepts using risk and insurance examples rather than generic statistics problems. This targeted approach prevents you from memorizing SRM-specific techniques without the underlying statistical intuition you need to apply them flexibly.
Beyond content mastery, tutors help you develop a strategic approach to the exam: prioritizing questions by difficulty and time investment, recognizing which problems require exact calculations versus reasonable approximations, and managing the balance between speed and accuracy. Many candidates benefit from learning how to quickly sketch probability distributions or risk scenarios to organize their thinking before diving into calculations. Tutors also teach you to identify common distractors and misinterpretations in SRM questions, so you avoid the pitfalls that trip up well-prepared candidates.
Rather than just grinding through problems, a tutor guides you to practice strategically: start with problems where you understand the concepts but need to build calculation fluency, then progress to problems requiring model selection and judgment. After each problem, a tutor helps you reflect on your reasoning—did you choose the right approach? Could you explain why that model fits? What would you do differently next time? This reflective practice builds the problem-solving intuition that separates candidates who memorize solutions from those who truly understand risk modeling principles and can adapt to unfamiliar scenarios.
Look for tutors who have passed Exam SRM themselves and ideally have professional experience in actuarial work, insurance, or risk modeling—this ensures they understand not just the theory but how these statistical methods apply in real business contexts. A strong SRM tutor should be able to explain why a particular approach matters, connect different topics together, and help you see patterns across the curriculum rather than treating each topic in isolation. They should also be comfortable with the mathematical depth of the exam and able to explain both the conceptual 'why' and the computational 'how' fluently.
Many candidates feel intimidated by the mathematical rigor of Exam SRM, but tutors help you build confidence by breaking complex topics into manageable pieces and showing you that you can master them step by step. Working through problems with immediate feedback—where a tutor explains not just the answer but your thinking process—reduces the anxiety of feeling lost. As you see patterns emerge and develop genuine understanding rather than relying on memorization, your confidence naturally grows, and you approach practice exams and the real exam with the calm that comes from actually knowing the material.
