"Hi! I’m a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries (FSA) with dual degrees in Mathematics and Statistics from Penn State. Over the past 12+ years, I’ve worked as both an actuarial consultant (7 years) and in reinsurance pricing (5 years), applying math and statistics to real-world financial problems every day.

I tutor because I enjoy breaking down complex topics and helping students see the “why” behind the formulas. My philosophy is simple: true understanding comes from first principles, not memorization. Once the foundation is clear, the details become much easier — and far less intimidating.

Subjects I can help with:

Actuarial exam preparation (all SOA/CAS exams — I’ve passed 9 myself)

College mathematics & statistics (probability, calculus, linear algebra, regression, financial math)

High school math through AP Calculus & Statistics

Applied math in finance, Excel modeling, and problem-solving techniques

Students describe my style as patient, clear, and practical. I connect abstract concepts to examples, making learning engaging and approachable. Whether you’re preparing for an actuarial exam, tackling tough coursework, or building confidence in math, I’ll help you understand the core ideas so you can solve problems independently." less...
