Anish’s AP Exams Qualifications

Coaches professionally

Scored a 5 on the AP Exams

10+ people coached for AP Exams

I'm passionate about helping students not just pass their AP exams, but truly understand the underlying concepts that will serve them throughout college and beyond. During my high school years, I earned 5s on multiple AP exams including Calculus BC, Statistics, and Economics, and I've since spent 5 years coaching students to similar success. My approach focuses on building genuine understanding rather than memorization. I break down complex concepts into digestible parts, create personalized study plans based on each student's strengths and weaknesses, and use real-world examples to make abstract ideas concrete. My students have consistently improved their practice test scores by an average of 2+ points, with many achieving their target scores of 4s and 5s. Beyond test prep, I help students develop problem-solving frameworks and study habits that will benefit them long after exam day.

About Anish

I'm a quantitative finance professional currently working as a Analyst at D.E. Shaw, with prior experience at Balyasny Asset Management, NVIDIA, and EY-Parthenon. As a McCombs student majoring in Management Information Systems and Mechanical Engineering, I've developed a strong foundation in both the technical and strategic aspects of quantitative finance. My diverse background spanning strategy consulting, product management, and quant trading equips me with a comprehensive perspective on what it takes to succeed in this competitive field. I have successfully coached many individuals, helping them navigate the complexities of breaking into quantitative finance and achieve their career goals at firms like Citadel, Two Sigma, and Jane Street. My approach is practical and grounded in recent experience, I understand the current recruiting landscape because I've just navigated it myself. Whether you're a student looking to land your first quant internship, a career changer pivoting into finance, or someone aiming to advance from a mid-tier firm to a top shop, I'm here to provide tailored guidance and support. Let's connect and chart your path to success in quantitative finance!

Why do I coach?

Breaking into quantitative finance felt impossible when I started, I didn't know where to begin, what skills mattered, or how to stand out. I made countless mistakes, sent applications into the void, and struggled to crack the interview process. What changed everything was connecting with people who had recently been in my shoes and could give me honest, practical advice. Now that I'm on the other side, I coach because I remember how isolating and overwhelming the process felt. I want to be the person I wish I had when I was starting out, someone who could demystify the recruiting process, share what actually works, and help turn anxiety into confidence. Seeing my clients land their dream roles reminds me why this matters: everyone deserves a guide who believes in them and knows the path forward.
