Hello, I am John, the author of Crush the Series 7: The Ultimate Rapid-Fire Prep Guide, available on Amazon — a study guide built directly from what actually works with my Series 7 exam takers students.

Hello, I am John, the author of Crush the Series 7: The Ultimate Rapid-Fire Prep Guide, available on Amazon — a study guide built directly from what actually works with my Series 7 exam takers students.

After years of tutoring candidates through the FINRA Series 7 exam, I noticed the same thing over and over: students weren't struggling with the concepts, they were drowning in scattered details — options, timings, suitability, taxation, debt — with no single place to see how the material flows clearly. So I built the tables, graphs, diagrams and memory aids I use in tutoring sessions into a guide, and that same rapid-fire, high-yield approach is exactly what I bring to every lesson.
The robust knowledge I bring to every student and session comes from an MBA with a concentration in Finance, BA in Economics with a minor in Business Administration, Certified Master Level Tutor certification through the College Reading and Learning Association. I tutored at the University Tutorial Center at Cal State LA for over a year and a half, worked as a Teaching Assistant for Economics at the undergraduate level, and received the university's Outstanding Graduate Student Award in 2008.
At the tutorial center, I taught:
• Accounting
• Business
• Economics
• Finance
• Marketing
• Mathematics
• Statistics
I also led study skills and college success workshops.
Whether you're just starting your Series 7 prep or fine-tuning before test day, I will help you cut through the noise and walk in ready, but you got to put in the effort.
Here is what students say: Hey John, I passed my exam. I memorized the options chart along with other materials you gave me, and it was essential. I'm sincerely grateful for your help. Thank you.

Approved Subjects

Arabic

Arabic

I am a native speaker of both English and Arabic. I read, write and speak Arabic fluently. Importantly, I have completed some of my university studies in an Arabic speaking country; and as such, I am very familiar with both everyday Arabic and high level academic Arabic. I understand that Arabic is difficult to learn for an English speaker, as it originates from a very different language group than English, but I have been quite successful in teaching Arabic to both English and Spanish speakers over the years. My wife, a native speaker of English, is my newest experiment.

An Absolutely Exceptional Series 7 Tutor

I worked with John while preparing for my Series 7 exam, and he was absolutely exceptional. He broke down complex topics like options. His teaching style is patient, structured, and incredibly effective. John's expertise, professionalism, and commitment to your success are unmatched. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Adam, 1 lesson with John

Great teacher!!

John was very patient with me and was able to explain to me concepts in economics that were not clear to me before. He was very nice to make sure I was secure with calculations and concepts before we went on. I learn with association with ideas and that is exactly what he did, and he used relatable examples which helped a lot. I would definitely recommend John!

Great tutor

I had 9 tutoring sessions with John for my Financial Management class. He was very thorough and made sure I could understand the concepts which could be challenging at times. However, John is extremely patient and answers all my questions and provides illustrations that could help me grasp the concepts. He also gave me ideas that were very useful for a final paper that I had to write. I received an A for the paper and am now doing extremely well in the class (A+). Thank you John for your wonderful help!
