Wonderful tutor

I've had a few sessions with Karen discussing Options, Bonds, trading markets. She is so knowledgeable but also knows how to break it down into terminology that is easy to understand.

Thanks for sharing your tutoring experience with me. I wish you all the very best in your career.

Series 7 Tutor - Friendly, helpful and understanding!

We have been going through the study material and Karen finds a way to make all concepts relatable and easy to understand. She is so friendly and caring! I am looking forward to working with her as we continue to move forward with my study plan. She has taken the stress out of the studying plan with me and has broken down the concepts to help me regain confidence in tackling the specific subjects that I have had difficulty with thus far. I know that I will be successful with Karen’s assistance. When you are reading concepts that seem daunting, Karen goes above and beyond to make sure that all concepts are easily understood in relatable, every day terms so that these same concepts can be applied during the specific exam in question. I always feel calm and I know that I can follow her lead for the best study plan moving forward as I gear up for taking my series 7 exam.

Thank you for sharing your experience with our lesson. I’m glad that I added value that helped you.

Relatable and easy to understand

Karen did a great job trying to help me get a better hold of options. She really made me have some moments of clarity and helped me with sample problems so I could get more practice. Can’t wait for my next session.

Best Tutor for 65

Karen explains topics to you in such a way that it's relatable and she doesn't in a manner that is encouraging. I've loved working with her and can't say enough good things about her!

Thank you for sharing your experience with our lesson. I’m glad that I added value that helped you.

Highly Recommend!

I passed my Series 7 and in large part to her tutoring! Her help with options and margins were invaluable. She is very patient and has wonderful memory tricks that really helped me on the exam.

Knowledgeable, Strong Industry Background, Patient and Available.

I was tasked with having to take the Series 7. Options and some of the other topics were not at top of mind. Karen was great. Quickly picked up where I needed work and really helped me get over my challenges. She is really patient and was good at slowing the pace down, if needed. DON'T mess around with other tutors. Hire Karen, she is great!

Very helpful with the Series 63

The best part of my tutoring session with Karen was her ability to listen to my concerns, have the knowledge and know how of answering them, and keeping things simple. Thank you so much. I passed!!!
