Series 6

Series 6

I have vast professional experience, spanning more than 30 years, in the securities industry doing investment banking, trading bonds--including credit derivatives--and options. I do private tutoring, in person and online, for clients who are preparing for the FINRA SIE, Series 6, 65, 26, 7, 66, 24, 63, 57, and 4 qualifying examinations. My colleagues/clients have found tremendous value in my tutoring methodology.
Series 63

Series 63

I am a bond specialist by profession and hold the Series 7 and the Series 66 registrations with FINRA. The Series 63 is the Uniform Securities Agent State Law exam. This exam is designed to qualify candidates as securities agent within the States of the USA. The Series 66 is the Uniform Combined State Law exam and qualifies candidates as securities agent and investment advisor within the States. So the series 63 is part of the series 66 and subordinate to the series 66.
Series 65

Series 65

I am an Investment Advisor with the series 66 license. This is a larger license than the series 65, and the series 65 is contained within (or is a part of) the series 66. I teach a series 65 class.
Series 66

Series 66

I currently hold the FINRA Series 7, 66, and 24. My practice consists primarily of negotiating credit derivatives, an options platform, and private placements. I have many years of experience in preparing brokers for these exams. The series 66 can be a tricky exam whether you take it before or after the Series 7. My students find my method easy to follow and quite effective.
Series 7

Series 7

I am a former bond specialist at a NYSE firm and have the FINRA series 7, series 63, series 66 and series 24 registrations. I have a comprehensive knowledge of general securities as a rep and as a principal. The series 7 exam tests a great deal about municipal bonds and options. These require close attention and certain techniques (which I will teach you) to navigate successfully. I can teach you to move swiftly and correctly through the exam. I also have materials and real life experiences to share as I teach you the industry.
SIE Exam (Securities)

SIE Exam (Securities)

I hold the SIE; Series 7, 57, 66 (63 & 65); and 24. I have been tutoring all of these exams for many years on Wyzant. Please check student feedback.

Committed and determined tutor

I can’t thank Carlyle enough for helping me get through the Series 7. He was super committed and never rushed through anything, always making sure I actually understood the concepts before moving on. He’s really determined to help his students and pushed me to look at questions from different angles, which made such a big difference. I honestly felt like he cared about me actually learning, not just memorizing. If you’re looking for someone thorough and dedicated, I’d definitely recommend him.

Series 7 Exam Prep

Carlyle was very knowledgeable and able to provide me with a last minute coaching session to help solidify my understanding and bolster confidence before sitting for my Series 7 next week. I would definitely recommend him if you’re looking to be tutored by someone who knows the industry, communicates well and explains concepts in a way that’s digestible. I will definitely consider going back to Carlyle for future exam needs!

Knowledgeable and kind tutor

I first started working with Carlyle after I had failed my Series 7 and Series 66 exams on my first attempts. Carlyle helped me with my preparation for my second attempts for the Series 7 and Series 66. With his help, I was able to pass both exams my second time around. He was an amazing resource for me and was able to break down topics that were difficult for me into a more digestible context. Carlyle is very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He knows these exams inside and out and has experience in the industry. I am so grateful I found him through Wyzant and highly recommend him for tutoring services for the Series 7 and 66. Thank you so much for all the help Carlyle!

Knowledgeable and helpful guide

Carlyle was super helpful during my first session with him, we went over municipals which was my biggest struggle and we walked through his exam. At the end of the sessions I felt very confident in myself and was able to pass my exam on my first attempt thanks to Carlyle.
