I help candidates prepare for the Series 6 exam by focusing on the specific content that drives success. With over 25 years of experience in investment management and client-facing roles at money center banks and investment management firms, I bring practical insight to the products and rules tested. I've personally passed multiple FINRA exams (Series 6, 7, 24, 63, 65, and 66) and understand how FINRA structures questions, especially around product features, fees, and appropriate recommendations. My goal is to help you connect the dots between concepts and how they show up on the exam. My academic background includes both a Bachelors and Masters degree in Finance (4.0 GPA), along with the Certified Investment Management Analyst CIMA® designation. Sessions are customized based on your experience level and timeline.

I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Finance with a 4.0 GPA and earned the Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) designation in 2019. My background allows me to connect exam concepts to real-world application—making the material easier to understand and retain. Over the past five years, I have successfully tutored candidates across various securities exams, with a strong focus on Series 65 content.

My academic background includes both undergraduate and graduate degrees in Finance, each completed with a 4.0 GPA, along with the Certified Investment Management Analyst (CIMA®) designation. This foundation allows me to go beyond memorization and help students truly understand the regulatory and investment concepts tested on the Series 66 exam. I've worked with candidates across a range of licensing exams, with particular emphasis on the Series 66, by helping students break down complex topics such as state vs. federal regulation, investment adviser rules, portfolio construction, and ethical standards. In particular, I incorporate strategies to navigate the exam’s more nuanced and scenario-based questions. Sessions are tailored to each student’s background and timeline. Whether you are preparing for your first attempt or refining your approach after a prior exam, I focus on high-yield material, pattern recognition, and efficient study techniques to maximize your chances of success.
