S7 Tutoring

I can't thank Garth enough, as my job depended on passing the S7. I did not pass the S7 on my first attempt, but was able to succeed the second time, with the help of Garth. Specifically, he helped me to understand Options/Options Math, Long/Short Accounts and Margins Math, and Balance/Income Sheet math. I do not think I would have passed without his tutoring. I had been provided help through work, but still did not understand the concepts. Garth was extremely knowledgeable, and able to break the information down in a way that I was able to comprehend, and understand it. He also provided tips and tricks to remembering certain formulas. I am beyond grateful! -Adrian

Thank you for the feedback Adrian! Congratulations on passing the Series 7 exam. It was a pleasure working with you. I'm so excited to hear that you found our time together to be so beneficial!

Knowledgeable and attentive

Garth helped me with the Series 66 material after I found myself struggling with rules and regulations specifically. Garth is very attentive and truly cares about his students. He teaches in a way where he makes the material easier to understand. I passed the 66 today and can’t recommend him enough!

SIE Tutor - Garth

Garth took the subjects I was having trouble with and broke them down into more manageable parts. His style suits visual learners well, and he spends extra time explaining concepts until they click. I’d recommend him to anyone preparing for a FINRA exam.

Great teacher!

Garth helped me pass my series 66. He was available to meet frequently, was very flexible, and extremely knowledgeable on the test. Wouldn't have passed if it wasn't for his help. Would recommend!

The BEST for Series 7!

Garth is an incredible tutor for the Series 7. He is patient, very good at explaining, and helped build up my confidence to pass the exam on the first try! Garth really helped break down complex topics (options, margin, etc.) into easy to understand and remember ways. I would definitely recommend hiring Garth for anyone taking the Series 7. I could not have passed without his help.
