Bio

I have saved dozens of jobs for students at top investment banks, RIAs, and BDs by having them pass the FINRA and NASAA exams. My strategy is for the student to understand the material, not memorize. I have been in the financial industry for more than a decade ranging from prop trading millions of dollars setting company records and asset management at a top investment bank and external wholesaling at a Fortune 500 company raising hundreds of millions.

I have saved dozens of jobs for students at top investment banks, RIAs, and BDs by having them pass the FINRA and NASAA exams. My strategy is for the student to understand the material, not memorize. I have been in the financial industry for more than a decade ranging from prop trading millions of dollars setting company records and asset management at a top investment bank and external wholesaling at a Fortune 500 company raising hundreds of millions.

I graduated Macaulay Honors College at Baruch College with a major in Economics (3.5 GPA) on a full-merit based scholarship in 2014. Since then, I have worked in the financial industry in various capacities including proprietary trading, asset management at Cantor Fitzgerald, external wholesaling variable annuities, mutual funds, SMAs, and alternatives, and directing investor relations for healthcare real estate private placement DSTs.

I have multiple FINRA and NASAA licenses-SIE, 7, 55, 63, and 65 that I aced on my first try within a week of studying. My competitive advantage is breaking down complex subjects into simple building blocks and providing real-life examples that make the material real, exciting, and memorable. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals!

Finance

Interview Prep

Interview Prep

Being a great interviewer is about selling yourself. I have a decade plus of experience myself interviewing and others for top Fortune 500 companies, selling complex investments to institutional and retail clients, and having the ability to pivot to different areas of finance successfully. I help professionals prepare for interviews with a clear, structured approach that builds confidence and delivers results. My background includes experience as a proprietary trader and leadership roles across capital markets and asset management, including serving as a Vice President at Cantor Fitzgerald raising hundreds of millions with mutual funds, SMAs, and alts and I was a Director of Capital Markets and currently Director of Investor Relations working with alternative investments and sophisticated investor audiences. This real-world experience allows me to teach not just what to say, but how hiring managers actually evaluate candidates. My focus goes beyond answering questions. I help you communicate your value, think on your feet, and position yourself effectively in high-stakes conversations. We’ll work through real interview scenarios, refine your responses, and sharpen your delivery so you come across as confident, polished, and prepared. Whether you’re preparing for finance roles, client-facing positions, or competitive programs, I’ll help you walk into your interview knowing exactly how to stand out and how to win.
Real Estate

Real Estate

I began my real estate career as a licensed agent in the competitive New York City market, gaining firsthand experience in transactions and client negotiations. I later worked in alternative investments at Cantor Fitzgerald, where I helped raise capital for CF Income Trust, a large private REIT, multiple DSTs, and our Opportunity Zone Fund II. From there, I moved into capital markets roles focused on real estate-backed investments and currently lead investor relations for healthcare and active adult real estate funds. In addition to my institutional experience, I am an active real estate investor and have helped multiple students successfully pass their real estate licensing exams. My approach combines real-world insight with clear, practical instruction so students not only pass, but truly understand the material.
Russian

Russian

My first language growing was Russian. I was born in Riga, Latvia and learned Russian first. I also took various Russian courses in Reading, Writing, and Literature up until high school in a Russian after school program on Saturdays called School Plus.
Series 6

Series 6

I have saved multiple jobs where students have had to pass the Series 6 on their last try. I also have experience selling both variable annuities and mutual funds so I'm uniquely well-positioned to teach the 6. I have more than a decade of experience in the financial industry and I received an degree in Economics from Macaulay Honors College at Baruch.
Series 63

Series 63

I have experience tutoring the Series 63, 65, 66, 6, 7, and SIE along with finance and economics and I have been working in the financial industry in various capacities since 2014 including Asset Management and Proprietary Trading. I have held on to my Series 63 for ten years.
Series 65

Series 65

I have saved dozens of jobs and careers for folks that had to pass their 65 on their last attempt-even some where they had a stroke and doctors and them never believed that they could pass the exam.

Series 66

Series 66

Series 7

Series 7

I have saved dozens of jobs and careers for folks that had to pass their 7 on their last attempt-some where English is their third language and that never believed that they could pass the exam. I aced my 7, 63, 65, and 55 on my first try and I have more than a decade of experience in the financial industry and I received an degree in Economics from Macaulay Honors College at Baruch. I was a proprietary trader so I'm uniquely well-suited to teaching options, orders, and a lot of the math concepts. I also used to wholesale annuities, mutual funds, and alternatives so I add a lot of value on the insurance side and investment vehicle characteristic side as well.
SIE Exam (Securities)

SIE Exam (Securities)

I’ve helped save dozens of careers for students who needed to pass the SIE on their final attempt including students with disabilities who never believed they could pass the exam. I passed the Series 7, 63, 65, and 55 on my first try and have more than a decade of experience in the financial industry. I also earned a degree in Economics from Macaulay Honors College at Baruch College. My background as a proprietary trader makes me uniquely qualified to teach options, order types, trading strategies, and many of the math-heavy concepts that students often struggle with. I also previously wholesaled annuities, which allows me to provide substantial value on the insurance and retirement planning side of the industry. Most importantly, I focus on teaching concepts and building true understanding, not having students memorize random facts. My goal is to help you think like a professional so you can confidently pass your exams and succeed in the industry afterward.
Volleyball

Volleyball

I grew up playing volleyball and played for a competitive club team called Six Pak in NJ. We completed at the East Coast Championships at the Richmond Convention Center against teams from all over including Puerto Rico. I was recruited to play college volleyball at Emerson College, but decided not to pursue it as I had an academic scholarship at Macaulay Honors College at Baruch. There, I practiced with the volleyball team occasionally. I've also competed and won various beach tournaments locally in NJ and quads and sixes as well.

The Absolute Best!

Arseny helped me with my Series 66 and my Series 7. Passed both on my first try and there is no chance I would have passed first try without him. Super knowledgeable and was really good at helping me understand the topics by comparing them to topics outside of finance that would allow me to grasp the information easier. He gave me a lot of little tips and tricks for the exams even outside of our meeting that were super helpful. Really cares about everyone he tutors and is fully invested and passionate about what he is teaching. 5 stars across the board.

Helped me pass the Series 65

I decided on getting a tutor after failing the series 65 for the second time. With so many to choose from, it was hard to decide on which one to go with. I took a chance on Sunny and really leaned on him for advice, expertise, intention, and accountability. After passing the Series 65, I can confidently say Sunny had helped with all of those areas. He was genuine in his approach and encouraged me to stay focused going into my third attempt. I had a lot on the line, and we were able to make it happen. You never want to feel that you are backed up against a wall in life, but when you are, you go to people that you can depend on. You can depend on Sunny, and I am so happy I took the leap of faith to choose him as my tutor.

series 65

Sunny is great. Got good game plan for 4days out and went over balance sheet, pooled investments and convertible bonds and stocks.

Chris, 5 lessons with Arseny (Sunny)

Series 7 Expert

Sunny provided great breakdowns of any topic I asked about, along with resources that helped get me over the hump. Working with Sunny not only helped me better understand the portions of the exam I struggled with, but also gave me the confidence I needed to pass comfortably. One thing I particularly appreciated was Sunny's willingness to go beyond simply answering my questions. He took the initiative to share his perspective on how to approach the exam itself, including strategies for reading and breaking down questions. This wasn't something I'd given much thought to in my preparation, and his advice proved incredibly valuable on test day. If you're looking for a personable and knowledgeable tutor who can help you overcome the challenge that is the Series 7, I'd highly recommend booking time with Sunny.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

I highly recommend this tutor! His guidance, patience, and clear explanations made a huge difference in helping me pass the series 7 exam. He broke down complex topics into easy to understand concepts and helped me very confident going into the exam. I took his advice in the test taking strategy and it helped me a lot. If you are looking for a tutor to pass the series 7 Sunny is your guy !

Gabriel, 4 lessons with Arseny (Sunny)

Excellent Tutor

Sunny is an all-around great tutor and person. He really cares beyond just teaching the material and helped build the confidence needed for test day. Have used many tutors but Sunny is the real deal. Set me up with a study plan based on my personal study habits and went over specific sections with real life examples that made it easier to understand rather than textbook examples. Highly recommend!

Ryan, 3 lessons with Arseny (Sunny)

series 65

Sunny is great. 18 days out from my exam. Gave me a game plan and different testing strategy. Good change of pace after drowning in the content.

Thank You!

Hi Sunny (Arseny), I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you for all your support, guidance, and encouragement throughout my Series 7 journey. Your willingness to take the time to tutor me, share your knowledge, and be such a strong advocate truly meant more than you know. Balancing everything while preparing for this exam was certainly challenging, but having someone like you in my corner made a tremendous difference. I’m incredibly grateful for your patience, generosity, and genuine investment in my success. Passing this exam was a meaningful milestone for me, and I wanted you to know how much I appreciate the role you played in helping me get there. Thank you again for being such a wonderful colleague, mentor, and advocate!

SAVED MY LIFE- Passed my Series 7

Such a great tutor, explains things in a way that actually make you understand them. He provides so many helpful resources and insights, and he was always responsive and willing to answer questions even outside of our scheduled sessions. You can tell he genuinely cares about his students and truly wants to see them pass and succeed. !!If you wanna pass, work with him!!

Kayleigh, 8 lessons with Arseny (Sunny)

Dedicated, Knowledgeable, and Efficient!!

I came to Sunny after I missed my first Series 7 attempt by 3% and for some time, I truly felt like I wouldn't be able to get over the hump. However, you won't have that problem if you choose Sunny. He genuinely cares about his students and prioritizes understanding the core concepts of what you're being tested on to provide you with a strong foundation. In addition, I'll never forget the late-night calls or even the morning of my exam, Sunny was blowing up my phone wishing me luck and providing me with last minute tips and info!! The sincerity and care he has for those he helps truly does shine through. Whether you need a few basic questions answered about options or a full comprehensive study plan -- I cannot recommend Sunny enough and if you decide to go with him, I promise you won't be disappointed.
