About Arseny


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 asset management at a top investment bank raising hundreds of millions, prop trading millions of dollars, and external wholesaling at a Fortune 500 company raising hundreds of millions.

I graduated Macaulay Honors College...

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 asset management at a top investment bank raising hundreds of millions, prop trading millions of dollars, 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, and external wholesaling. I am currently the Director of Capital Markets at a rapidly growing firm out of the Midwest, working in alternative fixed-income and real estate.

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!

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

I was a proprietary trader so I'm uniquely well-suited to teaching options, orders, and a lot of the math concepts and I used to wholesale annuities so I add a lot of value on the insurance side as well.
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.

Meaningful knowledge that helped me enormously

Sonny's deep knowledge and thoughtful tutoring lessons have been invaluable to me. He works with all levels and has a strong grasp on the questioning style of the exam.

Game-Changing Series 65 Tutor

It was paramount that I had to pass my Series 65 before the end of the year and the test itself was a piece of cake because of Sunny! I was struggling with some of the most confusing parts of the exam, especially registration of investment advisers and IARs, agents, and broker-dealers, along with exclusions and exempt securities and transactions. Sunny has a rare ability to make complex material understandable. He truly cares about his students and takes the time to make sure you actually understand the concepts, not just memorize rules. He uses clear analogies, real-world examples, and constantly connects the dots so everything finally makes sense in context. He is patient, kind, encouraging, extremely knowledgeable, and was genuinely invested in mysuccess. If you’re preparing for the Series 65 or any other exam and feel stuck or overwhelmed, I cannot recommend Sunny highly enough. Working with him was a game-changer, and I’m incredibly grateful for his support and guidance!

Awesome tutor for series 66!!

Arseny helped me tremendously in my preparation for the series 66 as he helped me dive deeper into the subjects I was struggling with the most. No matter the topic I threw his way he was always ready to go with a clear explanation. He really knows the subject matter front and back!

Aaron, 5 lessons with Arseny

Explains Complex Concepts Very Well

I scheduled a lesson with Arseny a day before taking my Series 7, and he did a great job breaking down complex concepts that didn't make a lot of sense. But he was able to break the concepts down, and I ended up using what I learned during our lesson in the actual exam.

Grace, 1 lesson with Arseny

THE BEST TUTOR

Arseny was so knowledgeable about the information, obviously! But on top of that, he was patient, helpful, excited, and led the conversation into topics he knew I may need more help with... he really took the time to help me succeed! He went above and beyond what I expected for a tutoring session and followed up with me after I PASSED (!!) the Series 66 to congratulate me! He is GREAT!

Kate, 6 lessons with Arseny

Patient and Knowledgeable Tutor

It was a very helpful experience working with Arseny while preparing for my SIE exam! He has an incredible amount of knowledge and he is very experienced with the material. Throughout our sessions he explained every topic clearly and patiently, making even the toughest concepts easy to understand. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to strengthen my understanding and feel well-prepared for the exam. I truly appreciate his support and highly recommend him to anyone preparing for the SIE or other exams.

Arseny Helped me pass the S7 First Try!

Arseny broke down options (spreads, straddles, combos, etc.) in a way that gave me a full grasp , and actually made options the easiest part of the test. He also gave me quick tips on parity, tax, and more. I would highly recommend using his services, as I just passed first try with his help!

Arseny was instrumental in helping me pass the Series 65 exam

Happy to share my experience - Arseny was instrumental in helping me pass the Series 65 exam. From the very beginning, he walked me through every step of the preparation process and kept me focused all the way to the finish line. One thing that really stood out was his coaching approach—he reminded me that the questions were often simpler than they seemed, which helped me stay calm and confident during the test. We also spent a lot of time reviewing the math sections, and he made sure to simplify each problem so I could approach them without anxiety. Thanks to Arseny’s guidance, I went into the exam feeling prepared, focused, and confident.

Very helpful and knowledgeable

I had failed my Series 63 in Aug, I was able to pass on my second attempt thanks to Arsney! Since I had gone through the material already Arsney pretty much made the lessons according to whatever subject I was having trouble with. He is very flexible with methods of teaching, did lessons more lecture type and also some was going over previous quizzes. He definitely knew the material, was able to help me understand the vocab in this test, getting to understand exactly what the questions was asking for. Helped with test taking tips, tips for taking my practice test, and what was the best way to take the test. He is also pretty flexible with time, I was able to schedule a lesson within the same day. I am very grateful for all the help he's provided me to pass my test. I HIGHLY recommend as a tutor!
