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!

Approved Subjects

Finance

Finance

I've been working in Finance since 2014. I have 5 FINRA licenses and have tutored finance for 3 years.
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. 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.
Series 66

Series 66

I have experience tutoring the Series 66, 65, 63, 6, 7, and SIE along with finance and economics in general and I have been working in the financial industry in various capacities since 2014 including Asset Management and Proprietary Trading. I have sold and traded many of the products that are referenced on the exams including Mutual Funds, REITS, interval funds, variable annuities, ETFs, ETNs and many more.
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.

great educator!!!

I genuinely look forward to meeting with Sunny, which is so important when in the stress of studying for a hard exam. He makes the concept easier to understand with analogies, and truly caters the sessions to how it will best benefit the student.

The Real Deal

When you search for a tutor the main thing that enters your mind is will it be a fit. Not only is Sunny a great fit but we has a gift of explicating challenging info in comprehensible laymans terms that even a child can grasp. That and his overall patience and knowledge is not easily found. I highly recommend his services for whatever it is your trying to accomplish in the financial industry

Arseny is an Excellent Tutor

Arseny is one of the best tutors I’ve ever had. He is so knowledgeable and is able to explain materials in a way that is easy to digest. In addition to that he stays connected with you beyond the process and makes sure you have all the resources you need to get you past the finish line. I cannot recommend him enough.

Sunny is the Best! Passed my test Today!

I honestly can’t say enough good things about my experience with Sunny. I worked with him for just one month leading up to my test, and the difference he made was incredible. Before working with him, I was struggling not only to understand certain concepts but, more importantly, to retain the information I was studying. He has a way of breaking down complicated topics into simple, understandable concepts and teaching you how to actually remember them. He was patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. By the time I took my test, I felt much more confident and prepared, and I’m proud to say that I passed. If you’re preparing for an exam and feel overwhelmed or unsure about how to retain everything, I would highly recommend working with him. He made a huge difference for me in a very short amount of time.

Knowledgeable and Easy to Follow

Sunny went over Options and Margin with me in preparation for my series 7 and really made them easy to understand. He went through several options problems with me and showed me the easiest ways to do them! Thank you again!

Arseny Helped Me Pass Series 79 and 63!

Arseny was an incredible tutor who helped me pass both the Series 79 and Series 63. He broke down dense investment banking and state law concepts into simple, easy-to-understand terms and gave me the exact strategies I needed to pass.

Adrian, 6 lessons with Arseny (Sunny)

Arseny Has Great Resources

Arseny helped me work through both my series 7 and series 66 and I passed both with his help! He was so responsive and had so many resources to help me be as prepared as I could. I would recommend him to anyone needing help! I was able to study and pass both tests in a timely manner and thanks to him I'm moving on to next steps with my job!

Kelly, 15 lessons with Arseny (Sunny)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Sunny is fantastic! He not only simplifies material, but offers really great explanations as well as great test taking tips. I am using him again for the rest of my testing! (Currently using him for my Series 63)

Responsive and Dedicated

Sunny is a wonderful tutor! Like most of us taking these exams, our schedules get busy with work and other things, but he's incredibly understanding and accommodating. He genuinely wants to see us succeed and will do whatever it takes to help us get there.
