FINRA Tutors, Events, and Resources

I’m a finance professional and experienced FINRA exam instructor with multiple years of hands-on experience teaching the SIE and Series 7. I’ve taught and coached 30+ students through structured classes and individualized sessions, helping candidates from non-finance backgrounds as well as experienced professionals successfully prepare for exam day. In my full-time role in wealth and investment management, I apply the same concepts tested on the SIE and Series 7—equities, fixed income, options, suitability, and regulations—on a daily basis. My teaching style focuses on clarity, exam strategy, and real-world intuition, breaking down complex material into simple, testable frameworks so students feel confident and prepared walking into the exam.

Welcome to my profile! With over a decade of experience in the asset management industry, including senior roles at Franklin Templeton and BlackRock, I bring a wealth of knowledge regarding the practical application of FINRA guidelines, subject matter expertise, and test-taking strategy to help you excel in your FINRA exams. I am licensed for both Series 7 and Series 63, and have mentored many of my colleagues throughout my career.
