Personal Statement

More than 1,700+ (5 Star) ratings, and I've helped more than 400 people pass their SIE (Securities Industry Essentials), Series 3, 6, 7, 9, 10, 24, 26, 63, 65, 66, 79, and other FINRA/NASAA exams.

Much of the Series 6, 7, and other FINRA exams deal with options, municipal securities, underwritings, bonds, suitability, finance, and regulations. While much of the Series 63, 65, and 66 exams deal with exemptions and exceptions. I have over 25 years of industry experience as a financial advi...

Reviews

Kevin helped me with Series 7 exam, that I passed after the 2nd attempt. He has an industry experience as well as great approach to guide students how to take a test successfully.

Had a great first session reviewing concepts and I?m looking forward to continuing through the course work and better understanding of the material.

We worked on bonds today. Kevin is a very effective teacher. He helped me get through the SIE study in a short period and I was able to pass the exam. Now working on Series 7. I have a couple of weeks to cram and being able to take one-on-one lessons is a real help.
- Glenn S. from Sugar Land, TX
Kevin is excellent! Goes at your pace. Breaks down the complex into bite size chunks to you are able to process and understand. Brings a human side to the sometimes bland subject matter with real life examples.
- Scott M. from Pittsburgh, PA
I learned more in the first hour with Kevin than I had cumulatively with various other tutors and videos over the past month. He shares a few seemingly basic tips/tricks then teaches you to apply them to every single question. They will change your entire approach to taking the exam. He shoots straight and doesn?t waste a single minute of your time together. Five stars aren?t enough.
- Emilee E. from Broken Arrow, OK
His option program is exceptional and very easy to understand. He asked great questions to get a feel of your knowledge. I am very happy to continue on this training path with him.

I took tutoring sessions with Kevin while studying for the Series 7 and Series 66. I passed both of them on my first try with his help! Kevin is a valuable resource with his knowledge on the subject material and his tricks to memorize key facts. He always greeted me with a smile and his encouragement increased my confidence going into the tests. I could not have passed without him and would refer him to anyone who plans to take exams.

Kevin is working with me on Options, for the Series 7 exam. I took the Series 7 a month ago, and scored a 70% on the exam. There were so many Options questions (at least 40-45 questions), and the questions felt foreign to me, even though I had been scoring well on the section when I was studying. I realized during the exam that I did not understand Options, as the questions were more difficult than the ones I had been practicing. Kevin is helping me understand the material, and is making it so much easier to interpret. His Options chart is very easy to memorize, and his technique is much better than Training Consultants. I am looking forward to working with him further on this section, because the confidence he is giving me with the questions is truly amazing. I take my exam later this month. I highly recommend Kevin, he is worth every dollar.

I have taken my fair share of FINRA exams. I had failed the Series 66 twices before reaching out to Kevin. I finally passed it with his help. He is so patient and knowledgeable. He always encouraged me to push myself. He would go through every question i had in great detail and explain certain concepts in a way that made sense. He is an amazing tutor and really knows his stuff. I highly recommend him for anyone struggling with their exams!
- Kalie V. from Stamford, CT
Kevin was so helpful! He really challenged me to know the information on the Series 66 and I really appreciate him for that! It was very frustrating with some parts because I thought I knew all the material until he showed me questions that weren't like the Kaplan Qbank and made me really think about the question. Kevin is a fantastic teacher and is able to explain things that helped me realize what I missed and made sure I wasn't going to miss it again. I would recommend him to anyone that is studying for any financial exam!! THANK YOU KEVIN!
- Warren B. from Eden, AZ
I took the Series 9 exam twice before coming to Kevin for assistance. When I got to Kevin he simplified things in the Series 9 material that my Series 9 vendor had made more difficult than need be. Kevin not only simplified things, but made sure I knew what was need to pass the 9 on my next attempt which I did and I can't thank Kevin enough. Would highly recommend if you need assistance with any of your FINRA exams. I will be going back to Kevin for assistance with my Series 10 exam as well.
- Keith W. from Saint Charles, MO
Today I was able to pass the series 65. I honestly could not have passed the test without Kevin?s help. He helped me break down the legal part of the exam to help me understand it. Kevin in a great teacher and a huge asset in passing any investment exam.
- Steve S. from Irving, TX
Kevin is great at laying out concepts and explaining / exploring them visually! Excited to learn more in the coming weeks.
- Megan M. from Garrison, NY
I found Kevin after failing my exam once. With his help, I was able to pass. I presented him with topics that I was having trouble understanding and he was able to break them down for me in a way that was much more comprehendible than what I learned in the books provided to me. If you are struggling to grasp certain topics, I definitely recommend scheduling a session.
- Elizabeth S. from New York, NY
I found Kevin while preparing to take the series 7 for my third time. I had previously taken the Kaplan course and I can easily say Kevin?s tools and explanations were far more thorough in achieving a better understanding of concepts and applying them to test questions.
- Laura A. from Mckinney, TX
Really helped lay the ground work and begin the process. He is very patient and knowledgeable and I look forward to my next session.
- Mike P. from Kansas City, MO
Read all the reviews and without a doubt very knowledgeable, very nice guy but I had to move on as after almost $400 in charges, I feel farther away than when I started. I was hoping for more of a "teacher" type of instructor, this one is more like flashcard learning. I was hoping for more of teach me and then quiz me but this was a quiz me (get frustrated) and then try to teach me. Not conducive to my style of learning. Does have some good testing concepts from what I can tell but haven't re-tested them to see if they work or not. Sadly, I have to move on......No hard feelings from me other than it's expensive and I don't feel any value for what I've paid. Having an outline to prepare or course material for upcoming sessions would probably be helpful and definitely more time-efficient
- Shawn S. from Lake City, FL
kevin helped me through the process of passing my series 6 and I could only attribute it to him. He went through the background knowledge and tested to see what I needed help on. He was very knowledgeable and allowed me to pick and choose where I needed to focus our time as well as providing the connections between the other concepts. The amount of care that went into ensuring that I had full knowledge and confidence before taking my exam was unmatched. I would highly recommend working with Kevin and will definitely use him for my upcoming tests as well!
- William F. from South Hadley, MA
Very knowledgeable- made topics interesting. He also has a ton of industry experience which is great. Had good strategies for remembering terms and concepts. Excited for my next class
- Connor A. from Heavener, OK
Kevin is a great instructor and really made sure I understood the concepts. He also provided me with strategies on answering practice questions for the Series 66.
