12th Grade Math Tutor • +42 Subjects
I have always been a goal oriented and reaching-for-the-stars individual. As a New York native, I graduated as the salutatorian from high school with regents' honors. I have excelled with 95%+ in all of my high school regents examinations. As a high school student I fell in love with Math & Science and frequently tutored my colleagues who were struggling with their classes. In my senior year of high school I achieved the NY1 Scholar Athlete scholarship and was placed on the NYC Chancellor's Honor Roll. I then went on to Stony Brook University where I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Biology. At Stony Brook, I was on the Dean's List every semester and a Golden Key Honor Society Member. After completing my undergraduate science classes, I became a Teaching Assistant for Biology and Chemistry. As a teaching assistant, I met with students on a one to one basis during office hours and helped strengthen their problem areas.After undergrad, I went to medical school and graduated with honors. During medical school I tutored and prepared students for the United States Medical License examinations. I prepared and delivered daily lectures for the internal medicine students and increased the pass rate from 65% to 90%. I completed my medical clerkships and attained my M.D. December 2014.I am committed, devoted and conscientious to everything I set my mind on and my decision to tutor reflects my lifelong desire for personal growth and education. When tutoring, I believe that 'diagnosing' a student's weakness is essential to building a strong foundation. It is my motto to work hard and give nothing less than my very best. It brings joy to me and the thrill of seeing a student improve with my help drives my compassion and love for teaching. Teaching not only excites me but has become a part of me that I am dedicated to and passionate about. In my spare time I enjoy playing volleyball and running various races and marathons.

10th Grade Math Tutor • +50 Subjects
One thing I know for sure is, as a student, the feeling of studying for a class or test and only vaguely understanding the material can be extremely stressful. That's why I am more than happy to share my knowledge with others who are struggling! Tutoring is a great way for me to spend my time helping others excel.I am currently a student at Rice University in Houston, Texas where I am majoring in Mathematical Economic Analysis. I have a strong math background and am also to teach test prep, having scored in the top percentile on the SAT and PSAT in high school. Best of all, I am still in school, so I know exactly what it is like to have classes, homework, tests, and deadlines!

In the years since I finished, I became an expert in data visualization and business analytics.I really enjoy working with students who ask a lot of questions and I can't wait to hear yours.
Natasha
ACCUPLACER ESL - Reading Skills Tutor • +33 Subjects
I believe that every person can get better at their task if they put their mind to it. I am a fifth year teacher who has taught both social studies and language arts at the middle school level. I've tutored at the elementary and adult levels, as well. My goal as a tutor is to help and guide students where they need/want to be. I want to know that my students understand the subject or topic at hand. As a teacher already, I know how to make connections and meaning to the topic and can help guide others into understanding, as well. I am driven to helping others accomplish their goal no matter how many sessions it takes, because that is my job.
Carolyn
Elementary Math Tutor • +38 Subjects
I am a graduate of The Ohio State University and received my Bachelor of Arts in Korean. After graduation, I was blessed with various opportunities and experiences that have enriched the quality of my life. I interned for 3 months under the professional golfer in Dallas, TX. I worked with their non-profit organization that provides aid to young and aspiring golfers and traveled to Tampa, Florida and Seoul, South Korea. After the internship ended, I returned to Columbus, Ohio and had a number of odd jobs before starting full-time at The Ohio State University. At The Ohio State University, I worked at the Office of Legal Affairs as a legal secretary/front-desk receptionist for 2 years before realizing my passion for helping children. So I decided to quit my desk job and am currently enrolled at OSU studying child psychology.I am approved to tutor Elementary and Middle school level Math, Reading, English, Study skills and Organization, ESL/ELL, ISEE-Lower Level, SSAT-Elementary Level, Korean language and Korean culture. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite subject is Korean language and culture. I love sharing and spreading my heritage with others and enjoy learning about other cultures as well. My #1 policy for tutoring is patience. I believe every person deserves a second chance (and maybe even a third, fourth and fifth!) and will strive to always be patient and encouraging when working with students. As far as teaching style, I will do an assessment of new clients and will apply Bloom's taxonomy in every project. I start off by making sure the student remembers and understands the basic knowledge of a concept, then I will help the student apply and analyze their knowledge for a deeper and enriching learning experience. After a few sessions, I'll re-evaluate the student's needs and make any necessary modifications in order to help the student attain their goal(s).Another large part of my life is devoted to volunteering at church. I was the Treasurer and Vice President of the Young Adults/College group for the year of 2013. I am currently the Praise Team leader for Friday worship service and enjoy singing and playing piano. Every summer, I volunteer as a counselor for Ohio Youth Camp and last summer, I traveled to Jamaica for 10 days on a short-term mission trip. Also in my spare time, I enjoy reading, journaling, listening to music, running, and watching comedies.

Frequently Asked Questions
The FS Exam (Financial Series Exam) is a professional certification examination required for individuals seeking to work in financial services, including roles in investment advisory, securities trading, and financial planning. The specific exam you need depends on your role—common versions include Series 7, Series 65, Series 63, and others—each testing knowledge of securities regulations, investment products, and ethical standards.
If you're pursuing or already working in roles like financial advisor, broker, or investment professional, your employer or regulatory body will specify which FS Exam(s) you need to pass to maintain compliance and advance your career.
Most candidates struggle with three main areas: the volume and density of regulatory content, the nuanced distinctions between similar rules and products, and applying knowledge to complex real-world scenarios. The exam tests not just memorization but your ability to reason through situational questions where multiple answers may seem partially correct.
Additionally, many working professionals balance exam prep with full-time jobs, making consistent study difficult. Personalized tutoring helps by targeting your specific knowledge gaps, clarifying confusing regulations, and building test-taking strategies—rather than reviewing material you already understand.
Group courses follow a fixed curriculum at a standard pace, which means you may spend time on topics you've already mastered while rushing through challenging areas. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction adapts in real-time to your knowledge level and learning pace, allowing a tutor to spend more time explaining complex regulatory concepts, drilling high-difficulty question types, and identifying your specific weak spots.
Tutors also provide accountability, test-taking strategies tailored to your learning style, and can clarify confusing regulations in plain language—something that's hard to get from textbooks or recorded lectures. This targeted approach typically leads to faster progress and higher confidence going into exam day.
The best FS Exam tutors combine deep knowledge of securities regulations and exam content with strong teaching skills. Look for someone who has passed the specific exam you're taking, understands current regulatory updates, and can explain complex topics in clear, accessible language. They should also be skilled at identifying your knowledge gaps quickly and adjusting their approach based on what you're struggling with.
Equally important is someone who understands the test format and can teach you question-analysis strategies, not just content. A great tutor will ask diagnostic questions early on, create a structured study plan, and track your progress toward specific score goals.
Preparation time varies based on your background and the specific exam, but most candidates need 40–100 hours of study total. If you're new to financial services, you may need more time to build foundational knowledge; if you have relevant work experience, you might need less. With personalized tutoring, you can often compress this timeline because your study is highly efficient—you're not reviewing familiar material or getting stuck on concepts you don't understand.
A typical tutoring plan might involve 1–3 sessions per week over 2–4 months, supplemented with structured practice between sessions. Your tutor can give you a more accurate estimate after assessing your current knowledge level.
Practice exams serve two key purposes: identifying your knowledge gaps and building familiarity with the test format and time pressure. Rather than taking full-length practice tests early in your prep, start with topic-specific practice questions to diagnose weak areas, then focus tutoring sessions on those gaps. Once you've built stronger content knowledge, full-length practice tests become valuable for strategy refinement and building stamina.
The most effective approach is to take a practice exam, review your incorrect answers with your tutor to understand why you missed them (not just the right answer), and refine your test-taking approach. This turns practice exams into learning tools rather than just assessments.
Absolutely. Failing the FS Exam once is actually valuable because it shows you exactly where your knowledge is weak—your score report breaks down performance by topic area. Personalized tutoring after a failed attempt is especially effective because you can laser-focus on the specific areas where you scored lowest rather than re-studying material you knew.
Most candidates who work with a tutor after a failed attempt pass on their second try. The key is identifying whether you struggled with content knowledge, test-taking strategy, or test anxiety—and addressing the root cause. A tutor can help you develop a targeted game plan so your next attempt is more successful.
