I take pride in my own academic education and strive to inspire others feel the same. I am a strong believer in the power of education, and understand that we can all use a little extra help to achieve our goals. I feel my experience working in varied environments has enabled me to develop a range of practical skills and allows me to be able to relate to students of all ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds. As someone who also receives tutoring, I completely understand how difficult and frustrating learning can be at times. I believe this perspective allows me to really be able to engage with my students. Lastly, my ability to motivate and inspire others is a very significant contribution that I am confident I can bring to the course and into the classroom.
Natalie
Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
I'm a 4th year college student at Stony Brook University working towards a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and a minor in writing and rhetoric. I love helping other students enjoy what they are learning by providing support as a tutor! Students who struggle in their academics often just need a role model who can focus on their individual learning style and encourage them to utilize it -- which is who I try to be each day. My goal for my students is for them to see past the challenges and enjoy the process of learning. I have over 2 years' experience tutoring kids in grades K-12 in math, science, English, and test prep, as well as helping fellow college students in biology, math, and chemistry. Examples of my expertise include teaching a class at an SAT prep center, private tutoring for K-12 both in-person and online, serving as head teaching assistant for college-level biology, and working as a chemistry peer tutor for other students at my university. I use a wide range of virtual games, arts and crafts, physical activity, virtual simulations, and real-world problems to make tutoring sessions engaging and appropriate to age level. As someone who wants to pursue research and teaching as a career, I believe quality, accessible education can have a huge positive impact on people's wellbeing and development.

Hello, my name is Vaibhav Sharma and I am a recent graduate of the University of Pittsburgh. I majored in neuroscience and chemistry and while I was in college I spent my time volunteering at local hospitals and researching novel neuroscience techniques. I will attend medical school at Geisinger Commonwealth Medical College this fall. Having taken all of the science classes since high school, I know how daunting and hard science material might seem but if taken at a very fundamental level, it is much more logical and simpler than how many high school teachers or college professors make it seem. Thats how I approach tutoring my clients. I try to use practical examples on how the science principles come into play in the real world.

Laura
Elementary School Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a certified Elementary Teacher. I graduated from Brigham Young University and have been teaching for 3 years. I have taught 4th grade and 6th grade, and I have volunteered in 1st, 2nd, and 5th grade classes as well. I love helping students learn. My favorite part about teaching is helping students understand a concept that they've been struggling with by explaining it in a new way. I love teaching math, especially algebra. I also love to read in my spare time, and I strive to pass on that love of reading to my students. I enjoy helping them learn to decode and comprehend, because those are the things that make reading enjoyable! In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, baking, and watching sports.
Myron
American Literature Tutor • +18 Subjects
I graduated from Washington State University. My major was Sociology with a minor in Human Development. Later, I became a teacher to assist students with learning disabilities. My biggest revelation was that everyone learns differently.I help struggling students find their learning style and apply it. The process may not be pretty but progress is made . One strategy is "no opting out". Students work on a assignment despite believing they cannot complete it.My approach to tutoring is two-fold for students in elementary school to high school. They must practice skills and learning strategies. This approach does not accommodate college students because of the academic workload. For them, our sessions are project-based. I cover all aspects of an assignment, including examples or critique completed projects.I now focus on entrepreneurial education and S.T.E.M. The subjects that I tutor are: English, Language Arts and Basic Math to Pre-Algebra. I look forward to unleashing the learning potential of future clients.

AP United States History Tutor • +20 Subjects
With a background in cognition based studies, I'd personally be obliged to teach you or your child what I know! Considering that many people go through intense stress in order to succeed in the school system these days, I'd be a refreshing back-seat approach to hopefully engage you or your young learner in the material involved. What is this 'back-seat' approach? The back seat approach is a method of going through material but rather than set strict quotas for a student. I work with the student to help them with whatever problem they may have. It works because the student doesn't realize that they are being guided in the long run, but gradually the student may become more adept to the material. And surely, after a few weeks of tutoring, the processes to solve a particular dilemma, the steps would become second nature to the student.As I am comfortable with anything from Biology to History, and from Arithmetic to Algebra, and even English Reading and Composition (writing), I believe I am a great pick if you are looking for a tutor with a well rounded understanding and approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
The Series 15 exam has a pass rate around 70-75%, but many candidates struggle with their first attempt due to the technical nature of foreign currency derivatives and options pricing models. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify your specific weak areas—whether that's understanding volatility, strike prices, or hedging strategies—and focus study time where you need it most. This targeted approach typically leads to faster mastery than self-study or group preparation courses.
Most candidates struggle with three core areas: (1) complex options pricing calculations and Greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega), (2) understanding foreign exchange markets and currency pair mechanics, and (3) applying hedging strategies to real-world scenarios. Additionally, the exam tests regulatory requirements and compliance rules that vary by situation, which requires careful attention to detail. Personalized tutoring helps break down these interconnected concepts so you understand not just the mechanics, but the reasoning behind them.
Most candidates can prepare for the Series 15 in 4-8 weeks of focused study, though this varies based on your background in finance and options trading. Candidates with prior Series 7 or Series 65 experience often move faster, while those new to derivatives may need longer. A tutor can create a customized timeline based on your current knowledge, schedule, and exam date—and adjust the pace as you progress through material.
Standard prep courses follow a fixed curriculum at a set pace, which works for some candidates but leaves others behind or bored. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor adapts explanations to your learning style, spends extra time on your challenging topics, and skips over material you already know. You also get immediate feedback on practice problems, can ask questions without hesitation, and receive customized study strategies. This flexibility means you're not wasting time on content you've mastered and can accelerate through difficult sections.
Top Series 15 tutors combine deep expertise in options pricing theory, foreign exchange markets, and compliance regulations with the ability to explain complex derivatives concepts clearly. They should have real-world experience in currency options trading or financial analysis, understand common mistakes candidates make, and know how to break down intimidating material into digestible pieces. Just as importantly, they should be patient, flexible with your schedule, and skilled at identifying exactly where you're getting stuck—then finding multiple ways to explain it until it clicks.
The Series 15 focuses on foreign currency options, including: options fundamentals (calls, puts, in-the-money/out-of-the-money), Greeks and risk measures, pricing models and valuation techniques, foreign exchange spot and forward markets, hedging strategies, regulatory requirements, and risk management. The exam also tests your ability to analyze scenarios and determine appropriate trading strategies. A tutor helps you master each topic systematically and understand how they connect—for example, how currency volatility affects option premiums or how to hedge FX exposure with options.
With consistent personalized tutoring, most candidates develop strong command of options mechanics and foreign exchange markets, gain confidence solving complex pricing problems, and learn to apply hedging strategies to realistic scenarios. You'll move from feeling overwhelmed by derivatives concepts to understanding the reasoning behind them. The ultimate outcome is being well-prepared and confident on exam day—equipped with both the knowledge and the test-taking skills to pass.
