Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing
Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.
Samuel
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
The Series 44 exam covers complex topics like options strategies, market maker operations, and NYSE Arca-specific rules—material that requires both conceptual understanding and practical application. Many candidates struggle with the mathematical components, particularly probability calculations and risk management scenarios. Others find it difficult to retain the regulatory details and distinguish between similar concepts like spreads and straddles. Additionally, balancing exam preparation with full-time work can make it hard to maintain consistent study momentum and identify weak areas before test day.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to identify your specific knowledge gaps and create a targeted study plan rather than reviewing material you already understand. A tutor can break down complicated options strategies and market maker concepts into digestible pieces, explain the "why" behind regulatory rules, and provide real-world context that makes material stick. They can also simulate exam conditions with practice questions, provide immediate feedback on mistakes, and adjust pacing based on your progress—something self-study materials can't do. This focused approach typically reduces study time while increasing retention and confidence.
An effective Series 44 tutor should have strong knowledge of options markets, exchange regulations, and the specific content covered on the NYSE Arca exam. Look for someone who can explain complex concepts clearly and patiently, ask diagnostic questions to pinpoint your weak areas, and provide structured feedback on practice exams. It's also valuable if they have experience helping other candidates pass the Series 44 and understand common misconceptions. Most importantly, find a tutor who can adapt their teaching style to match how you learn best—whether that's through visual explanations, scenario-based problems, or detailed walkthroughs of regulatory language.
Most candidates need 4-8 weeks of consistent preparation to feel ready for the Series 44 exam, though this varies based on prior experience with options markets and regulatory material. Those with a background in options trading or securities regulations may need less time, while those new to these topics may benefit from additional weeks. Working with a tutor can help you make more efficient use of study time by focusing on high-impact concepts first and avoiding the trial-and-error phase of self-study. The key is consistent, focused preparation rather than cramming—spreading study sessions throughout your prep timeline helps with long-term retention of regulatory details and complex calculations.
The Series 44 exam requires a score of 70% or higher to pass. With focused tutoring and consistent effort, most candidates see measurable improvement in their understanding of options strategies, market maker responsibilities, and NYSE Arca rules—often translating to 10-20 percentage point increases on practice exams. Beyond the score, tutoring helps you develop deep knowledge of the material rather than surface-level memorization, which serves you well in your actual role as a market maker. Personalized instruction also builds the confidence and exam-taking strategies needed to perform your best on test day, reducing anxiety and improving your ability to manage time across all exam sections.
The Series 44 exam focuses on several key areas: options market fundamentals and strategies (calls, puts, spreads, straddles, and other multi-leg positions), market maker operations and responsibilities, risk management and position monitoring, trading rules and best execution practices, and NYSE Arca-specific regulations and procedures. The exam also covers margin requirements, customer protection rules, and compliance obligations for market makers. A tutor can help you master each content area with targeted practice, ensuring you understand not just the definitions but how these concepts apply in real market-making scenarios.
The Series 44 is a computer-based exam consisting of multiple-choice questions that test your knowledge across options markets, market maker operations, and regulatory requirements. The exam requires both conceptual understanding and the ability to apply that knowledge to realistic scenarios. A tutor can help you become comfortable with the exam format by providing practice tests under timed conditions, teaching you how to approach different question types, and helping you develop strategies for managing time and avoiding careless mistakes. Regular practice with expert feedback ensures you're not just learning the material but also developing the test-taking skills needed to perform confidently on exam day.
