When you are searching for a SIE Exam Tutor, or a Series 7 Tutor, you should carefully evaluate their experience.

​

Also, while searching for Series 65 Tutors, I would avoid the following two companies: Wyzant and especially Varsity Tutors.

​

When you hire Varsity Tutors for the Series 65 Exam or the SIE Exam, they often require you make a large up front commitment in excess of $1,000 and they make you sign a contract. You should never have to sign a contract when hiring a Series 65 Tutor.  Also, Varsity does not pay their Series 65 Tutors or other licensing exam tutors all that much, which is a problem.  One student who I worked with had previously used Varsity had a tutor who tried to sell him his notes.  

​

Wyzant is not much better but at least they do not make you sign a contract.  The issue with Wyzant is that they take 25% of a Series 65 Tutor's compensation, which can result in the tutor treating the client differently from other clients. 

​

Something else to consider when hiring a Series 65 Tutor would be tutor's materials.   Does the tutor have any materials to use during a meeting?   The Series 65 Tutor should have proprietary materials and should also be familiar with the materials of the major prep providers.  

​

Finally, never hire a Series 65 Tutor or tutor for any exam based on a money back guarantee if you do not pass. Money back guarantees are popular marketing techniques designed to sell products.
