I’m a finance professional and experienced FINRA exam instructor with multiple years of hands-on experience teaching the SIE and Series 7. I’ve taught and coached 30+ students through structured classes and individualized sessions, helping candidates from non-finance backgrounds as well as experienced professionals successfully prepare for exam day. In my full-time role in wealth and investment management, I apply the same concepts tested on the SIE and Series 7—equities, fixed income, options, suitability, and regulations—on a daily basis. My teaching style focuses on clarity, exam strategy, and real-world intuition, breaking down complex material into simple, testable frameworks so students feel confident and prepared walking into the exam.

About Taylor
I’m a finance professional and FINRA exam instructor with experience teaching the SIE and Series 7 to candidates from a wide range of backgrounds. In my full-time role in wealth and investment management, I work daily with the same products and regulations covered on these exams, which allows me to teach the material in a practical, real-world way. I’ve spent the past several years helping students prepare for FINRA licensing through structured courses and one-on-one coaching, focusing on clarity, exam strategy, and confidence building. My approach is especially helpful for first-time test takers and career switchers who want a clear, guided path through the material rather than generic study advice.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I’ve seen how overwhelming FINRA exams can feel without proper guidance, especially for candidates who are new to finance or balancing studying with work. A structured approach and the right mentor can make a significant difference in both confidence and outcomes. Coaching allows me to help candidates move beyond memorization and truly understand the material, while also learning how FINRA tests concepts. I enjoy helping clients gain confidence, reduce anxiety around the exam, and walk into test day feeling prepared and in control.
