Man at his Desk

Pass your Securities exams on the first try.
No guesswork. No wasted hours of study.

Our small group prep classes are like no other. Instead of an uninspiring 100 person Zoom call with a lecturer jabbering away and cramming in as many topics as possible, we prioritize learning.

Class is conducted in a small and intimate setting where you think about the material, collaborate with your peers, ask questions and get answers right away, and receive feedback on your work multiple times per week.

Most importantly, we prepare you to pass the SIE and Series 7 exam on your first try.

Course Structure

Both Securities exam prep courses are broken into two distinct parts in order to properly prepare students to sit for the exam.

Part One

  • The first half of the class is dedicated to two purposes:

1. Learn the vocabulary
2. Learn the vocabulary’s basic application

  • I will walk you through the reading step-by-step and provide exercises that help you learn the vocabulary inside out. 

  • Only at this point can you move onto Part 2.

Part Two

  • The second half of the course has one purpose:
    Get you ready for the exam.

  • This will include three distinct phases:
    Open Book Phase, Closed Book Phase, and Exam Prep Stage.

  • I will show you how to dissect questions, problem solve, and translate your fundamental concepts into exam answers.

You are required to complete homework before each class. The class will also walk you through 3 Mock Exams, several mini-mock exams, several mini-case mock exams, and timed trials.

Course Schedule

Our Securities exam prep courses are scheduled to end just before the exam, giving you the guidance and confidence when you need it most.

It’s been almost 3 years now since I met Joe. He is now part of my family, and I owe him big time. He has helped me pass Series  7, 9, 10. I’ve introduced him to all the people I love, and they all give the same feedback: “Game changer."

I want to add that I never take the time to comment or give testimonials on experiences or products. I give this man a 10 out of 10 for holding me accountable and pushing/guiding me to get the test completed. If you fail a test using Joe it’s because you didn’t listen and follow his process.

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin. This quote couldn't be more true when I think of my experience and time with Joe. He offers a tailored yet thoughtful approach to tackling the material. He is not only passionate about teaching, he is dedicated to his students by ensuring they are involved in learning the material. He is invaluable and worth every penny spent! I have already recommended him to several friends and colleagues because he is that good! Not only did I find a great teacher, I found a friend for life!

I never considered myself the best test taker; however, I always took the exams and passed them. After multiple failed attempts with the SIE and Series 6, I was then introduced to Joe Nissim. He used a completely different approach to learning, and I fought it due to unfamiliarity.

I can proudly say that I have successfully passed my first exam and am working towards the next. Joe’s knowledge in this field is remarkable and I plan on working with him until I take my last exam for my career.

Joe is by far the best tutor I’ve ever encountered. His teaching method is super effective, with a focus on making sure to teach you how to take complex problems and make them appear simple. If you’re looking to pass an exam or a certification you don’t have to waste your time searching elsewhere, he is the real deal. Today, Joe is my friend, not just my tutor. I’m super thankful for the help Joe has provided, and I will continue to use him for future licenses.

I would describe Joe's style as fair, firm and consistent. He has the ability to break the content into small, bite-size pieces and make the complex simple. He will push and challenge you so that you walk into the testing center prepared and confident. His system works if you do. If you want to pass your next exam, working with Joe is a no brainer.

Simply put, he delivered and played a huge role in my ability to pass this exam.

Joe has the process and experience to help you pass. His ability to get you to focus on what matters most was impeccable.

Is This You?

I’ve answered 2,000 practice questions, but I still can’t seem to get the fundamentals.

I can’t seem to stick to a study schedule.

I get burned out just reading the book and watching videos.
