Varsity Tutors has the resources to help you get started with a private Seattle CFA tutor or online courses that can help you when preparing for this important accreditation examination. Whether you want to start your career in corporate finance, risk management, or another emphasis, anyone can benefit from formal test preparation. The CFA is an exam that covers material and concepts that you learned while studying finances and investments at schools like the University of Washington, Seattle Pacific University, or another local program. Regardless of whether you want an online private tutor or course, a guided review for this exam can help you feel more confident and help you practice test-taking strategies relevant specifically to the CFA exam.
What material will be covered during Seattle CFA prep?
The CFA, or Chartered Financial Analyst, is split up into three Levels that conclude in granting accreditation in financial investment analysis and management. While each Level does increase in difficulty, all three Levels focus on the same ten topic areas. These topics include but are not limited to financial reporting and analysis, ethical and professional standards, and more. Not only will you be tested on the standards and procedures associated with investing while being accredited by the CFA Institute, but also on professional client interactions that depend upon their unique financial situations and needs.
In addition to covering important concepts and materials about finances and investments, it is equally important to be knowledgeable about the format of the exam. Each of the three Levels for this exam are sequential, so you must pass the first in order to move on to the second and then third. Each Level is assessed on a "pass" or "did not pass" result as opposed to having incorrect answers count against a final score. Additionally, each of the three Levels are structured into both morning and afternoon sessions, so this test does take a sizeable number of total hours. The types of questions on each level of the exam do vary from multiple choice, vignette questions, essay questions, and others.
How can Seattle CFA prep benefit me?
Varsity Tutors provides two options to help you prepare for the CFA exam: private tutoring and online courses. You can choose one or both options depending on your academic and scheduling needs. Each option can have its own benefits, and regardless of which one you choose, you can find a qualified, professional instructor who can help you prepare for each level of this exam. Let's look at the benefits of each option.
If a more collaborative environment is the best approach for deepening your understanding about investments, a Seattle CFA prep class might work best for you. This virtual option allows you to attend class with the instructor and your peers from anywhere you have your computer and an internet connection. It also boasts interactive features such as an online whiteboard and video chat using our Live Learning Platform. This interaction brings the physical interaction of a classroom right to your computer. Being able to interact with peers in a collaborative environment can help deepen conceptual understanding, and you can receive immediate answers to any questions you might have along the way. Your instructor is also available to schedule one-on-one time outside of class if you should need more guidance.
Private, online tutoring is also available if you feel like you require more one-on-one help from an instructor. When you work with an instructor individually, he or she can customize learning materials to fit your unique learning style such as using flashcards for visual learners or discussion for aural learners. In addition, the instructor can work at your pace to develop your understanding of the material without worrying about having to meet specific deadlines associated with covering material within a specific timeframe. Plus, you get the added benefit of personalized feedback as you develop your understanding of finances, economics, and investments.

Brad: Seattle CFA test prep instructor
I enjoy helping students learn material in a way they can remember and apply in future coursework.... Perseverance trumps brilliance every time. Ask questions and work hard, and there's nothing you won't be able to understand.... I would begin by asking a few questions to see where a student is. I would then provide a useful note sheet and go over a refresher of some of the concepts we would be focusing on.
