I know that it is often difficult to get through a course or an exam. I also know that each student has individual strengths and weaknesses.

I'm an experienced attorney and have taught in a (college) classroom setting and on a one-to-one basis.

Anatomy Tutor • +29 Subjects

I take pride in my own academic education and strive to inspire others feel the same. I am a strong believer in the power of education, and understand that we can all use a little extra help to achieve our goals. I feel my experience working in varied environments has enabled me to develop a range of practical skills and allows me to be able to relate to students of all ages, abilities, and cultural backgrounds. As someone who also receives tutoring, I completely understand how difficult and frustrating learning can be at times. I believe this perspective allows me to really be able to engage with my students. Lastly, my ability to motivate and inspire others is a very significant contribution that I am confident I can bring to the course and into the classroom.

Natalie

Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

I'm a 4th year college student at Stony Brook University working towards a bachelor's degree in biochemistry and a minor in writing and rhetoric. I love helping other students enjoy what they are learning by providing support as a tutor! Students who struggle in their academics often just need a role model who can focus on their individual learning style and encourage them to utilize it -- which is who I try to be each day. My goal for my students is for them to see past the challenges and enjoy the process of learning. I have over 2 years' experience tutoring kids in grades K-12 in math, science, English, and test prep, as well as helping fellow college students in biology, math, and chemistry. Examples of my expertise include teaching a class at an SAT prep center, private tutoring for K-12 both in-person and online, serving as head teaching assistant for college-level biology, and working as a chemistry peer tutor for other students at my university. I use a wide range of virtual games, arts and crafts, physical activity, virtual simulations, and real-world problems to make tutoring sessions engaging and appropriate to age level. As someone who wants to pursue research and teaching as a career, I believe quality, accessible education can have a huge positive impact on people's wellbeing and development.

Vaibhav

Algebra Tutor • +56 Subjects

Hello, my name is Vaibhav Sharma and I am a recent graduate of the University of Pittsburgh. I majored in neuroscience and chemistry and while I was in college I spent my time volunteering at local hospitals and researching novel neuroscience techniques. I will attend medical school at Geisinger Commonwealth Medical College this fall. Having taken all of the science classes since high school, I know how daunting and hard science material might seem but if taken at a very fundamental level, it is much more logical and simpler than how many high school teachers or college professors make it seem. Thats how I approach tutoring my clients. I try to use practical examples on how the science principles come into play in the real world.

Laura

Elementary School Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a certified Elementary Teacher. I graduated from Brigham Young University and have been teaching for 3 years. I have taught 4th grade and 6th grade, and I have volunteered in 1st, 2nd, and 5th grade classes as well. I love helping students learn. My favorite part about teaching is helping students understand a concept that they've been struggling with by explaining it in a new way. I love teaching math, especially algebra. I also love to read in my spare time, and I strive to pass on that love of reading to my students. I enjoy helping them learn to decode and comprehend, because those are the things that make reading enjoyable! In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, baking, and watching sports.

Myron

American Literature Tutor • +18 Subjects

I graduated from Washington State University. My major was Sociology with a minor in Human Development. Later, I became a teacher to assist students with learning disabilities. My biggest revelation was that everyone learns differently.I help struggling students find their learning style and apply it. The process may not be pretty but progress is made . One strategy is "no opting out". Students work on a assignment despite believing they cannot complete it.My approach to tutoring is two-fold for students in elementary school to high school. They must practice skills and learning strategies. This approach does not accommodate college students because of the academic workload. For them, our sessions are project-based. I cover all aspects of an assignment, including examples or critique completed projects.I now focus on entrepreneurial education and S.T.E.M. The subjects that I tutor are: English, Language Arts and Basic Math to Pre-Algebra. I look forward to unleashing the learning potential of future clients.

Reilly

AP United States History Tutor • +20 Subjects

With a background in cognition based studies, I'd personally be obliged to teach you or your child what I know! Considering that many people go through intense stress in order to succeed in the school system these days, I'd be a refreshing back-seat approach to hopefully engage you or your young learner in the material involved. What is this 'back-seat' approach? The back seat approach is a method of going through material but rather than set strict quotas for a student. I work with the student to help them with whatever problem they may have. It works because the student doesn't realize that they are being guided in the long run, but gradually the student may become more adept to the material. And surely, after a few weeks of tutoring, the processes to solve a particular dilemma, the steps would become second nature to the student.As I am comfortable with anything from Biology to History, and from Arithmetic to Algebra, and even English Reading and Composition (writing), I believe I am a great pick if you are looking for a tutor with a well rounded understanding and approach.

Frequently Asked Questions

The NCLEX-PN pass rate for first-time test takers is approximately 85-90%, though this varies by school and preparation method. Personalized 1-on-1 instruction focuses on your specific weak areas—whether that's pharmacology, patient safety, or clinical judgment—rather than generic review. This targeted approach helps you master foundational concepts and apply them to complex scenarios, which is critical for passing the exam on your first attempt.

Most nursing candidates spend 3-6 weeks preparing for the NCLEX-PN, though this varies based on your background and comfort with the material. A tutor can work with you to assess your current knowledge, identify gaps, and create a personalized study schedule that fits your timeline. They'll also help you prioritize high-yield content and practice strategies so you use your study time efficiently.

Many test takers struggle with pharmacology, complex dosage calculations, and applying clinical judgment to unfamiliar scenarios. Others find it challenging to manage test anxiety or interpret heavily worded questions. Personalized instruction allows tutors to focus on these specific pain points—whether that's drilling medication interactions, practicing math problems, or working through critical thinking strategies—so you feel confident tackling any question type on test day.

Practice questions are essential—they familiarize you with the exam format, help you identify weak areas, and build test stamina. The key is using them strategically: working through questions, reviewing both correct and incorrect answers, and understanding the reasoning behind each option. A tutor can guide you through this process, helping you extract maximum learning from each practice question and avoid common test-taking mistakes rather than simply drilling hundreds of questions without reflection.

An excellent NCLEX-PN tutor should have recent nursing experience, understand current exam formats and content updates, and be skilled at explaining complex concepts clearly. They should also excel at identifying your learning style and adapting their teaching approach, as well as helping you develop test-taking strategies beyond just content review. Look for someone who focuses on critical thinking and clinical application—not just memorization—since the NCLEX-PN emphasizes safe nursing practice.

In classroom settings, instruction moves at a fixed pace and covers broad topics without deep customization. Personalized 1-on-1 tutoring lets you learn at your own speed, focus exclusively on areas where you need help, and get immediate feedback on your understanding. A tutor can also adapt their teaching style to match how you learn best—whether that's through visual diagrams, case studies, or practice problems—and provide accountability and motivation as you approach test day.

Most test takers who work with a tutor see significant improvements in their practice question scores, stronger grasp of difficult concepts like pharmacology and pathophysiology, and increased confidence in applying clinical judgment. Realistic outcomes include identifying and closing knowledge gaps, developing effective test-taking strategies, and reducing test anxiety. The timeline depends on your starting point and study commitment, but many candidates are ready for the exam within 4-8 weeks of personalized preparation.
