Lisa
College English Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am a graduate of Kent State University with a Bachelors of Science in Secondary Education, majoring in English and Theater. I also graduated from The National Shakespeare Conservatory's two-year actor training program, and studied acting at London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts and completed the Screenwriting program at New York University. Originally from the Cleveland area, I have been in New York for more than 20 years, working extensively in the entertainment and legal industries. I teach acting, voice, and movement to teens and adults, having worked at CUNY's York College in Queens, Manhattan's Breakthrough Studios, as well as private instruction. I did employee training and evaluation in the legal industry for 15 years, and currently provide contract services to companies upgrading their computer systems. While I tutor a broad rangeof subjects, I am most passionate about acting and writing. People are more creative and expressive than they give themselves credit for, and I love helping a student of any age discover that they do, in fact, have what it takes for acting, public speaking, writing, or any other form of creative expression. My approach starts with what the student already knows, and then pushes her or him outside of the comfort zone to discover previously unrealized creativity. This approach works well in other subject areas also, helping students to think outside the box and use creative problem solving abilities for subjects not traditionally thought of as "creative." In my spare time I enjoy writing screenplays, playing my ukulele (I have two of them!) and performing with my friends at karaoke.
Angel
Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects
I am pursuing a B.S. in Mathematics at Indiana University Southeast. I have 10 years of unofficial tutoring experience and 5 years of official tutoring/teaching experience.I thoroughly enjoy helping others learn and see their true potential. By giving a student the support, encouragement, resources, and information to excel, I hope to make a positive difference in such a way that will allow them to take that information and apply to other areas in life, so that they may succeed and achieve whatever personal or academic goals they have set out for themselves.As I finish my last year in college, I have realized a few common characteristics that make the human condition a beautiful concept if given the right perspective. The first is that all people are unique and individual in their own right. No one person or student is like the other. We all think differently, learn differently, apply ourselves differently, and try to adapt to the ever changing world around us differently. The same concept can be said for learning. It is in the individual and unique approach that each student has when it comes to learning something challenging or new that I take the most pride in being apart of. I realize that as a teacher or tutor I am no more than a tiny fraction of the greater picture for a student's current and future life. However, I do not take that tiny fraction for granted.As a tutor I try to do everything within my ability to help a student excel in their academic life as a means to helping them excel in other areas of their life. If I can be just a tiny yet positive and supportive fraction of the bigger picture that makes each and every student I work with so beautiful and valuable regardless of where they start or what walk of life they come from, then I have done my job as a tutor and mentor.Secondly, I have realized that everyone makes mistakes. In school, making mistakes is a fundamental part of learning. Not only do these mistakes help us to define areas in which we need improvement, but they also allow us, as a collective body of self propelled learners, to truly appreciate a concept once it is understood. Mistakes, whether in school or in our personal life do not by any means define us. What does define us however is our attitude and approach to how we respond to these mistakes. I truly believe that by encouraging the student to be unafraid to make mistakes when learning something new, the student will then begin to see a problem from a more objective perspective and will allow themselves to slowly but surely embrace subjects, concepts, and challenges that they might not have otherwise approached or felt competent at out of fear of making a mistake. If we never make mistakes then we never learn.In addition to realizing mistakes are valuable and necessary lessons, I have learned that grades are not everything. Though grades, especially in today's society, are very important, they do not define an academic student. In my opinion, it is more important that a student at the very least progresses from where they originated from. For example, say a student truly knows the information but on the day of the test they always seem to space out or go blank. But, if you ask the same student in casual conversation about a subject when they aren't being graded and evaluated, chances are they will be able to relay accurate and insightful information. It could be the case that this student has test anxiety or may not be good test takers, which is okay! In such cases, this often means that a student may have to learn how to take a specific test versus what is on the test. But it would be an unfair representation of that student to simply say that just because their test grades do not reflect test expectations, that they are thus not knowledgeable about the subject at hand. In all, grades are a very small percentage of what makes a student a studious and hard working student.In conjunction, everyone learns at a different rate. Some students are slower learners than others. That does not mean that they are any less intelligent than the student who turned in the assignment first or raised their hand first. I have observed, even of myself, that slow learners simply learn a subject at a deeper level than those who appear to be quick to understand a concept. Often though, once they grasp the concept, they are capable of retaining it for longer periods of time that those who are faster to learn a concept. Though this is a generalization, it is an important one to understand in the sense that just because you need or want a tutor does not mean that you as a student are any less valuable or intelligent than those who may not need a tutor.Whether it be a small concept such as learning how to count by two's or a more abstract concept such as learning why a formula works the way it does, once that understanding of such concept has been achieved you can use that knowledge to help better not only your grades but hopefully other areas in your life as well. As a tutor, I tailor my teaching techniques to match the student's rate at which they learn, with the goal that as they begin to understand the material, the rate at which it is applied becomes easier for the student through time and practice.I sincerely look forward to working with each and every student I encounter, as I believe that each student, is uniquely intelligent and worthy of the satisfaction that is achieved when one reaches their individual academic goals and objectives.

NCLEX Tutor • +4 Subjects
I have been a licensed nurse for 9 years and a registered nurse for 2 years. I graduated in May of 2020 from Delaware County Community College. I currently work as a transplant case manager, and am back in school to obtain my BSN by way of Chamberlain University. As a former and current student, I am well versed in NCLEX , NCLEX prep, test taking skills, building good study habits and how to stay organized. I have taken the NCLEX twice , once for my LPN and once for my RN. I passed both tests on the first attempt. I do not consider myself a genius, but I know how to study and how to answer test questions to pass just about any test, even when you don't know the answer. I know the stress of test taking. I am most passionate about teaching study tools, habits and organization to pass the NCLEX. Let me help you on your journey in pursuing all your goals.
Alex
Business Tutor • +8 Subjects
I was born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, and went to high school at Montgomery Bell Academy. I completed my Bachelor of Business Administration dual major degree at University of Georgia in the International Business and Finance with a minor in Spanish in May 2015. As evidenced by my majors, I have a passion for international business, having experienced the geo-political and economic landscape via overseas educational opportunities. This unique perspective has broadened my academic horizons and personal development to areas far outside the classroom, equipping me with valuable skills in today’s increasingly global environment.My international interests and travels have instilled the ability to learn and adapt quickly, as well as apply knowledge and language skills effectively and efficiently. In addition to the completion of my Spanish minor, an educational trip to Costa Rica and summer classes in Spain have provided me with communication skills and a thorough understanding of different cultures.My qualified experience includes an internship with a premier real estate fund manager that has proved crucial to my development in areas of finance, and business organizations, organizational delegation and personal responsibility. Additionally, my internship with US Congressman Jim Cooper greatly expanded my knowledge and perspective of current affairs both domestic and abroad, and how they affect our national policies. Finally, 80 hours of tutoring experience in many different subjects at the Boys and Girls Club in Athens, GA has sparked my interest in motivating, teaching, and mentoring students from 8-18 years old.I am confident that my academic experiences and qualifications in Finance, Spanish and International Business have provided me with a unique opportunity and skill-set that I can pass on to others in a way that is easy to understand for students of all ages.

James Spencer
10th Grade Math Tutor • +35 Subjects
I love math and I love science. Math and science are two areas of study that I take pride in knowing. They are the study of the world around us and how it works to the most minute detail. That fascinates me. So much so that I achieved a Bachelor of Science Degree in chemistry. It is my goal to put this same kind of passion, drive and excitement in all those around me. I hope that I will one day nerd out on math and science with all my students!

Algebra Tutor • +5 Subjects
I graduated from California State University, Dominguez Hills with a Bachelor's in Mathematics and Pepperdine University with a Master's in Education.I currently teach high school math and I have tutored students throughout the school year.I mainly tutor students in Algebra 1 and Geometry. However, my favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 1 because I find that this is the subject that students usually have a harder time with.I try my best to teach students step by step on how to solve problems. I break it down so they can have a better understanding of the concepts.Outside of tutoring, I like to run and exercise. I like to go shopping and enjoy spending time with my friends and family.

Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a second year student at the University of Texas at Austin majoring in neuroscience, with minors in computer science and creative writing. I am on the pre-med track, with hopes of working internationally with nonprofits as a doctor. I am involved in tutoring programs such as Students Expanding Austin Literacy and The Education Project, the first of which is in person tutoring and the latter being online instruction. I love working on a wide variety of tutoring subjects, but specifically the sciences and english subjects. I find that it's very important to help students deeply understand questions in a way that works for them best! I believe that learning for learning's sake will help anyone get where they want to go in life.

ACT Writing Tutor • +48 Subjects
As a QuestBridge Scholar and an undergraduate biomedical engineering student at Northwestern University in Evanston, IL, I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

Frequently Asked Questions
Many nursing students struggle with the exam's unique question format, particularly NCLEX-style multiple-choice and select-all-that-apply questions that require critical thinking rather than simple recall. Time management is another major challenge—the exam can take up to 6 hours, and many test-takers run out of stamina or spend too much time on individual questions. Additionally, students often find it difficult to apply classroom knowledge to clinical scenarios, and may feel anxious about high-stakes testing after years of nursing school. Personalized NCLEX-RN tutoring addresses these specific obstacles by focusing on test-taking strategy, clinical application, and building confidence through targeted practice.
The first-attempt pass rate for the NCLEX-RN is approximately 87-90% nationally for recent nursing school graduates. However, this varies by school and preparation quality. Many students who don't pass on the first try struggle with specific content areas or test-taking strategies rather than overall nursing knowledge. Working with a tutor who specializes in NCLEX-RN preparation can help identify knowledge gaps, strengthen weak areas, and teach strategic approaches to answering difficult questions—significantly improving your chances of passing on the first attempt.
Nursing school coursework focuses on foundational knowledge and clinical skills across diverse topics, while NCLEX-RN tutoring is laser-focused on what the exam actually tests and how to answer those specific question types. A personalized tutor can identify your individual weak areas—whether that's pharmacology, leadership, or applying the nursing process—and create a targeted study plan rather than reviewing everything equally. Additionally, NCLEX tutoring emphasizes test-taking strategy, time management, and the reasoning behind correct answers, which classroom instruction often doesn't have time to address. This personalized approach means you study smarter, not just longer.
The best NCLEX-RN tutors combine deep nursing knowledge with proven test-preparation expertise. They should understand the exam's blueprint, question formats, and the clinical reasoning it tests. Equally important is the ability to explain complex concepts clearly, identify your specific knowledge gaps, and teach you how to strategically approach different question types. A great tutor also stays current with NCLEX changes and uses practice exams effectively to build your confidence. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who specialize in NCLEX-RN preparation and can create a personalized study plan tailored to your learning style and timeline.
Most nursing graduates benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused NCLEX-RN preparation, though the ideal timeline depends on your nursing school performance, content strengths, and how much time you can dedicate to studying. Students who completed nursing school with strong grades in clinical courses may need less time, while those who struggled in certain areas may benefit from longer, more intensive preparation. Working with a personalized tutor can actually condense your study timeline by helping you focus only on areas where you need improvement, rather than reviewing content you've already mastered. Many students find that even 6-12 weeks of structured, one-on-one tutoring before test day makes a measurable difference in their confidence and performance.
Absolutely. Pharmacology, pathophysiology, medical-surgical nursing, and other specific content areas are common pain points for NCLEX test-takers. Personalized tutoring allows you to dive deep into whichever topics challenge you most, whether that's understanding drug mechanisms, recognizing disease processes, or applying nursing interventions to clinical scenarios. Rather than trying to review everything broadly, a tutor can help you build mastery in weak areas through targeted explanations, practice questions, and clinical application. This focused approach is far more effective than attempting to re-learn entire courses on your own.
NCLEX questions test clinical judgment and reasoning, not just knowledge recall—and many students haven't practiced enough with this question format before test day. Expert tutors teach you how to analyze NCLEX-style questions (multiple-choice, multiple-response, drag-and-drop, and case studies), eliminate wrong answers strategically, and recognize what the test is actually asking. They use practice exams and real NCLEX questions to help you identify patterns in your thinking and mistakes. Over time, this targeted practice builds both content mastery and test-taking confidence, so you can answer questions more quickly and accurately under pressure. Personalized instruction means the tutor can focus on your specific weaknesses rather than teaching generic test-taking tips.
