I have twenty five years plus teaching at the RN level at a community college. Nursing students love the use of interactive creative teaching strategies to learn and master critical nursing content in preparation for exams and clinical practice. I am a mastered prepared nurse educator. Passing nursing exams is not just about what you learned in nursing school -- it is about how you think. With expert critical thinking strategies and targeted practice, I can show you how to leverage your nursing content knowledge to think like a nurse to be successful on nursing exams.

My method of teaching and review is to use active creative teaching methods to remember critical concepts required to be successful in clinical and on exams. I work with students by providing a variety of examples and test questions until the student understands the concept. I provide students with questions and show them how to break the question down to clearly understand what the stem of the question is asking and then review why each a answer chosen is correct or incorrect. Students are required to come to a review session prepared to work and to demonstrate that they have studied the material. I begin the review session with asking the student to review their written list of questions about content that is confusing and needs clarification. Once these questions have been answered move on to questions about this content to make sure it has been clearly mastered. At the end of each lesson a five minute review of the lesson is provided and a written plan for the next lesson is established and agreed upon in order to maximize tutoring time.

Nurses are a very valuable member of society that will be needed for many years. I do not review to just exam mastery but also review to critical concepts that are needed to be successful in a variety of clinical settings. My areas of expertise are fundamentals and medical surgical nursing.

Patient, organized, and an energetic tutor

I have learned a lot from Pamela and every tutor session is well organized. She brings a lot of energy to her sessions, it’s always interesting and she is very patient! If you’re looking for an NCLEX tutor I would highly suggest Pamela.

NCLEX

I cannot recommend her enough! After two unsuccessful attempts at the NCLEX, I was feeling discouraged and doubting myself, but she was truly a blessing throughout this process. She provided me with so many helpful resources and materials, explained things in ways that finally made sense, and helped me build the confidence I needed to go into my third attempt believing in myself. She was so supportive, encouraging, and patient every step of the way. Beyond being an amazing tutor, she was such a bright light during one of the most stressful and difficult times in my life. She reminded me that I was capable of achieving my goal even when I struggled to believe it myself. Thanks to her guidance and support, I finally passed my NCLEX on my third try! I am so incredibly grateful for everything she did for me, and I would recommend her to anyone preparing for the NCLEX. If you are feeling overwhelmed or discouraged, she is the person you want in your corner! ❤️

THE BEST!!!

I am SO thankful for Pam and the amazing help she provided me! After failing my NCLEX twice, I didn’t know what to do. I was stuck and at a really low place in my life. I met with Pam and immediately knew she’d be the person to help me get through this! She’s very knowledgeable and makes hard topics EASY. She explains things in ways that STICK. Every call she was positive, encouraging, kind, and made sure I was 100% ready going into my third attempt! I am officially a registered nurse and I cannot thank Pam enough! If you’re feeling stuck, need content review, prioritization help, or encouragement, she’s your girl!!!!!

A blessing..

After going from tutor to tutor—some who wouldn’t tutor me or refund my money because they assumed I was ready, and others who simply didn’t have the schedule I needed—I found Pamela. Within just four weeks, Pamela was able to identify exactly what I needed to improve and gave me the guidance, structure, and encouragement I needed to stay on track. I’m so happy and proud to say that after those four weeks, I am officially a Licensed Practical Nurse! 🩷👩🏽‍⚕️🎓 Thank you, Pamela, for believing in me when I needed it most, seeing my potential, and giving me the tools and guidance I needed to succeed. Your support made such a difference in my journey, and I will forever be grateful! 💕🙏🏽 I didn’t give up—and now I can finally say, I DID IT! LPN! 👩🏽‍⚕️💗

Caring, helpful, knowledgeable

After going to 150 on the NCLEX and failing, I was looking for a tutor to help me. I stumbled upon reviews for Pamela, and they were great and very encouraging to read. I decided to give her a shot, and I am so thankful that I did. We met 4 times (once a week) and she helped tremendously. There is just so much information that can be tested on that it overwhelmed me. Pamela helped me digest and know the pertinent information. I passed in 85 questions on my second attempt and am now a new grad in the ICU! If you are looking for a tutor, go with Pamela!!!! I can’t recommend her enough!

Amazing Medsurg tutor

Pam has truly made a huge difference in my success. I was really struggling in Med-Surg and honestly didn’t think I would pass. Once I started working with her, my understanding improved and my grades increased significantly. She explains things clearly, is incredibly patient, and genuinely cares about her students. I truly could not have done it without her- she’s the best!

Beyond thankful for her <3

Pam was a true life saver for me. After taking my NCLEX the first time and not being successful, I was devastated. I felt alone and had no idea where to start because clearly my way of preparing was not working. I have always struggled with school and had tutors, so I figured I would give Wyzant a try. To be honest, I was doubtful. But as soon I signed up, I had a lot of tutors that I reached out to and either it didn't seem right or our schedules didn't align. Then Pam's profile popped up. I loved Pams background and teaching method, so I had a good feeling that she was the tutor for me. Our first night meeting, I was terrified. Pam made me feel so comfortable and gave me the guidance in becoming successful. Pam gave me structure and that was what I needed most, along with confidence. We met twice a week for 4 weeks; up until I scheduled my exam. We went through my CPR and she knew exactly what areas that I needed assistance with. She gave "homework" and things to be completed before each session. I would show her my results from my practice exams and we would go through topics that weren't clicking or what I was struggling with. Before I knew it, it was time for my second attempt. I met with Pam the night before and she was by biggest cheerleader. I was terrified lol. But she talked me down and was able to make me feel comfortable. Pam was the first one I called after the exam. She was also the first person I called after I got my quick results showing the 4 words that I was manifesting the past month "PASS". I am starting a new grad position in the ED next week, and I plan on meeting with Pam when going though different courses or classes that I am going to be going though. For anyone who is looking for a NCLEX tutor, Pam will be my number 1 recommendation every time. She was exactly what I needed. I can not thank her enough. Pam is a great person, nurse educator, and friend. She will give her 100% to you and will do anything she can for you to be successful. Thank you Pam<3

Knowledgable and valuable test taking strategies

Ms. Pamela is an excellent tutor. She is very energetic and knowledgable. She provides valuable resources that can help you understand the topics you are covering as well as offer great test taking strategies. These strategies allow you to critically think and provide insight on what "key words" to look for in an exam. Overall, amazing instructor.
