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.

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

Wonderful Tutor

Pamela has been extremely helpful. Since I started tutoring with her, she has helped me learn valuable skills to help expand my knowledge in nursing. She has also been fantastic about teaching me strategies that have helped so much on exams.

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.

A TRUE LIFESAVER AND AMAZING TUTOR

Pam is truly incredible! After failing the NCLEX twice, I felt completely lost and discouraged about how to move forward. I honestly started to believe that I might never become an RN. However, I was determined to keep trying, and I decided to find a tutor who could help me better understand how to approach the material and finally get on the right track. From the moment I met Pam, I knew I was in good hands. She encouraged me from the very beginning and reassured me that I could absolutely pass this exam. She introduced me to the actual NCLEX test plan, outlining the specific topics covered on the exam—something I had never even seen before. She provided me with so many different resources and practice questions on any topic that I had trouble with and would go over things as many times as I needed and never rushed the process. She allowed me to learn at my own pace, which was incredibly important for building my confidence and understanding. After I started working with her, my practice test scores improved tremendously, reaching their highest levels compared to my previous two NCLEX preparation attempts. For the first time ever, I achieved three “very high” chances of passing on my self-assessments. She also helped strengthen my critical thinking skills and taught me effective strategies for tackling challenging NCLEX-style questions, including SATA and case studies. Beyond her knowledge and teaching skills, Pam was my biggest cheerleader throughout the entire process. She consistently uplifted me and celebrated every milestone along the way. I highly recommend Pam to anyone preparing for the NCLEX or any nursing exam. I can now say that I have now successfully passed the NCLEX and am officially a registered nurse—and I truly could not have done it without her!

NCLEX

I highly recommend Pam as an NCLEX tutor. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and truly cares about her students’ success. Pam explains difficult concepts in a clear, simple way and helps you think like the NCLEX wants you to think. Her strategies boosted my confidence and helped me approach questions more critically. If you are serious about passing the NCLEX, Pam is the tutor you want. Pam is an amazing NCLEX tutor

The best tutor for nursing school.

I have done tutoring for most of my life through school programs and in person tutoring. A lot of the time, tutoring can make me feel dumb or judged for not knowing something but pamela does the opposite. Every time we have a session she is trying to uplift me and find different ways of teaching that fits my learning style. My grades in the start of nursing school were not cutting it until I started doing tutoring with her. She provides so many resources and is very well rounded with having a teaching and RN background. Her real life experiences help me connect topics that i once struggled in. Pamela is all around amazing and im so lucky to have her as a tutor. If you want better grades in nursing school you need pamela!
