Scheduling note - unavailable for tutoring November 3–15, 2026. Tutoring sessions will resume November 16, 2026.

Hi, I’m Janet ,
Most nursing students don’t struggle because they don’t study enough — they struggle because they haven’t been shown how to think through the questions.

I help you connect the “why” so you can break down Med-Surg, Pharmacology, and NCLEX-style questions with confidence.
I’m a registered nurse with many years of experience in both clinical practice and teaching. I work with nursing students at all levels — whether you are learning Medical-Surgical Nursing and Pharmacology, preparing for exams, or getting ready to take (or retake) the NCLEX.

What makes my approach different is that I don’t focus on memorization — I focus on helping you think like a nurse.

Many students come to me feeling like they “study a lot” but still struggle with exams or NCLEX-style questions. That’s usually because nursing tests are not just about content — they are about how you:
• recognize what’s important
• connect symptoms and disease processes
• prioritize care and safety

In our sessions, we break things down step-by-step so you can understand not just the “what,” but the why behind it.

We work on:
✔ Med-Surg and course exam preparation
✔ Pharmacology (understanding medications in context)
✔ Clinical judgment and prioritization
✔ NCLEX preparation (first-time and repeat test takers)

I create a calm, supportive environment where you can ask questions, build confidence, and develop a clear, repeatable way to approach both exams and real clinical situations.

My goal is to help you feel more confident not just for your next test — but in how you think as a future nurse.

I look forward to working with you

Highly Recommend Janet for NCLEX Preparation

I highly recommend Janet as an NCLEX tutor. I have always struggled with standardized tests, from the SAT in high school to nursing school exams, so I knew the NCLEX would be a significant challenge. Unfortunately, I did not pass on my first attempt. Working with Janet completely changed how I prepared for the exam. She was consistently well prepared and developed a clear, effective study plan tailored to my needs. We met twice a week for one-hour sessions, and every meeting was focused, organized, and productive. Instead of simply working through endless practice questions, Janet taught me how to study strategically for the NCLEX. She helped me break down questions, recognize what they were really asking, eliminate incorrect answers, and choose the best response with confidence. The greatest benefit was learning how to think like a nurse when approaching NCLEX questions. Janet’s guidance strengthened my test-taking skills and gave me the confidence I needed. With her support, I passed the NCLEX on my second attempt, and I truly do not think I could have done it without her. If you are struggling with the NCLEX or do not feel confident as a test taker, I strongly recommend Janet. Elizabeth

Elizabeth, thank you for this thoughtful review. I’m so proud of the work you put in and the way you kept going after your first attempt. You were open to learning a new approach, and you worked hard to build both your test-taking skills and your confidence. It was an honor to support you on your journey. You came to me as my student, and now I’m proud to call you my colleague. Congratulations, Elizabeth!

Greatful For my tutoring experience with Janet!

As an NCLEX repeat test taker I was struggling to look for help, and Janet was there to help me! She helped me build confidence and break down questions with me to fully understand. I can proudly say I passed my NCLEX thanks to the help of Janet. Highly recommend her; she's the best!

Man man man where do I even start! I want to tell you guys that if you have taken the NCLEX already or even if you have not yet. You can trust Janet to bring your confidence levels up as well as your knowledge and thinking like a nurse. After my first attempt on the NCLEX I came to Janet and she helped me go from disappointment and sad to happy and finally a registered Nurse. So I want to say thank you Janet and I highly recommend her!

James, thank you so much for taking the time to write this. Your words mean more to me than I can say. I’m so proud of the work you did and the determination you showed, especially when you were feeling disappointed after your first attempt. You kept going, grew in confidence, and earned your place in this profession. It was an honor to work with you, and I’m grateful I could be part of your journey. You came to me as my student, and now I’m proud to call you my colleague. Congratulations, James!

The BEST NCLEX Tutor!

Janet helped me pass my NCLEX! I had failed on my first attempt, came onto Wyzant and had a session with a tutor and I did not feel like that tutor was my style of learning. I came to Janet and she was absolutely amazing. She made me feel comfortable and knowledgable. Janet broke everything down to make what was difficult understandable. After working with her for a few weeks I attempted the NCLEX for the second time and passed! If you are thinking about working with Janet, do it! She was amazing and really took the time to understand how I learn and what I needed help with.

The best NCLEX tutor!!

I seriously cannot recommend Janet enough! I worked with her after failing the NCLEX on my first attempt, and with her help I was able to pass on my second try! She helped me completely change the way I approached NCLEX questions. Instead of just focusing on memorizing more and more content, she taught me how to actually break down the questions, figure out what they were really asking, and work through the answer choices. She also gave me practice quizzes and case studies based on the areas I was struggling with. I would work through them on my own and then we would go over them together, which helped SO much. She didn’t just tell me the right answer, she explained why it was right and helped me understand the thought process behind it. We were able to focus on my weaker areas and work through difficult topics until they actually started making sense. Janet was also so patient and encouraging throughout the entire process. After not passing my first attempt, my confidence was definitely not where it needed to be, and she helped me build that back up and feel so much more prepared going into my second attempt. I truly don’t think I could have done it without her. I am SO grateful for all of her help and would recommend her to anyone preparing for the NCLEX, especially if you are struggling with how to approach and break down questions!!

Such an amazing tutor!

Janet tutored me for my second attempt of the NCLEX. She helped me break down concepts I was struggling with and actually explained the thought process of why the correct answer was correct. She provided me with case studies and quizzes for each big section of content, which really helped me break down what questions were asking. She was so patient and encouraging and I couldn’t have done it without her! I failed on my first attempt and after having her help I passed! I couldn’t be more grateful for how amazing she was!

Knowledgeable and helpful tutor

Janet was so amazing and helped me understand the concept of how to answer questions on the NCLEX. I failed my first attempt and we studied areas I was not to confident in. She. helped me gain confidence in my approach with critical thinking and process of elimination. I passed after 10 sessions with her and couldn't be more thankful :)

Excellent Nursing Tutor

Janet has been an excellent tutor. She explains difficult nursing concepts in a way that is easy to understand and takes the time to make sure I truly understand the material. She has helped me improve my confidence with NCLEX-style questions, pharmacology, and med-surg topics. Janet is patient, knowledgeable, and always comes prepared for our sessions. I highly recommend her to any nursing student looking for extra support.

Great teacher, very kind and encouraging

Janet is great! We talked about where my weaknesses were and she gave me a way to study throughout the week until we meet again. She’s very knowledgeable and I am confident that she will help me pass on the first go!
