Stop Memorizing. Start Understanding.
With over 18 years of experience in high-pressure environments—including the ICU, Emergency Department, and Flight Nursing—I know that nursing school and EMT school isn't just about what you know; it’s about how you think. I am a Registered Nurse, a Paramedic, and the founder of BreakingDownNursing, where I specialize in simplifying the most intimidating concepts in healthcare.

Extremely Knowledgeable & Patient Tutor with Extensive Background in Critical Care
I had the privilege of being tutored by Katy, and I cannot express how incredible valuable her guidance has been in my nursing journey of taking Critical Care. She is hands down one of the best tutors I have ever had and I genuinely urge you to hire her as your tutor if you're struggling in Critical Care. Katy possesses a level of knowledge in critical care that is nothing short of remarkable, and her unique approach to teaching has transformed my understanding of truly complex nursing topics. One of the standout aspects of Katy's tutoring is her ability to simplify intricate concepts. She has an arsenal of additional resources, including informative diagrams and images, which she readily provides during our sessions. These visuals help elucidate complex ideas like preload and afterload, making them much more digestible and applicable. The incorporation of these visual aids has been instrumental in my learning experience. As a nursing student who has faced significant academic challenges, Katy's support has been a game-changer for me. Her tutoring has not only boosted my grades but has also significantly improved my grasp of the material. Thanks to her guidance, I am now able to actually retain nursing concepts and effectively apply them in a critical thinking capacity during exams and clinical scenarios. Katy's knack for creating memorable mnemonics and tricks to aid in learning is another aspect of her tutoring that sets her apart. She has shared techniques that were not taught by my professors in class but have proven to be incredibly helpful during exams. These mnemonic devices will stay with me throughout my nursing career thanks to Katy's innovative teaching methods. Katy's patience and dedication to her students are truly exceptional. She is always willing to meet throughout the week to go over material and help prepare for exams. Her unwavering commitment to her student's success is evident in every session, and I have never felt alone in my academic struggles with her by my side. I am convinced that Katy has played a MAJOR role in my success this quarter. Her tutoring has not only elevated my performance (in exam scores that I have NEVER produced before) but has also fostered a deep understanding of really difficult concepts in critical care. I am incredibly grateful to have found Katy as my tutor, and I can't recommend her enough to anyone looking to excel in their nursing studies. She is a fantastic tutor and a true asset to anyone lucky enough to have her support.

Truly the best.
I genuinely cannot say enough good things about Katy. I love her so much! She has become not only an amazing tutor, but also a friend that I genuinely look forward to learning from. She makes our sessions something I’m excited for, even when the material itself is not exactly something I’m excited about! What makes Katy such a gem is that she encourages me in so much more than just academics. She pushes me to be a hard worker in every aspect of life, and she truly walks the talk. Her work ethic, knowledge, and passion for nursing are so evident, and I have learned so much from simply having her as someone to look up to. I also love that I can ask her questions that go beyond whatever we are studying that day. Whether I’m asking about nursing school, becoming a nurse, or what life and career options can look like afterward, she always gives me an honest and thorough answer. She has such a deep understanding of nursing and genuinely wants to help me succeed long-term, not just pass my next exam. On top of all of that, she is SO fun. I love cutting up with her during our sessions, and her sense of humor makes learning feel so much less stressful. You can tell that she truly loves what she does and cares about the people she teaches. I feel incredibly lucky that I found Katy and would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone going into nursing. She’s the kind of tutor and mentor you hope to find.

The absolute best tutor you could ask for!
I cannot begin to express just how amazing a tutor Katy has been! I took my NCLEX exam for the first time in March and did not pass. After a couple of months of trying to get myself back on track, I found Wyzant and immediately noticed Katy's page at the front of the line with glowing reviews. I came into our first lesson nervous and dejected from my previous experience, but Katy's patience with me and my knowledge gaps, and her kindness and knowledge and insight quickly helped me to realize I knew more than I had let myself think I did. The way she was able to take what I knew, fill in the gaps, and explain all the different aspects of what I needed to know in ways that made sense was beyond phenomenal. Her bank of knowledge across the entirety of nursing was honestly amazing. More often than not, she was able to provide some real-world examples to help drive certain concepts home, which I personally found helpful in understanding certain concepts and then being able to remember them and apply towards whatever questions I would be working on. She truly understands how to reach you with whatever your learning style may be and can make concepts feel so much easier and less complicated to learn and understand on such a fundamental level! With Katy's help, I was able to pass the NCLEX on my second attempt. If you're looking for a tutor who is knowledgeable beyond belief, patient and kind, and has adorable dogs who love to run around, then you truly could not find a better person! Do yourself a favor and book lessons with Katy; you truly will not regret the choice!

Best Nclex Tutor! Forever grateful for her help!
Katy is extremely knowledgeable and breaks down topics to make them easy to understand. She has great test taking tips that helped me pass the NCLEX in 85 questions. I had a job waiting for me and only had one shot to pass, Katy helped me gain the confidence and prepardness to feel ready to take the test. Her patience and ability to make tutoring enjoyable puts her in a league of her own!

Great tutor
I had a really great experience with my tutor. She was very patient and took the time to break things down in a way that actually made sense to me. I struggle sometimes with understanding certain concepts, especially in pharmacology and fundamentals, but she explained everything step-by-step and didn’t rush me. What I appreciated the most was how she made sure I understood the “why” behind things, not just memorizing information. She also gave helpful tips for answering NCLEX-style questions, which I really needed. Overall, she made me feel more confident and less overwhelmed. I definitely feel like I have a better understanding after working with her, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs extra help.
