Respiratory Therapy taught by an actual practicing RT

Tyrell M.

With nearly a decade as a respiratory therapist, I bring extensive hands-on experience and a deep understanding of respiratory care to every tutoring session. My credentials, including NPS-RRT (Neonatal/Pediatric Specialist) and ACCS-RRT (Adult Critical Care Specialist), reflect a skill set suited to diverse patient populations. I’ve worked in NICU, PICU, Medical/Surgical ICU, emergency departments, and long-term care, giving me the expertise to address a wide range of clinical scenarios.
While I don’t have formal teaching experience, I’ve spent over a year tutoring respiratory care students. My approach focuses on simplifying complex concepts and preparing students for the TMC and Clinical Simulation exams. I compare this to fine-tuning an engine: with the right guidance, students can unlock their full potential and excel. My sessions emphasize both mastering the material and building confidence for exams and real-world practice.
I prioritize understanding over memorization, believing mastery comes from knowing the "why" and "how," not just facts. This helps students apply their knowledge effectively in both exams and clinical settings, boosting retention and critical thinking. My goal is to guide students toward deeper learning and empower them to face challenges with confidence.
What sets me apart is my passion for mentoring and education. I’m currently pursuing a master’s in respiratory care and plan to move into formal teaching. For now, my focus is on helping students succeed in their studies, prepare for exams, and build the skills they need to thrive. Whether tackling coursework or deepening your understanding, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
