NCLEX

NCLEX

I work very closely with nursing students to prepare them for the NCLEX-RN boards. I developed a NCLEX course which I currently teach at a local university. I meet the student where they are and prepare them where they need to be as a successful and safe competent nurse.
Nursing

Nursing

I assist students in grasping both fundamental and complex aspects of nursing. As a full-time faculty member in the BSN program, I have over 15 years of experience teaching a wide range of courses. I specialize in NCLEX preparation and have guided numerous students throughout the United States to excel in their studies and pass the NCLEX. I'm eager to help you achieve success as well.

BEST TUTOR IN THE WORLD

I can't say enough positive things about Maria! She KNOWS HER STUFF! And she's so kind and encouraging. She helped me feel more confident and is an amazing teacher. I failed the NCLEX 6 times. Yes. SIX. But I just passed in 85 questions all thanks to her! If you have any reservations, take this as your sign to look no further. YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH HER!!!

The BEST NCLEX tutor you could ask for

After not passing my NCLEX the first time, I had no idea where to start. Maria completely turned things around for me. She gave me the right resources, walked me through everything step by step, and helped me rebuild my confidence. She’s incredibly encouraging and always pushes you to be your best in such a supportive and positive way. Maria makes a plan that actually works for you and one you can stick to. She really knows her stuff and truly cares about making sure you understand it too. She’s not just a tutor, she’s a mentor who genuinely invests in your success. She also helped me with things outside of NCLEX content like managing test anxiety and believing in myself again. She taught me not just how to pass the test but how to be confident as a future nurse. I can’t say enough good things about her. If you’re feeling lost or discouraged, Maria is exactly the person you need in your corner.

The best tutor!!!

I can’t thank my tutor enough for the incredible support and guidance she gave me while preparing for my second attempt at the NCLEX. After not passing the first time, I was feeling discouraged and overwhelmed, but working with her completely turned things around. She took the time to understand my learning style and weaknesses, and tailored each session to target the areas I struggled with most. Her explanations were clear, patient, and always rooted in helping me truly understand the why behind each answer — not just memorizing facts. She also gave me practical strategies for approaching questions and managing test-day anxiety, which made a huge difference. Thanks to her help, I passed my second NCLEX attempt and feel so much more confident going into my nursing career. If you're struggling or just want solid support in your NCLEX prep, I highly recommend working with her. She’s knowledgeable, encouraging, and genuinely cares about your success.

incredible tutor

If you need a tutor for the NCLEX I highly recommend Maria. After failing my NCLEX the first time, I was feeling very discouraged and down about myself. That’s when I decided to look into tutoring and I was blessed to find Maria. She sets up a great structure for studying for the boards and is very knowledgeable on all of the subjects. On top of this, she is very encouraging! I just took my NCLEX for the second time and passed in 85 questions. I couldn’t have done it without her help. Thank you Maria.

Definitely Recommended!!

I failed my NCLEX the first attempt and afterwards I was lost and unsure how to go forward. I met with her and we came up with a game plan for success and I was able to pass my boards on the second attempt!!! You have to put in the work to be successful for this and I followed her plan and guidelines to the letter and it definitely paid off. I have used a few tutors on this website and none compare to her!

Exactly what I needed

Maria has been so helpful after just one session. She’s knowledgeable, patient and sets her students up for success. I’ve already booked my next session. I highly recommend.

Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful

We worked though my first week of my upcoming nursing semester. She was prepared and we picked up right where we left off! I plan to work with her many more times in the future. Highly recommend!

Wonderful tutor

After failing the NCLEX a few times, I finally resorted to having a tutor help. Looking through some possible tutors, I would read the reviews and found that Ms. Falvin seemed to have the best reviews. After multiple sessions trying to strengthen my weak points and many practice questions with readings, I have finally passed the NCLEX. It was thanks to her guidance and positivity that I feel had a role in me finally being able to achieve it. She guided me in a way that seems I wasn’t able to achieve on my own. She was the best decision I chose to add to helping me pass the NCLEX.

The BEST tutor EVER

Dr. Flavin is an excellent and helpful tutor. She knows how to help and make everything easier to understand. She is passionate about helping students and ensuring they pass and know the content. I am so grateful to have her as a tutor!
