I accept a limited number of students due to my clinical schedule, with availability posted in my calendar. Established students may occasionally have additional flexibility based on consistency and progress.

I am an Infectious Disease Nurse Practitioner specializing in OPAT and HIV medicine, with over eight years of bedside nursing experience as both a staff and travel nurse. I hold a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree from the University of South Carolina, with doctoral work focused on infection prevention and clinical quality improvement.

I tutor ADN, BSN, and graduate nursing students, as well as those preparing for the NCLEX and the ANCC/AANP FNP boards. I also support RN and FNP students in pharmacology, pathophysiology, physical assessment, drug calculations, acute and chronic care, pediatrics, women’s health, and public health.

My teaching style is structured, efficient, and clinically grounded. Sessions are goal-driven and focused on high-yield concepts, test-taking strategy, and real-world clinical reasoning so students can make meaningful progress without unnecessary repetition. I work best with motivated students who value focused sessions, are prepared to engage actively during lessons, and apply feedback between meetings.

Anatomy

Anatomy

I am a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. I completed Anatomy & Physiology for my BSN. I completed Advanced Physical Assessment for my DNP.
Chemistry

I used chemistry on a daily basis and got an A in Introductory Chemistry and Organic Chemistry
HESI (Nursing exam)

HESI (Nursing exam)

I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner with 8+ years of clinical experience and extensive tutoring experience with nursing and pre-nursing students. I tutor HESI A2 and nursing HESI exams using a structured, diagnostic-based approach focused on the highest-yield topics: Anatomy & Physiology, Reading, Math, and Grammar. Sessions combine concept mastery with question-based learning, test-taking strategy, and pacing to improve accuracy and confidence. Students leave with a clear study plan, targeted practice, and measurable score gains.
Medical Coding

Medical Coding

I tutor medical coding fundamentals including medical terminology, anatomy & physiology, clinical documentation, and ICD-10 diagnosis coding basics. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Nurse Practitioner, I help students understand how diagnoses and procedures translate into accurate, compliant documentation and coding logic. Sessions are practical and step-by-step: we review terminology and body systems, then apply concepts to real-world scenarios and case-based practice. Students gain confidence, accuracy, and a clear framework for studying and passing coursework/exams.

I work in Infectious Disease. I am constantly learning about organisms. I manage complex antibiotic therapy for patients with infections.
Microsoft 365

Microsoft 365

I tutor Microsoft 365 (Office) including Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook for students and professionals. Sessions are practical and task-based—we work directly on what you need for class or work (assignments, reports, presentations, email organization, spreadsheets, and formatting). I teach step-by-step shortcuts, efficiency tools, and workflows so you can become confident and independent quickly. Beginners are welcome, and I tailor each session to your goals and skill level.

I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) and Family Nurse Practitioner with 8+ years of RN experience and advanced clinical prescribing knowledge. I tutor nursing pharmacology for ADN/BSN and NP students by simplifying medications into clear patterns: drug classes, mechanisms, side effects, contraindications, monitoring labs, and patient teaching. Sessions focus on understanding concepts (not memorizing lists), then applying them through practice questions and clinical scenarios. Students gain confidence, improve test performance, and learn how to think like a safe clinician.

I am a Certified Family Nurse Practitioner. I completed Anatomy & Physiology as an undergraduate. I completed Advanced Pathophysiology as a graduate student.

I grew up speaking Spanish from a young age. My grandma spoke to me in Spanish while I was learning English. I spoke Spanish better at the time and then learned English as a second language (ESL). Throughout my high school education, I took AP Spanish and in undergraduate, I complete my Spanish Minor (Spain Spanish).

Awesome Tutor

He knew very well what he was doing and knew the material inside and out. Ty did a good job explaining the material and going over the material. I appreciate all the help and kindness. He is also getting me through nursing school which is very difficult and is knowledge is very vast in this field.

Knowledgable, patient, understands how to approach

Ty was very patient with me, was able to ease my concerns and help me identify my my gaps in learning and understanding the material. Teaching concepts, he took his time breaking them down to better understand them, even provided material I can study until our next meeting. He stated " the more you look at the material, it can help retain the information."

NP review

TY was extremely helpful throughout my Nurse Practitioner review process. They took the time to break down complex concepts into clear, easy-to-understand explanations, and provided practical tips that made studying more focused and efficient. Their guidance not only reinforced key clinical knowledge but also boosted my confidence in approaching difficult exam topics.
