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.

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.

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.

Great teacher!

Tyler is super knowledgeable and really wants you to pass your boards. My first session I learned so much from him and I love that he engages you. I am a visual learner so he showed me pictures and asked me questions to make sure I fully understand the material. Highly recommend if you studying for you ANCC/AANP exam.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Ty, who has been the best tutor I’ve ever worked with. Throughout this course, I’ve never felt more supported or secure when submitting my assignments. Ty’s guidance, clarity, and dedication gave me the confidence I needed at every step. Their feedback was not only constructive but empowering, helping me improve while keeping me motivated. Thanks to Ty, I now feel extremely confident that I will pass this course. I truly couldn’t have done it without their support. Highly recommended to anyone seeking a tutor who genuinely cares and goes above and beyond.
