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.

Nursing exam
Very helpful review for my upcoming exam. Katy was very nice and explained topics more in depth for me and even came up with helpful mnemonics to help me remember things.

amazing!
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Katy as my NCLEX tutor, and I cannot recommend her enough. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also patient, supportive, and genuinely invested in my success. Katy helped me truly understand how to approach and break down priority questions, which had been a major challenge for me. Her teaching style made complex topics easy to grasp, and she always created a comfortable and encouraging learning environment. Thanks to Katy, I feel more confident and prepared than ever. She’s an amazing tutor and a big part of my NCLEX journey!

Tutoring Sessions
I’m very pleased with my initial tutoring session. The study plan was well-structured, focused, and tailored to my learning pace. Katy, is extremely patient, knowledgeable, and made sure I understood what was discussed before moving on. Whether it’s previewing math concepts or dissecting various strategies to prepare for the HESIA2 exam, the support has been incredibly helpful. What I appreciate most is the encouragement and positive feedback I received, which has really boosted my confidence in my test taking abilities. I’ve applied the study plan we had spoken about and already noticed improvement in my study habits. I will definitely schedule more sessions with Katy as I am planning to pursue my Nursing degree. Overall, I highly recommend Katy as a tutor to anyone who needs extra help preparing for exams or just wants to stay ahead while attending classes. Thank you again, Katy.

Miracle worker!
I failed critical care last semester and had to retake it this semester. I took the first 2 exams and did not do well at all. I was on the verge of being kicked out of my program if I failed this class a second time. Then I hired Katy and she helped me turn that around and actually pass the class! She is an honest-to-god miracle worker and 100% plan to hire her again when it comes time to study for the NCLEX!

Dosage calculations
Katy was really helpful and was able to help me understand the formula better. I did not feel rushed, she took her time to listen to what my weaknesses were. I would definitely recommend her.
