Extremely Knowledgeable & Patient Tutor with Extensive Background in Critical Care
SARAH
“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.“

“I want to share with you how incredibly grateful I am for Katy’s support. She has been an amazing tutor who has truly helped me improve my skills and understanding of the TEAS exam. I took the TEAS three times: once last year and twice this year, but I did not meet the minimum score for the program. Katy’s patience and guidance made a world of difference. Yesterday was my final chance and I scored 94%, which is a significant improvement from my previous attempts, and I owe it all to Katy. I cannot thank her enough for her support and expertise, and I am looking forward to continuing to work with her in the future. Katy is truly an exceptional tutor who is dedicated to helping others succeed. I highly recommend her.”
