Experienced Spanish Teacher - All Levels - Specializing in MS and HS

I love to teach nursing as much as I love nursing. I received my BSN cum laude from Adelphi University over 30 years ago. I passed the first time I took my nursing board examinations (NCLEX). I know that it is very difficult to just take practice exams from a review book. Learning should be fun and relevant, not dull and boring. I believe that the right 1:1 tutor-student relationship is what makes the difference! I teach students to look for "clues" in the questions which helps them nar... Read more
