Dear Clients,
Hello, I am a Nursing Professor in a BSN University setting for the last 13 years and a Nurse Practitioner. I have over 30 years of nursing experience in many inpatient and outpatient community settings. I have tutored on Wyzant's platform for over four years now to help all levels of nursing students. Nursing education allows me to teach and facilitate learning in various client care settings to prepare students to be safe, competent nurses caring for clients today and in the future. As a nurse educator, nurturing a diverse community of learners by establishing a relationship with the student learner and engaging the student to realize their potential and success. It enables me to influence the lives of others and assist in the learning process.
I facilitate and lead the Next Generation NCLEX-RN (NGN) preparation courses and seminars for senior-level nursing students for three programs at my University. I consult with other Universities to help their students with a plan for success. I currently work with students preparing for the NCLEX examination and have been for 13 years. Helping students understand content with evidence-based literature to increase critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and clinical judgment is so important for the Next Generation NCLEX (NGN). I aim to collaborate and work with students to be successful learners with confidence and safe practice nurses. Let's make you successful together!

BEST TUTOR EVER!!!!

I am a repeat NCLEX taker and the moment I studied with Maria everything suddenly clicked. I took the NCLEX twice, failed, and felt so hopeless. I struggle with test anxiety and had no idea where I was going wrong or what to do to pass. I found Maria and met with her 2-3 times a week. Maria is so kind and encouraging! She pushed me through the days I just wanted to give up and didn't think I could do it. She helped me realize what I was doing wrong and gave me tips and tricks on how I could fix it - and fun ways also! I couldn't believe that I could see my practice test scores going up every week! For once I felt confident walking into that testing center. During my test, I could hear Maria practically reading the questions in my head - which calmed my nerves. I was over the moon when I could tell her I passed, she celebrated with me! You can tell Maria loves what she does and LOVES her students. You will be so happy you chose her to help you! I will recommend her to anyone and everyone! I will miss meeting with her - but I know I will be a confident nurse because of all the wonderful things I learned from her. Maria, thank you so much for helping me get "RN" behind my name! I will never forget your kindness and encouragement through this stressful time.

Knowledge and organized teaching

We discussed some of the NCLEX questions I have answered previously. She explained it to me ways to understand the questions and how to answer them. Also, she give me ideas of how to read and maybe use a board to write key words that can help me to answer the question correctly.

The best tutor!!!!

I can't thank Maria enough for her support and guidance through my NCLEX preparation journey. I discovered Maria when I felt so hopeless after failing my first attempt. She wasted no time in discovering what it was that I needed to work on. Together, we discovered my strengths and weaknesses and were able to turn those around to great success. From the beginning, Maria demonstrated an exceptional level of knowledge and understanding of the NCLEX material. She also guided me to materials that made a world of difference in my preparation. These resources were comprehensive, relevant, and aligned perfectly with the exam's content, allowing me to focus and consolidate my learning effectively. Throughout our sessions, she remained extremely supportive, always ready to clarify doubts and provide additional explanations whenever needed. Her unwavering belief in my abilities kept me motivated, especially during the most challenging moments of my preparation. Thanks to Maria's guidance, I successfully passed the NCLEX. Her dedication and expertise were the driving force behind this accomplishment. I highly recommend Maria to anyone seeking a tutor who is not just knowledgeable but also deeply invested in their students' success. She is truly amazing, and I'm immensely grateful for her unwavering support.

BEST TUTOR EVER!!!!

I am a multiple NCLEX test taker. I failed both first and second times taking and after that I felt as if I lost hope. I didn't know what to do or how to prepare myself. I soon became very discouraged and knew I had to fix something. I struggle with test anxiety and test taking in general. I found wyzant and Maria by googling online tutors. Maria had the best reviews and alot of the people who used her had similar situations as i do, so I got ahold of her. Maria got back right away and instantly made me feel safe and that I got this. She is the best! She not only makes you well aware that you are going to pass next time, she made me so much more confident!! I went into my 3rd time taking the test a whole new person! I passed in 85 questions and I don't think I truly could've done it without Maria, Thank you Maria!!

THE BEST TUTOR EVER

Maria is the most supportive, encouraging, therapeutic, and dedicated tutor I have ever had. I have had tutors for various subjects, tests, etc. I am so grateful to have found Maria because she changed my life in many ways. She changed how I thought about my test-taking skills and how I viewed my knowledge. She works with all aspects of life, not only the test, but your life outside of the test. She makes sure your mental health and physical health is in line so that you have effective studying. She holds you accountable to what you talk about and has an incredibly effective method of studying for the NCLEX. Her style is a unique method that is tailored to your learning style. She is so involved and I have felt like I have built a strong connection with her after. After passing, I will truly truly miss her.

Knowledgeable and Patient Tutor

Maria did a great job working with my daughter, Lauryn. Lauryn suffered from testing anxiety and she was lacking confidence. Maria demonstrated a lot of patience and she gave Lauryn a plan to build her knowledge and confidence. I would highly recommend her.

NCLEX prep

Maria was very thorough and took careful measures in helping me grasp a concept (Physiological Adaptation) that I recently scored weak in this past week on my practice CAT. Great tutor!

THANK YOU

YES, please choose Maria as your tutor!! Approaching my NCLEX, I had lots of severe testing anxiety and stress and didn’t think I was going to be able to confidently approach the test at all. Initially, Maria was really helpful in being upfront about my abilities, needs, and areas that I needed to work on. As my studying went on, she was there to comfort me when I needed and remind me of all the hard work I had put in. She is very knowledgeable about the exam and its content, and knows exactly where I needed to work and gave me some personalized studying ideas and testing strategies. She kept things simple and made studying feel a lot less overwhelming. She also very much prioritized my mental health and often checked in on me. I had never passed a practice test in 85 questions before Maria, and as my test date approached I was passing practice exams left and right. I passed NCLEX in 85, and never ever thought I’d be able to say that. Thank you SO much Maria for the time and effort you put in to helping me!!
