Linda

NCLEX Test Preparation and Conversational ESL Tutor

I am a registered nurse and specialize in helping RN and PN candidates prepare for the NCLEX licensing exam. Tutoring can be done face-to-face or on-line, using guided review of practice questions and other resources. Many of my successful students are non-native speakers of English or came to me with special challenges, such as severe test anxiety, dyslexia or other learning differences. I individualize my approach according to the needs, schedule and budget of each student. In addition,...

Cristina D. from San Francisco, CA

She knows very well San Francisco and she has a lot of information that like to share with her students.


Michael D. from San Rafael, CA

This week Linda helped me to continue to slow down my answering of questions. She also prompted me to identify what each question was really asking, and how I could eliminate answers based on simply reading what was given. Each session with Linda I gain more confidence and jump off to the next day with a more positive testing attitude. They are extremely valuable tutoring sessions. Thanks Linda!!! 7/16/2013 Again Linda's insight and knowledge in working through these questions with me continues to improve my confidence in answering these questions. She never rushes me, and at times prompts me to think about the questions in alternative ways so that I may come to the answer more efficiently. I thoroughly appreciate the time we have spent together. I believe it will pay off when it comes time to take the NCLEX once again. Thanks you so much Linda!!!


Shale S. from Hayward, CA

Linda is a great tutor. She is patient, kind, and really has a passion for helping her students. After working with Linda, I was able to pass the NCLEX RN Board. She is very accommodating to your time schedule and needs. She helped me on improving my problem areas and how to become a better test taker. The first time we met, we hit it off. While working with Linda, I felt more confident in my abilities and ready to take the Board. Thank you so much Linda for all your help and guidance. Definitely the best tutor I have ever had!


Briana F. from San Francisco, CA

Linda is a fabulous tutor. She is patient, honest, and truly wants you to be successful! Her tips & insights really helped me approach each question confidently - In addition to looking for patterns and slowing down. I would definitely recommend Linda to anyone who needs a little extra help and one-on-one time with their NCLEX studies!


Mike R. from San Francisco, CA

Linda is amazing. She finds methods to make learning fun for our daughter. She is always prompt and professional. She has incredible patience and a keen ability to channel our daughter's energies into educational exercises.


Maegan L. from Panama City, FL

Ms. Linda is a very good tutor. She is very easy to talk to, super nice, patient, and a very good teacher. I took two different RN-NCLEX test prep courses and attempted the NCLEX twice and was unsuccessful. I then found this website and contacted Ms. Linda for help. I quickly learned that she taught me more than the test prep courses that I spent A LOT of money on and did not work. She walked me through step by step until I was able to do it on my own. Not only did she help me understand how to answer NCLEX style questions, she also helped me build back my confidence. I retook the exam on Friday and I just learned that I PASSED!!! I highly recommend Ms. Linda! I couldn't have done this without her.


Molly W. from San Mateo, CA

I contacted Linda through WyzAnt after I failed the NCLEX-RN. A friend in a similar situation recommended her and I am very fortunate he did. Linda is patient, prompt, knowledgeable, and a good teacher. She taught me a new approach to the NCLEX exam which proved beneficial. While Linda made me feel more confident and prepared for the exam, she was also straightforward and honest with me about weaknesses I needed to strengthen. She helped me develop a plan to re-take my exam and evaluate my progress every session to make sure I was on track. She has great materials and questions for practice. One of the biggest things I was able to take away from our sessions was increased confidence. I was really down after not passing the first time so this new confidence fueled me going into my second attempt. I passed my NCLEX and I know it was in part because of her help.


Doris B. from Martinez, CA

After being unsuccessful with the NCLEX multiple times I finally began researching for tutors and found Linda. She helped me realize the majority of my problem was from test anxiety. She is an amazing tutor that is very knowledgeable and patient, and will work with you on testing strategies to master the NCLEX. She helped me increase my self confidence which is half the battle. I would highly recommend her to anyone.


Claire H. from San Mateo, CA

I needed some extra help preparing for my NCLEX exam. Linda provided great practice questions and taught me different ways to approach and think about each question. She also helped me identify my weaknesses so I knew what to focus on. Using her methods and study plan I was able to pass the NCLEX the first time!


Deborah S. from Menlo Park, CA

This was my first meeting with Linda G. but her background in nursing and teaching Kaplan is going to be very instrumental for me to pass the NCLEX. Linda's manner is calm and her technique on how to prepare for the NCLEX is excellent!


Sadie B. from South Jordan, UT

After not passing NCLEX I was feeling very discouraged and hesitant to try again. I started working with Linda and she gave me the confidence I needed to pass. She was very patient and always took time to answer any questions I had. She made me feel like I could do it! I have never worked with a better tutor. I highly recommend Linda for anyone that needs an extra boost. She was truly fantastic. I took my test again and passed and I owe it all to Linda. She made my dream come true!


Serena B. from San Bruno, CA

I signed up with Linda after failing my NCLEX. I was immediately impressed when I met her. She first looked over my NCLEX score to assess what my weaknesses were, and we started getting to work right away. Every session we had, she was very prepared and brought her own materials. She brought tons of practice questions, medication cheat sheets, and more. Linda helped me to really work through the questions and think about what it was really asking. I started to see a vast improvement in how I attacked the questions. I ended up passing my NCLEX in 83 questions thanks to Linda. I recommend her to anyone. She is absolutely the best!!


Jennifer F. from San Diego, CA

In desperation I was looking for help passing NCLEX. After 3 attempts (each time taking the entire 265 questions), I knew I needed something more. I came across Linda's profile, read her reviews and background; I was definitely impressed and decided to take a chance. Right away Linda was able to assess my weakness. She was patient, knowledgeable, easy to connect with, and offered great study tricks and tips. Just recently I am happy to report I passed with 77 questions and am a RN! I really do owe this to Linda. She helped build my confidence and approach this beast of a test in a different way. Making the decision to connect with Linda is one I am grateful for. Thank you Linda for all your help!


Diana A. from Pomona, CA

I highly recommend Linda! After failing NCLEX the first time, I knew that I needed additional help in order to be successful. Linda is very knowledgeable, patient, and overall a genuinely kind person. She knows what it takes to beat NCLEX and provides you with the tools to reach your goal. Thanks to Linda I can finally say I am nurse! - Diana RN


Megan J. from South Jordan, UT

I did four lessons with Linda. She was a great tutor and explained how to answer the questions. I had taken the NCLEX-RN three times previously getting 265 questions. I can finally say that I passed on the fourth time with 265 questions. Thank you Linda!


Renee J. from Wilmington, NC

She has restored confidence needed to successfully prepare for a difficult nursing exam. Within minutes she was able to zero in on the problem my husband was having with NCLEX type questions. I can't express how blessed I feel to have found this company and Linda! God bless you Linda G., you went above and beyond.


Eddie M. from Orange, CA

Linda G is an excellent tutor and helped me develop confidence in my test taking thought processes and strategies. She provided me with thorough notes correlating with the material she went over and our session were highly productive. I have recently passed my NCLEX exam and have her to thank for the training of my brain in "test mode" and how to manage during a highly stressful exam. I did audio sessions with her online where we could go over questions she would display on the WyzAnt interface and I would talk through questions and say my reasoning out loud. Overall I found Linda to be very helpful to me, as an audio and visual learner, the methods used to teach proved to be very beneficial to me. If you can see her in person, well even better! I highly recommend Linda G as an NCLEX tutor. If you're looking to sharpen your test taking abilities and thought process or just need some more hands on guidance in your preparation for NCLEX Linda is highly qualified to help you! Thanks again, Linda!


Elizabeth J. from San Francisco, CA

Linda was professional and made herself available to fit my schedule. In regards to teaching, she helped approaching the question in different ways and was great with showing the different strategies which gave me the confidence I needed in feeling calm throughout the exam. I recommend Linda as a tutor to assist in passing the NCLEX RN.


Megan M. from Mount Laurel, NJ

First off, I would like to say that whether you are a repeat test-taker (like myself) or first time test taker NCLEX-RN can seem very intimidating and stressful. Linda alleviates all of this!! I worked with Linda for approx 3 months after being unsuccessful my first two attempts at NLCEX - took all 265 questions both times with exactly the same results both times :( After Linda's initial assessment of me, she was able to determine exactly what my weakness was!! Personally for me, it was my test question strategy. We worked on breaking multiple higher level questions down using strategies she offered. Those strategies are why I JUST PASSED my NLCEX with approx 118 questions!!! If you are struggling to pass NCLEX or needing extra help, PLEASE SEARCH NO FURTHER!!!! Linda was very flexible with tutoring times to fit various schedules , encouraging, patient and extremely knowledgeable. Also, we did all our lessons on-line as we live in different states and it the online classroom was very user friendly and easy to navigate. I feel so blessed to have come across Linda's profile here on WyzAnt; she IS the reason I can say I finally PASSED this final hurdle that us nursing students must overcome to begin practicing nursing. Thank You, Linda... Words cannot express the gratitude and excitement I feel! You ROCK :)))


Latoia B. from Houston, TX

Linda taught me how to break down the question to see what the question was asking me. What I like about Linda is that she is really patient and that she made sure that I understood the question before we went to the next one. What Linda helped me accomplish is patience when it comes to reading each question. This was a great session!


Erica N. from Santa Clara, CA

Linda and I are meeting to review NCLEX. Today I learned to read the questions slowly and that I still do know content! After graduating in May, I felt discouraged but Linda reminded me of my recent accomplishments of graduating and that I will prevail! No judgements allowed towards myself!


ANNAMARIE F. from San Francisco, CA

Linda understands the NCLEX. She was able to focus on my needs, assess my strengths and weaknesses and give me guidance where I needed it.


Susy S. from San Francisco, CA

I like the way Linda walks you through questions to identify your thinking process as you answer NCLEX practice questions. This has been very helpful!


Jeanyne S. from Larkspur, CA

Linda was a great tutor, she was patient and very well informed on the subject. She gave me some great tips in test taking, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs help. Thank you Linda for your time.


Sangeeta J. from Hayward, CA

I was feeling pretty down on myself with my recent results but you gave me the motivation I needed to get back on track! Thank you Linda!


Carly S. from Santa Rosa, CA

Linda is excellent! She was able to show me how to break down NCLEX style questions so that I could better understand what is being asked. She recommended the best ways for me to focus on content without having to go through a pricey online review and she makes you feel comfortable during this process.


Ashley T. from Atlanta, GA

I am a repeat test taker and I tutored with Linda 4 or 6 times because I was desperate to pass the NCLEX. Linda squeezed me into her schedule and we started to work on questions and review for the NCLEX. My problem was that I read to fast and my mind moves faster than my eyes so i would miss key words. Once i started to move fast Linda would force me to slow down by talking slow and having me read the rationale slow and that helped me slow down by answering the questions. She is a great tutor we worked together for about a 1hr 30 min once a week then when the test got closer we moved to twice a week. She also helped me with different strategies for answering the questions that other companies that I used prior to using Linda did not tell me. She is great I would recommend her to anyone who wants to pass NCLEX she is great.


Reo J. from San Francisco, CA

Linda is amazing. She thoroughly understands and appreciates the challenges current students face. Her strategies are applicable to every subgroup of NCLEX and HESI testing. She is patient, understanding, encouraging and challenging in the best way. I am in an accelerated graduate program with a difficult schedule and an intense pace. She is easy going and able to work with me within that structure. I highly recommend working with Linda.


Brian M. from Madison, AL

Dear Mrs. Linda, I am happy to inform you that on December 7th I bench marked my exit HESI with a score of 927. After numerous hours of study and practice I am finally able to enjoy my hard work. I wanted to thank you for all the practice and tips you gave me in preparation for this exam. Your practice questions, study guides and techniques for breaking down a question really helped me to get the passing grade. I am currently waiting for the Board of nursing to give the go ahead to take the NCLEX and start my career as a nurse. Thank you again for all that you did.


Gayle J. from Harrisonburg, VA

Very patient and gives great tips and strategies for the NCLEX. Very happy with the help given and plan to return for many more sessions.


Tina D. from Medford, OR

Linda has been an amazing tutor to work with. She really takes the time to get to know each person individually and focus on what they are needing help with. She is very easy to get ahold of and is very flexible with what works best for you. I highly recommend Linda as your NCLEX tutor!


Erica L. from Riverside, CA

I found Linda when i was desperately looking for extra help passing my NCLEX. I had failed my first attempt with 265 questions in 6hrs. I was devastated. When I began studying the second time around, I noticed I needed some help improving my test taking skills and understanding of the questions. That's when I found Linda, her bio caught my eye. English is a second language for myself and I had difficult understanding to concept and topic to questions partly because of it. Linda was able to identify my weak areas and simplify the questions for my understanding. She is very flexible with her schedule, patient, knowledgeable, and supplied her know questions. She explain many test taking tips and strategies to help succeed in the NCLEX. Linda helped me slow down and thoroughly read the questions building my confidence while lowering my anxiety. I had really bad test anxiety on my first attempt. After 2 months of weekly meetings, I passed the NCLEX with 104 questions. I greatly appreciate Linda and all her help, I highly recommend her.


Kasemporn C. from Ridgefield, CT

Thank you so much for the first lesson. I understand more and I like the way that you asked me to think what question is asking about and how to break down for each part of the question and what is the situation about. I like the materials and questions that you provided and used as the examples. It really helped me a lot to identify where I should focus and think through. I will listen to your advice and looking forward to see you again for the next lesson.


Laurel P. from San Francisco, CA

I am a repeat test taker and after a few tries, felt the desperate need to search for other resources to help. I came across Linda and ended up working with her for a long time (about a year doing weekly/bi-monthly sessions). I finally passed with 79 questions in 4 hours. I really have to give Linda a lot of credit for being very, very flexible with her schedule, patient and positive with me throughout the tutoring process. She was literally my cheerleader. One of the things that I liked most about working with Linda is that she taught me how to identify my weaknesses, such as dealing with test anxiety and lack of endurance and we'll work from there. She talked me through questions and helped me identify why I was choosing certain answers and provided all in depth rationales. At some point, it all started to make sense. I must say, that she not only trained me to better test but ended up helping me build better learning habits and critical thinking skills. It was invaluable.


Sean S. from Kerman, CA

Linda is very knowledgeable when it comes to breaking down nclex type questions. Her teaching methods are extremely helpful


Vesna J. from Renton, WA

I would like to encourage everyone to take on line tutoring classes with Linda! As a foreign Nurse I had a hard time passing the NCLEX-RN the first time. I found it very different and challenging from what I was used on. Since I moved to the US I thought that my nursing carrier might be over. But as they say: "once a nurse, is always a nurse", I just couldn't let go. I decided to look for help. Luckily, I found Linda on WyzAnt website, and was determined to give it a try. From the beginning Linda showed me that she was the right tutor for me. First, she assess your strengths and weaknesses, then with a great approach and a lot of patience she works along with you on your road to success. She pays attention to details, and makes sure you improve significantly in a short period of time. After couple of online tutoring classes I started to improve as well in all of the "critical" areas and most importantly to gain confidence and tools to pass my test. Today I'm a proud RN and I call Linda "My NCLEX-RN Angel Savior".:) Again, thank you Linda for everything you do!


Max L. from Albany, CA

Great first meeting really helped me break down and understand NCLEX questions. Linda was very punctual and arrived on time. She was great throughout the session having a very calming effect that helps me focus. I am looking forward to our next session.
