aubreynursingtutor.comThe Background That Makes the Difference
BSN Valedictorian · 4.0 GPA
Graduated at the top of my nursing class from one of the top nursing programs in Texas. Appointed as a tutor by my professors while still in the program.
Passed NGN NCLEX in 85 Questions
Took the Next Generation NCLEX, not the old version, and passed in 85 questions on my first attempt in 2023. I know this exam from the inside.
99th Percentile ATI TEAS
Scored in the 99th percentile nationally on the ATI TEAS on my first attempt. I teach the same strategies and frameworks that got me there.
Six Years in Healthcare
Three and a half years at the bedside in postpartum and antepartum care, where I also precepted new nurses, and three years as a nursing assistant before that. The clinical reasoning I teach is the reasoning I used on shift.
MSN in Nursing Education (In Progress)
Currently pursuing my master's degree in nursing education at UT Arlington, where I'm studying how nurses actually learn and how to teach them better.
4,000+ Hours · 250+ Five-Star Reviews
Over 4,000 hours of tutoring experience across 4+ years, with 250+ five-star reviews across NCLEX prep, nursing school support, TEAS/HESI, and new grad coaching.
I Didn't Set Out to Be a Tutor. My Professors Chose Me.
When I was in nursing school, I was one of three students out of a cohort of 100 selected by my professors to tutor my peers. It wasn't something I applied for. My academic performance and my ability to explain concepts clearly put me on their radar. That appointment felt like confirmation of something I already suspected: teaching is what I'm built for.
It wasn't the first time. In my first degree at UTSA, I spent five semesters as a Peer Mentor, working with first-year students on everything from adjusting to college life to building habits that would carry them through. That experience taught me that mentorship is about the whole person, not just the subject matter. When I transitioned into nursing tutoring, I brought that same philosophy with me and just narrowed the focus to academics.
"I was chosen by my professors because of how I performed and how I taught. That validation from people who had seen hundreds of students was the moment I took my own teaching ability seriously."
Fundamentals & the Learning Curve
Nursing school is unlike any academic experience before it, mentally, physically, and emotionally demanding all at once, with enormous amounts of content delivered at a relentless pace.
Med/Surg: The Hardest Semester
Med/Surg is where most students struggle most. The volume of content, the complexity of the patients, and the clinical judgment required all peak at once. I navigated it with a 4.0.
Valedictorian: Top of the Class
Graduated as valedictorian with a 4.0 GPA from one of the top nursing programs in Texas. The result of learning how to manage the full weight of nursing school, not just the content.
Passed NGN NCLEX in 85 Questions
Took the Next Generation NCLEX on the first attempt and passed in 85 questions, applying the same clinical judgment frameworks I now teach every student.
I Know How Hard It Is Because I've Been There
Nursing school is hard in a way that's difficult to explain to people who haven't done it. The volume of content is part of it. The harder part is that everything feels high-stakes all the time. Every exam, every clinical, every question on a test that could be any of five reasonable answers. The mental, physical, and emotional weight of it is relentless.
Med/Surg was the hardest semester of my program. Not because the content was impossible, but because of the sheer amount of it arriving all at once, on top of clinicals, on top of everything else life doesn't pause for. I know what it feels like to be in the middle of that, and I know what it takes to come out the other side with a 4.0.
That experience is why I don't just teach content. I teach how to manage nursing school as a whole, how to prioritize, how to study efficiently, how to build a reasoning framework that works across every topic instead of memorizing facts for each exam separately.
Teaching Isn't What I Do on the Side. It's My Calling.
After years of tutoring students, precepting new graduate nurses on my unit, and working toward my MSN in Nursing Education, I stopped treating teaching as something I'm good at and started treating it as what I'm here to do. In November 2026 I left the bedside to do it full time.
The moment that defined it for me isn't one moment. It's the same moment, repeated hundreds of times. It's when a student who has been stuck on something for weeks suddenly gets it. When the clinical reasoning clicks. When they go from dreading NCLEX questions to working through them with actual confidence. That moment of breakthrough is what I orient every session around, and experiencing it never gets old.
My long-term goal is to stay in nursing education, whether that's continuing to grow this tutoring practice, working with a major NCLEX prep company, or moving into a formal nursing faculty role. I'm pursuing my MSN specifically because I want the depth and the credentials to do this work at the highest level possible.
"I experience peak fulfillment when a student hits that moment where something clicks like it never has before. That's what I'm working toward in every single session."
How I Actually Teach
My approach is the same whether we're working on fundamentals, NCLEX prep, or new grad support. The framework doesn't change, only the content does.
How and Why: Not Just What
Memorizing facts doesn't build clinical judgment. Understanding pathophysiology, mechanism, and reasoning does. I teach the underlying logic so that knowledge transfers to any question, any patient, any situation.
Targeted, Not Exhaustive
There is no point covering everything equally. I identify where your reasoning breaks down specifically and we spend time there, not working through a generic curriculum from page one.
You Are My Equal
I don't talk down to students or treat confusion as a character flaw. You are a capable person who needs the right framework and the right support. My job is to provide both, and to be honest with you when something isn't working.
Worst-Case Thinking for Prioritization
NCLEX and bedside nursing both require the same skill: identifying what could kill your patient fastest. I teach systematic worst-case scenario reasoning so prioritization becomes a process, not a guess.
Consistency Over Intensity
One marathon session rarely works. Regular, focused sessions that build on each other do. I push for recurring engagement because that's how clinical reasoning actually develops, through repetition and reinforcement over time.
Honest Over Comfortable
I will tell you when your approach isn't working, when you need more time than you've given yourself, and when you're close versus when you're not ready yet. Honest feedback is more valuable than encouragement that leads you into a test unprepared.
