‍ What Students Say

“I thought I was just bad at tests. Turns out I just needed someone who got it—who didn’t make me feel dumb and helped me believe in myself again. That was Rhoda.”

“I was burned out before I even started. Rhoda helped me slow down, build a plan that actually fit my life, and finally feel like I could do this.”

You’re not alone—and you’re not the problem.

Meet Rhoda — Your NCLEX Tutor & Coach

Hi, I’m Rhoda—a nurse educator, NCLEX tutor, and the heart behind One on One TIPS.

I work with students who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or burned out by NCLEX prep.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking…

  • “I don’t even know where to start.”

  • “Why do I blank out when I see NGN questions?”

  • “I should know this by now… right?”

You’re in the right place.

Information about my background and approach

What makes this different?

This isn’t bootcamp. It’s not another cram session.
It’s strategic, supportive, and built around you — your life, your brain, and your goals.

I believe the best tutoring happens when a student feels:

  • Safe to say “I don’t know”

  • Respected — not rushed

  • Challenged — but grounded

🎓 My Background

I’ve worked as:

  • A nurse

  • A clinical instructor

  • A nurse educator

  • And now — your guide through the hardest exam of your career

I’ve helped students who were...

  • Retaking the NCLEX for the second, third, or fourth time

  • Balancing work, kids, and burnout

  • Struggling with test anxiety or ADHD

  • Feeling completely lost — but ready to try again

And I’ve seen them pass.
