Peer Tutoring to Prepare for the Nursing Profession

NCLEX-RN Licensing Exam Preparation and More

Evidence-Based Tutoring Methods

NextGen Nursing Tutors empowers nursing students to succeed by connecting students with new nurses who understand the challenges of nursing school and the transition to professional practice. Through personalized peer tutoring, students receive academic support from tutors who have recently mastered the same coursework and successfully passed the NCLEX-RN.


Our program combines evidence-based tutoring methods with comprehensive Kaplan NCLEX-RN preparation materials to strengthen clinical knowledge, critical thinking, and exam readiness. In addition to content review, we focus on developing effective study habits, time management, and proven test-taking strategies that help students build confidence and improve academic performance.

Building Relationships & Confidence

We understand how students build confidence as they learn from peer tutors. New nurses who have recently completed the same coursework and have successfully passed the NCLEX-RN are able to build relationships with students to explain concepts in a way that is easier to understand.

The success of peer tutoring for nursing students is evidence-based

Research highlights the efficacy of peer tutoring in improving academic performance among novice nursing students and focuses on the beneficial impacts of peer tutoring methods to enhance academic performance. Al Yahyaei, A., Natarajan, J. R., Seshan, V., Joseph, M. A., Valsaraj, B. P., & Hamed Al Abri, F. (2024). 

Our nurse tutors complete specialized training in tutoring methodology, ensuring they can facilitate learning, foster critical thinking, and provide individualized support in a professional, student-centered environment. Our goal is to help future nurses excel in nursing school, pass the NCLEX-RN on their first attempt, and begin their careers with confidence.
