Tutoring for the NBCOT® Exam (OTA®)

As a seasoned OT tutor and proud mother of a COTA®, I am well versed in all aspects of tackling your final exam! Working in pediatrics for most of my career, and guest lecturing in two local university programs, I understand content and learning strengths and differences. Using logic and clinical reasoning to analyze questions are key areas we can develop together.

Specialization: Pediatrics- inpatient, outpatient, home health, schools. Specialist in SI and feeding.

I have helped many students pass the OT exam by creating individualized study plans that emphasize question dissection techniques and decrease test-taking anxiety. I have developed supplemental study guides for difficult topics which are adaptable to all learning styles, preparing students to critically analyze and respond to new and challenging scenarios.

Specialization: Adult acute care, sub-acute rehab and outpatient therapy practices.

With several years of experience writing questions for the OT exam and teaching occupational therapy, I'll help you improve your weak areas, enhance your clinical reasoning and ensure you're comfortable with key topics. Hundreds of my students have passed the exam, and so will you.

Specialization: Occupational therapy across the lifespan, pediatrics, geriatrics, and wellness.

I am very confident in helping you crack the OT code. I will teach you tricks that I've learnt to decipher questions and to find the correct answer. I will familiarize you with the flow of the exam and how to pace yourselves to ensure you have adequate time to finish. Each of my sessions will be catered to you and your specific needs. Looking forward to our next session and passing this exam together!

I used Pass The OT while studying for the OT exam and passed on my first attempt. I will assist you in breaking down questions and will improve your clinical reasoning skills. Understanding what the question is asking you and being aware of certain buzzwords such as “initially, best and next” is key to passing the exam. I will adapt to your learning style and guide you through the process.

Specialization: Physical disabilities, stroke, TBI, adult rehab, adult geriatrics.

By collaborating with a former OT test writer and with my experience as an educational provider, I have developed skills of taking complicated concepts and simplifying them into more understandable material and strategies that will help with answering test questions. Collaboratively, we can work together for your success. I look forward to working with you!

Specialization: Neuro rehab, psychosocial approaches, physical disabilities, biomechanics & sport injuries

As someone who frequently guest lectures at various OT programs around the country about my practice, I can say first hand I have mastered breaking down difficult concepts for students in a way that is easier to understand. Not only can I provide ways for you to break down questions in a way that makes sense, but I also can assist you with efficient and effective study methods that are going to make you feel better and less stressed. I work best with students who are just starting out studying and want extra clarity and direction, or students who have been studying on their own for a while and want someone to help guide them.

Specialization: Everything pediatrics, Frames of references, Mental Health groups, Spinal Cord Injuries.

I have had the privilege of being able to work in a variety of settings in the OT field, which has allowed me to gain diverse knowledge and experience. I have a strong background and love for orthopedics and have been referred to by colleagues as "the body architect" due to my knowledge and understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy and kinesiology. Prior to entering the OT field I taught middle and high school sciences, which allowed me to gain experience in finding ways to relay information to students with various learning styles, as well as gain the passion to help students achieve their goals. As someone who has always struggled with learning disabilities, I have devised study habits and tricks that seemed to be helpful not only to my students, but also to me when I was preparing to take the NBCOT exam. I am confident with my background and passion to help people that I will be able to help you achieve your goal of passing the NBCOT exam!
