2026 Nursing Student Academic Tutor / Study Coach

Tutor Doctor El Paso is seeking an experienced Nursing Academic Tutor/Study Coach to provide intensive, one-on-one support to a student currently enrolled in nursing school.

The student needs comprehensive academic support to catch up on coursework, strengthen study habits, prepare for exams, and successfully pass current nursing courses.

This is a high-hour, dedicated tutoring opportunity for someone who enjoys working closely with a student and providing structure, accountability, and academic guidance.

Schedule

Approximately 5–7 hours per day

5 days per week

Consistent weekly schedule

Dedicated private office/study space will be provided for the student and tutor

Starting date: ASAP

What You’ll Help With

This role goes beyond traditional subject tutoring. The tutor will work alongside the student to help with:

Current nursing coursework and difficult concepts

Catching up on assignments and course material

Exam and test preparation

Study strategies and effective note-taking

Test-taking strategies

Time management and organization

Executive functioning skills

Creating daily and weekly study plans

Prioritizing assignments and upcoming exams

Reviewing material for understanding and retention

Building stronger independent study habits

Accountability and staying on track

Overall academic support needed to successfully complete courses

About the Role

This is a one-on-one academic support position. The goal is not to complete the student's work for them, but to teach, guide, organize, review, and prepare the student so they can successfully complete their own coursework and exams.

Because of the intensive schedule, this could be an excellent opportunity for a nurse educator, retired nurse, nursing graduate, graduate student, or experienced nursing/health-sciences tutor looking for consistent hours with one student.

If you have a strong nursing or healthcare background and enjoy helping students develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed academically, we would love to hear from you.
