If you struggled in your coursework during dental hygiene school (earning C's or lower), we suggest using a tutor for the NBDHE. If you have a history of severe test anxiety, have failed multiple exams in dental hygiene school, or have taken the NBDHE unsuccessfully, we strongly recommend using a tutor as a part of your study strategy.

While we truly think anyone can benefit from tutoring (even if just to build your confidence), if you have earned A's and B's throughout dental hygiene school, study well independently, are self-motivated and a high-achiever, then you will probably be just fine without tutoring. However, if you aren't feeling confident and are looking for a dose of mindset magic, we are happy to review concepts with you and ensure you're on the right track. Also, students who have busy schedules due to extracurricular activities, part-time jobs, or other commitments may find it challenging to fit tutoring sessions into their already packed schedules. In such cases, they may prioritize managing their time effectively rather than seeking additional tutoring.

We offer 2 types of tutoring that can fit a range of budgets. Group tutoring is very affordable, but these sessions are only held at certain times during the year. These range from $10-$30 a session depending on the number of students and the length of the session. Sign up for our newsletter to receive more information about group tutoring and when it is offered! One-on-one tutoring is customized to you and your needs. These sessions are $60.00/session (50 minutes).

All tutoring sessions include a review on the chosen subject matter, practice questions, test-taking strategies, and mindset practice. We will focus on your weaknesses and needs, and you will have the opportunity to ask any questions and go at a pace that works for you. The goal of these sessions is to strengthen your foundational knowledge, boost your confidence, and give you strategies to help you succeed on the NBDHE. Please be advised that we do not offer recordings of the one-on-one sessions as our scheduling system does not currently offer that capability (hopefully soon!).

When preparing for the national board, it is crucial for you to identify your weaknesses in order to create an effective study plan. We always recommend focusing on your weaknesses first. First, consider which subjects you struggled with during dental hygiene school. Also, which subjects do you hate? Those are often the most difficult to study and can be considered a weakness. If you have taken the NBDHE, review your results and evaluate them using the corresponding sections listed in the candidate guide (watch the NBDHE prep video for more help with this!). We also recommend taking a mock NBDHE exam that will help you to pinpoint your weaknesses further. You can find a free pre-assessment on studentrdh.com if interested.

While our tutoring services are comprehensive, we do not replace other board prep companies. We think the content provided by these other companies is outstanding! The study materials they provide are so helpful in narrowing down the most important concepts needed for the board exam. However, many students still need individualized support during this time of studying. We are here to help clear up concepts that don't quite make sense or assist you with techniques to truly learn the material. We also serve as excellent accountability partners to make sure that you are staying on top of your study plan!

In this session, we will discuss and plan for your application to dental hygiene school. I will review your personal history and together we will create a plan to maximize your chances of acceptance. Please come prepared with your gpa, a digital copy of transcripts, and any other pertinent information regarding your education, volunteer involvement, and job experiences.
