Feeling a little overwhelmed in your studies as a PTA..... don't be. From Day 1 of your PTA program through NPTE licensure and beyond — PTA Tutor provides the personalized, human-centered support that courses simply cannot offer. Your success is not a transaction. It's a commitment. PTA Tutor is a NYS and NYC MWBE certified business and can help you. Sharnetta Harrigan has been a PTA since 2004 and is a member of the APTA. She achieved the Advanced Proficiency Pathway in Pediatrics in 2025. She graduated from the PTA program at Suny Orange, Middletown, NY. Since then she has acquired 10 consecutive years of experience in outpatient orthopedics with Access Physical Therapy and Wellness, 14 years in school-based pediatrics, 11 years in the homecare setting, and 4 years in the SNF setting at Emerson Health Center. She is licensed in NY, NJ, and CT. She has taught PTA I at Suny Orange Community College and understands how rigorous the course work for PTA students can be. Some students can benefit from extra academic support and PTA exam prep. This is why PTA Tutor was created.
No other tutoring service covers the complete arc from student to licensed clinician. PTA Tutor does — because your career doesn't start and stop at the NPTE.
Stage 01📚
Struggling in anatomy, kinesiology, pathology, or modalities? We provide individualized academic tutoring to keep you in the program and building strong foundations.
Stage 02🎯
Personalized NPTE prep built around your score report, your weak systems, and your exam date. Not a course. A targeted human-guided plan designed to get you across the pass line.
Stage 03🏥
Licensed and navigating your first year? Considering a move to a new setting? We mentor new grads and licensed PTAs transitioning between outpatient, homecare, SNF, and pediatrics.
When a student is truly at risk of failing the NPTE, a course doesn't save them. A human who knows exactly what they're missing — and how to fix it — does. PTA tutor is a tutoring service for physical therapy assistant students. We provide online private tutoring sessions for students who may be struggling in the PTA program and need academic support. We also provide mentoring to new grads and licensed PTA's who are looking to transition into a new or different setting.
