When should I sign up for the ProgramPrep tutoring service?

Many nurse anesthesia residents use our tutoring service during the final year of their program. Others will find us when they have failed the National Certification Exam multiple times. Our advice is for you to assess your own journey and how you see yourself finish this journey. You want to see yourself successful. Your goal is to become a knowledgeable and prosperous CRNA. If reaching this goal confidently means you want us to help you, that is the time you should email Matthew and discuss your situation and dreams. 

Who will be my main contact?

The initial contact will be with Matthew Zinder, MS, CH, CRNA. He will conduct the initial intake interview and discuss if our program is of benefit to you. 
If you and Matt believe ProgramPrep may be of benefit for your CRNA journey, your next stop will be a conversation with Michael and Annette. We will discuss what we can do from a didactic standpoint to help you be successful. 

Is ProgramPrep a new service?

Peter Strube, DNAP, CRNA, MBA, FAANA taught under the name of CRNA Tutor for 12-13 years.
Peter tutored nurse anesthesia residents for 6-7 years, helping hundreds of nurse anesthesia residents on his own, before he partnered with Matt in 2018. Matt brought his passion and wealth of knowledge about mindfulness and hypnosis to the tutoring service. Together they have helped 500+ nurse anesthesia residents pass the National Certification Exam.
In the fall of 2023 Peter partnered with Michael Storm, DNAP, CRNA to bring Michael's online courses and printed books to his tutoring service. 
Since the untimely death of Dr. Peter Strube in 2023 Michael Storm and Annette N Storm, MNA, CRNA have stepped in as the didactic partners with Matthew Zinder. Michael has been teaching nurse anesthesia residents since 2006 and Annette joined him in 2013. Together they own the business Storm Anesthesia.
Peter, Matt, Michael, and Annette settled on ProgramPrep as the new name for their partnership.
