Welcome to CleverOrcaVT

Your comprehensive, confidence-building solution for tackling the Veterinary Technician National Examination (VTNE®).
As part of the StudentRDH family, we bring the same care, dedication, and innovative approach to help aspiring veterinary technicians reach their goals.

How It Started

The story of CleverOrcaVT all begins with our founder, Claire Jeong, an RDH with a passion for learning.

Ever since a young age, she has had her own experiences of moving and feeling like she was not meeting her standards. Over time, she developed a system that worked for her, her peers and the students that she was tutoring. After graduating as a RDH, Claire set out to utilize the systems that enabled her to excel to help other Student RDHs pass their boards.

CleverOrcaVT was born out of a desire to help students who were in the same situation as she was. Over the past 10+ years,

CleverOrcaVT has become renowned for its comprehensive system that combines memory techniques, live study sessions, one of the best review books, and excellent customer support.

Why 'CleverOrca'? 

There’s a reason we chose the orca. Orcas are remarkably intelligent animals with powerful, highly specialized brains. They learn, adapt, communicate, solve problems—and even use parts of their brains in ways humans cannot. 

But what inspires us most is how they learn together. Orcas live in close-knit communities called pods, where knowledge and behaviours are learned from one another and passed from older generations to younger ones. What one generation has learned can help the next generation thrive.
That feels a lot like education to us. Teachers share their knowledge and experience with students. Students become the next generation of professionals—and eventually pass what they know to others.

At CleverOrca, we believe learning is bigger than one person. We learn together. We share what we know. And we pass knowledge forward.
That’s the CleverOrca way.
