About Me

I have tutored private clients in elementary, middle, and high school math for years; worked with disabled students on improving communication and academic skills through the "Best Buddies" program; and taught English language to Russian speakers during a U.S. State Department study abroad scholarship in Moldova. Though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Math, and Public Speaking. In my experience, preparing students for Standardized Testing is immensely satisfying (especially in the Writing and Reading sections) as so much of a student's success is based on their mastery of testing techniques and strategies. I also firmly believe that Public Speaking, as well as organizational skills, are critical to a student's level of confidence and advancement in any subject. I understand that each individual student has a unique approach to learning, and I try to pinpoint the most effective study and comprehension strategies for each of my students, so that he or she feels that his or her time is being used effectively, and so he or she can utilize new tools for success in future classes. In my spare time, I enjoy theater (whether that be participating as a performer or singing along to songs in the car), soccer, dance, and reading.

Q&A with Olivia

I believe that a single method of learning does not work effectively for every student. A student's success lies in the ability to pinpoint the most efficient strategy for learning, whether that be pneumonic devices, graphic organizers, practice problems, or any of the thousands of different educational tools out there. As a teacher, I want to work with a student to provide the individualized attention that they may not receive in a school environment, and cater my tutoring style to his or her personal preference.
