About Olivia


Bio

My name is Ollie and I am currently a school psychologist, marriage and family therapist, and PhD candidate. I have tutored kids from ages 5 to 18 in every subject including some at the college level. Pretty much any subject that you'll need help in, I'm sure I could help! My strongest subject is Spanish. I was raised in a bilingual, Argentinian household.

My name is Ollie and I am currently a school psychologist, marriage and family therapist, and PhD candidate. I have tutored kids from ages 5 to 18 in every subject including some at the college level. Pretty much any subject that you'll need help in, I'm sure I could help! My strongest subject is Spanish. I was raised in a bilingual, Argentinian household.

With my background in school psychology I am very knowledgeable in study skills to help students with ADHD or other learning challenges. My therapy background allows me to teach students adaptive coping skills that can help them inside and outside of the classroom.

I find I have a very simple approach as to how I teach, which really helps students grasp more complicated subjects and topics. School never came easy to me, so I would have to break things down into steps and think of problems more simplistically in order for me to understand them. I think that's how many other kids learn as well, which is why I think I'm so successful with the students I tutor. Current high school students I work with have raised their GPA from 2.5 to 3.8! Once you get something to click, and you really understand it, it can change a student's motivation and trajectory for the better. I love the opportunity to help students in any way that I can and enable them to succeed!

Study Skills

I think I can tutor kids in study skills because my anatomy teacher in high school also had a huge part of the class emphasize study skills. He would teach us how to study based on the skills he learned in medical school. Every night you should review what you went over for the day for just 5 minutes. By the time a test comes along you will have retained so much more of the knowledge from class without even realizing it. And even if more studying is necessary you should go 5 minutes on, ten off. This will help you remember more of the things you are trying to. It also helps to study different chapters or sections of a topic in different rooms. Your brain will remember easier with a setting change that can be matched with certain information. I know it's not a lot, but this is honestly just part of the things I have learned and it is probably the best advice I have ever received. I know I can use it to help lots of kids who need to improve their test grades.

Olivia is great with Jenna, very patient.

Jenna and Olivia did Jenna's homework assignment, and Jenna scored a 14.5 out of 15 on her test on Friday, we're all pleased! We feel that having Olivia tutor Jenna is going to be greatly beneficial and we're happy we found her!

Kind and great with kids

She was great with my 6 yr old son. He was shy at first, but Olivia helped him get out of his shell and he learned a lot with her today. They worked on math and did reading, and pronunciation together. thank you!

I enjoyed the session.

Olivia explained very well the Maths concept that I didn't understand from my school teacher. She helped me a lot in doing the project. She is nice.

Patient and flexible

Olivia has been very patient and flexible with my cousin. She was initially contacted to tutor him in Spanish, but quickly adjusted the schedule to split his session between Spanish and Math. Olivia also, provide a comprehensive and timely summary after each session. I am positive that she will help him build his confidence in both Math and Spanish. As a result, improve his overall grades.

Great tutor

Ollie did a good job starting with my daughter. First understood what was the structure of her class and then helped her understand and then practice independently building her confidence. Was for Spanish.

Varun, 6 lessons with Olivia

Great tutor and very patient.

My daughter had a great session with Ollie. My daughter said that Ollie was patient and explained each topic in a way that my daughter could understand it. She gave tips on what sections to watch for in the SAT exams and how to prepare for them. My daughter needed to know fundamentals in specific areas of Algebra so she can continue to build her confidence in math now and in the future. I believe Ollie is helping her build that foundation so se can excel at Algebra. I would highly recommend Ollie as a tutor in Algebra. We will continue to use her as my daughter feels comfortable working with Ollie because she is down to earth and can relate with my daughter.
